A perfect visible example of the waste in islam's wake is the pyramids. The surface of most of them has been obliterated for the building of Islamic mosques. Subhuman Islam couldn't even mine their own stone. Not for that matter, were they advanced enough to completely consume the pyramids, having only been able to scratch them up.

Rose, however, NEEDS to build myths around the cancer of Islam to pump his anti-West agenda.....

I won't say "haven't done a thing", but their decline at that time was significant, due to invasion and destruction at the hands of the Mongols. After the Hundred Years War, Europe emerged from the dark ages and, through the Renaissance and New World conquest, became the new center of trade, technology, and learning.

But that's my point. History causes shifts and power changes. I was addressing the original point, that 'good' religions can be hijacked by evil men for earthly purposes. Currently, the West and Christianity enjoy the best trade, technology, and learning. But this situation is not inherent in Christianity, and not untypical in Islam.
