The worst thing isn't that you were ignorant. But you were presuming you were an expert in things you knew little of and pontificating there on. Brumar, calm down....you're losing it. This is what I said originally: "The Greek civilization peaked and declined well before the Islamic empire. As for China and India, parts of those countries were a part of the Islamic empire at its peak." None of which was wrong......Ancient Greece, the civilization that spawned Socrates, Alexander the Great etc, had peaked and declined long before the birth of Christ. What I hadn't realized was when the Roman Empire moved its capital to Turkey, over time they began to speak Greek. In your desperate attempt to look like an intellectual, you stretched this rather mundane point over 20 or more posts. Very sad. All because you wanted to exaggerate Islam's cultural achievements vis a vis the west. Not at all....most of the world recognizes the accomplishments of the Muslims under the Islamic Empire. Its you all who seem to want to rewrite history. Thus you had to proclaim Greek culture dead a thousand years before the fall of the Byzantine empire. Changing history to reflect leftwing political correctness. You are frigging ridiculous.........I never said the Greek culture was dead......how could I when the Greek nation is alive and well. Once again, I am ignoring you.......consider medication.....they might provide some help.
