They are mostly idiots, that's true, but not because of the race, but because of the religion and overall culture of violence. Most Arab children have been sexually abused, that does not support development of normal personality. Boys have been sodomized, naturally they want to commit suicide. During the time when they were less fanatical there have been some Arab geniuses who did contribute to science and mathematics. As for literature, think of Khalil Gibran and Michail Naimy. Both Christian Arabs from Lebanon. Danny, you are misguided about Arabs. They are mostly idiots, that’s true, but not because of the race, but because of the religion and overall culture of violence.

Omar did not destroy the library of Alexandria because there was none left. It was destroyed by the Christian mob under the leadership of the bishop Cyril. He was later made a saint, St. Cyril of Alexandria. In the process the barbaric Christian monks killed Hypathia, the custodian of the library. They stripped her naked and scraped her flesh with oyster shells in the church. The library was burning for a month. Muslims don't have the monopoly on barbarity. Actually this is a myth.

Humans didn't survive them due to intellectual superiority, but circumstantial; if weather-patterns, ice-ages etc. had gone differently to produce more animals, humans could have died out instead from rampaging carnivores. Humans are also probably morally inferior to Neanderthals, who are shown to have revered each other greatly, while humans tend to be more misanthropic and violent to each other by nature.

Maybe social/eco class differences. I don't know. Chinese, Japanese very innovative. Russians brilliant scientist. Seems to me different races excel in different areas. Different "intelligence" in different areas of the world. Different blessings from One G-D;) Yes Aharon, but blacks in America have lower Iq’s than whites/other in same America.

If race has nothing to do with culture, why not a single scholar from Arabs or Blacks? They might be more advanced in other areas, boxing perhaps, but there are clear empirical differences of intellect. In fact, European brain is 1100-1200 grams while Australian aborigines' - 700gms. Arab made no significant discoveries of their own. zero, nil. They copied the ancient Greek books. I see. So the Westerners who built Pantheon were barbarians? Why such self-denigration? No, no, no.

A culture can be retarded, but the race within the culture is not genetically predisposed to this. Also there is one bit int he article that is historically false: "Westerners statistically achieved better than Arabs throughout history. Could all the previous generations be wrong? Could we imagine that no Arab throughout the history was sufficiently educated to make a major invention?" The cradle of civilization started in Egypt and flourished in Iraq. Most of the first scientific discoveries came out of the Arab world. Math, astrology. Therefore, historically the westerners were still "barbarians" while the Arabs built the library in Alexandria. It was not until the influence of Africa that the west entered the modern age. But Islam has retarded Arabia's progress, and the west has worked to keep their dominance in the world, which included colonialism, and inciting wars throughout the region.

Until then, the declarations made by <b>THE PEOPLE WHO READ THE QURAN</b> are enough for me. I do not fight books - Books can't launch nukes. I fight the people who interpret them to their liking. This is not an academic debate, and I care very little for the opinion muslims and leftists may have of me. And if you saying that the Quran does not say Mohammed ascended from the temple in Jerusalem, maybe you should tell palestinian Wakf that you think they are bunch of liars. Good luck.

The idea that something is not historically recorded until it is written down is a peculiarly European concept. "Koran" means recitation. It was not written down until much later, yet Muslims do not doubt that it is correctly recorded. Even today, in the madrasas, the Koran is committed to memory, word for word in the original Arabic. Similarly, the British found that illiterate swamis in diverse areas of India had preserved the Vedas for hundreds, if not thousands, of years virtually word for word the same in all the different locales. So, that the account of the burning of the Library was not written down until much later would cast no doubt on its veracity to a Muslim, or any scholar familiar with oral transmission of history. The same can be said of the Torah -- it is not necessary to have an autographed copy of an original manuscript to believe that it has been properly transmitted in most of its particulars.

"The first one to say that Amr ibn--al-As burnt the library was Abdul Latif Al Baghdadi (1231), then came Ibnul Qafti (1248)". This is from "www.muhajabah.com/docstorage/alexandria.htm", where the author argues, like you, that it was just a myth. My point, however, is that Muslims accepted the "myth" quite happily, until very recent times. Saladin accepted its truth. Am I to believe Unesco's biggoted opinion over that of Islam's greatest and most enlightened ruler? Sorry. Richard the Lionheart considered Saladin a noble and honorable man, though his enemy. I shall do likewise. The UN has no honor or truth in it, nor has modern, radical Islam.
