I was curious if it was something he read, or came up with it himself.

>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. You changed the argument.... >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. Simply not true. They got their asses kicked in the 15th century, and ended up becoming colonies of the Turks and then the West. Cultures don't tend to flourish when they're under the thumb of other cultures. That's just the way it works. >I nominate Z's post as the funniest of the month. Laugh all you want.... -Z
