and they went straight down hill after Islam took over. Haven't done or invented a thing since then, they went from the 8th century AD to the 3rd millennium BC

in the 8th Century they were height of civilization in Europe.

And they still are the height of 8th Century civilization. That's the problem.

"There is but one God and his prophet is Muhammad."

Nonsense that came from the movie the 13th Warrior.

Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: [Drawing in the sand] There is only one God, and Mohammad is his prophet.

Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.
