Stop the fallacies you make on Islam. Brake free from the brainwashing propaganda and teach yourself to research what you hear. Had it not been for Islam -not Arabs, but Islam- the whole world today would be no more than a swamp of ignorance. EVERY SINGLE SCIENCE on the face of the earth was discovered by Muslims and relayed to the world. Aerospace, Mathematics, Medicine, Biology, Chemistry... You name it, Muslims taught it to you, whatever your nationality is.

This is the witness of a Christian American. Don't take his word for it. Research for yourself.
