>>> 800 years ago, the Arabic world was the most modern in the world

What is truly humorous is that this guy is citing the Arabs' "leadership" 800 years ago as though it had SOMETHING to do with their status as living in the stone age today.

800 years ago, time stopped in Arab lands. While the rest of the world moved on, the Arabs decided they would stop all progress, and choose to remain in the 12th century.

I nominate Z's post as the funniest of the month.
