How so are they aiding Americans in their excellent quality of life? Most of the engineering that is pulling that oil out of their ground came from the brains of Westerners. There was a study done by Muslim intellectuals that pointed out that books published from Muslim countries are lower on average than any of the non-Muslim countries. Why is that I wonder? It's because they don't allow freedom of thought, much less physical freedoms. They've built a religion, gov't, cutlure, and society that is rotting from the inside out. Terrorism is a symptom of this, not the root cause of their corruption. You asked how Muslims contribute to the world. I told you........through oil. Without it, America would be in a world of hurt. Having said that, there is no question they lag behind us scientifically. Their culture is stagnant. So what? Its their choice. If we had stayed out of their business, its very likely we wouldn't be having this converation today. That doesn't mean we should nuke them.
