Most of Canada is barren land.

@innosam123 Asian is no cultural group, you mean sinic.

And they were banned from rule and the public life. Ive never heard of any woman being a scientist or a great religious scholar.

Common sense? In the horn of Africa the common sense says that a clit mutilated woman is a loyal woman. In India. that a woman should departure t the afterlife with her husband. In China and Araby, that a woman kept in house will be more loyal.

Tang: Same as history, Too far to their core lands, too near to the abasid lands. Portugal: They made a landing in Morocco and was a total disaster. The Viking one seems really interesting.

Lets return to absolute monarchies and tech and sotial stagnation.

1 And Islam quitted them the right to rule or to live an independent life. He is right that the purdah excludes women of public life. Can you name more women apart of the wives of Muhammad? Prophet`s women dont count, they are exceptions.

Really? For me LAtam seems so decadent, it only contribute by restarting and creating smeething new merging christinaity with indigenous or african beliefs.

@innosam123 I see british far more similar to europeans than japanese to chinese.

Dont make me laugh, women couldnt walk alone in the streets or travel alone, neither could be rulers. Others say first univerity created in India or Europe, depending of what you define as university. Khadija represents the freedom of preislamic society, she doesnt counts. Peislamic women could be tribes keader, no longer under Islam.

@jugurtha292 TWomen or babys?
1
@jugurtha292 Yes, and enabled women to rule. Tell me would you accept this change? Abortion will be forever forbidden if men are no longr enabled to rule and theyll have to be inside their house for their honor. Im sure you would never accept.
1
@jugurtha292 Then abortion over 40 days, as most women do. Not just have one president women, always have, men wouldnt be able of be president or king and almost always being rejected for politics. We? Who do you presume I am? I could be a german. Thats wrong, I know 2 powerful arab queens.

@swedichboy1000 Thats the point, common sense is no objective guide, what for some cultures is common sense for others is horrific.

@swedichboy1000 Genital mutilation is in fact sex equality, is female circumcision. They just ignore the diference between men and women anatomy. Hard rituals of pass reinforces group loyalty, that is the sense.

Maybe he says that, as in LAtinAmerica the genocide of natives was lesser, there the society is more a mix between west and native cultures.

@ikengaspirit3063 Not so equal, by that year abasid control or Iran was firm, so that amkes a shorter distance. Yes, and history showed how prone to revolt were those far chinese garrisons.

Why?
1
For get more power for compete with each other.
1
Thats nothing new, too was celt in the roman times. Climatically northern Italy is northern Europe, that makes its culture too northern.

He doesnt dismise clasic contribution, he just says that civ died and european civ was something new with new values. Do you prefer Islam to christanity? Why not? A common trend in the fall of civs is the lose of their faith. More than good, church is simply something that has shaped west in many things. Why it stifled change and development? As he said, last 1000 years were unstopping change. Of course killed disidents, all ideologies does. Wich conflict they catalised?
1
Because their tropical corruption.
1
@ikengaspirit3063 Why? You prefer to see part of ur sons die as kids and see u r people day of avoidable diseases and starvation in years of hunger?
1
@trndsttr7585 And both were killed after just some years if reign for be woman. So Islam quits power to women.
1
From self? And how do you concile millions of selfs unable to agree? That has always been the purpose of religion.

@forgotaboutbre Evolution? You mean, hive mind?
1
Yes, you crushed science. You didnt invented algebra, neither the decimal numbers. Wich farming advances? Wrong, if islam would make brilliance, all places not atacked by mogols would had keeping with new things. Ottoman were in fact quite progressive for the average islamic, and indonesia and sahel didnt sufered turk invasions. You renounced the science in the 11 century with turk invasions. Mogols just ended what turks started. Crescent geography was great and had good resources, they rised be4 europeans but fell in their own decadence.

@jugurtha292 See the epitaph of Diofantus, is a problem of algebra 4 centuries be4 Islam. Bad said, those are hindu numerals. So low are your merits that you must apropiate of the others? Avecina? Medicine existed in other cultures. Algorithm is invention of a alKwarizm yes.. How curious that it cam from the son of a zoroastrian and not an ancient muslim lineage. If he would have not converted, he wouldnt have been allowed to write. Tell me why dont you mention the greatest contributions ever of muslims to science. Are you ashamed of them or you are just troling?
1
@jugurtha292 Arab numbers are based in the brahmin ones, hindu invented the decimal system. Yes, our alphabet is a small modification of the phoenycian. If he would have ivented algebra Diofantus wouldnt have an algebra problem in his epitaph. See the algebra article in wikipedia for see the early steps in previous civs. That in reality isnt always truth, many people invented ancient muslims lineages for get social advantage. Lineage is really importatn in Islam, see how caliphate was limited by lineage. Just arabic name? They too have chinese name. Yeah, optics was a nice contribution. Archimedes probably knew the optics, but his kowledg was lost. I have the impression your salafi masters dont tell you many of the great contributions because they despise them.

1 You are assuming comunism was unable to survive without capitalist support. Doesnt that made it inferior? Communism had China and Russia, India was too socialist leaning. Only those 3 guys should had been enough for be their own block.
1
What are u smoking? Others were powerful, just were surpassed,a nd anywaysm their tech creativity had disapeared.

@ailediablo79 A nap of 600 years? I call that stagnation. All governs use blood and fear, you cant hate them only for that. For nothing not, here you see how we are writing us. Like Mongolians not, West didnt slaughtered the biggest cities of world. Most peaceful? Talibans in Sahel, the enslaver raids in the rest of Africa, Nader Shah, The Gurkhanis, Aurangzeb, The Qing conquest, the dzungar genocide... If those are peaceful, how bad the warlike ones. Why you dilike ottomans? The pax otomana is possibly the longest time of peace the Crescent has seen. Things expensive? Now peple is throwing more trash than ever thanks to how cheaps many things had become with industrialising. You should see how expensive are things by artisans. And Ill tell you something. The most peaceful times muslims ever lived was the western colonisation. they didnt made wars, they werent allowed to do. hey became free, and started killing each other again. Your critic of capitalism is very valid, the rest, you are only a racist who hate europeans.

@ailediablo79 Intellectual decline of the Ummah started in XI century. After 1400 there were no innovations. Same could be said of china or India. So, 600 years. Yes, and after that stagnation they become decadent fall in civil war and end invaded of others. West was the only power innovating, so got advantage of the mundial decadence. You are denying other peoples crimes and defects and exagerating western crimes. Yes, you are a racist. Sorry, but I dont buy guilt. Im not a typical westerner, Im more like th other cultures. You are not ashamed of your crimes, so I dont see why we should be ashamed of ours.
