Muslims suicide bomb Swedish shopping centre

Those discoveries were not in the past 100 years, they were many many centuries ago. I asked what has Islam contributed to knowledge in the past 100 years.

Islam laid the foundations for what is being discovered now, centuries later.

How about the discovery of genetics ? for one. There are too many to mention. Albiet the discoverers are in a secular country not a christian state.

And I told you that there was no point looking at what Islam has contributed in just the past 100 years, as Islam laid the foundations for what is being discovered now, centuries later.

Isn't this bombing in regards to what happened to the wiki leaks founder?

Indeed it doesn't, it doesn't achieve anything, but that isn't the same in the mind of the perpetrators and one must come to understand what that motivations is and the motivation is clear.

As with your last post, the remainder has no relevance and not worth replying to.

Hahahaha. Kidding?

So all of the scientific feats of pre-Christian Europe were not science at all?

The European people in pre-Christian times were so enlightened. Whenever we see documentaries about science and mathematics, we are always stunned by how much people knew in 600 BC, etc, and how quite sophisticated things that are common knowledge today were common knowledge 2,500 years ago.

The reason we are shocked is because we look back at the Dark Ages which followed, and see it as a chasm void of all scientific endeavour. Science didn't start when the Dark Ages ended - it RESUMED. The idea that science is impossible without Christianity is total nonsense - science precedes Christianity by some time.

Trust me, we'd be where we are now, plus a few hundred years on if it weren't for the scourge of Christianity supressing science for as many centuries as it did.

What Sweden gain from Bombing a shopping centre. How is that connected to wikileaks ? Are you thick ?

Muslims born in Europe you mean. By limiting Islamic immigration we limit the amount of Muslims both migrated and born here. Therefore Islamic terrorism can be significantly reduced. Muslims aree Europes largest security risk and terrorist threat, almost europeas sole terrorist threat, therefore it makes sense to stop them coming here.
We need Muslim immigrants like we need a hole in the head.

so what's your point? That we should factor the political - as opposed to merely religious - motivations behind terrorism? The political motivation is that Islamists want to remove competition to themselves in Muslim countries. The fact that they want this doesn't mean that they should get it.

First of all you don't know anything about me, how about we raise the standard of the discussion here instead of resorting to language that makes you look pathetically weak. You can check Wikileaks, US and Indian government statements accusing Pakistan of equipping and training militants to send into Jammu and Kashmir to cause instability. The root cause of 26/11. Whether or not it aids Pakistan is irrelevant, they do assist the Taliban. The Taliban attacks US/British/Other troops and also enters into disputed territory, so how can you justify that? You can't, thus your frustration. ISI is rogue, they do make decisions without the governments approval. No country has ever been stupid enough to instigate a nuclear war with a nuclear rival over petty causes.

limiting islamic immigration to europe won't make a bit of difference now. The seeds have been sown and with birth rates/conversions etc, the islamic population will continue to grow over the decades.

That is the worst argument i've seen on here in a while. It's not like the West just sat on their hands prior to that, they contributed just as much of the foundations if not more. One could argue Muslims were just building on advancements made by ancient Greece. And what good are foundations if you don't build on them anyway?

I am not talking about terrorism. I am talking about lack of respect for human rights, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism and et cetera, none of which are, unfortunately, 'rare' in the 'Muslim world'.

For example, if a secular atheist has a negative opinion of Muslims and/or Islam because of the lack of respect Muslims and Islam has for secularism and atheism, would it be fair to say that this secular atheist is no different from the Muslim who has a lack of respect/negative view of atheists and secularism? If so, then you're basically saying that a black person who does not like the KKK is the same as a KKK member who doesn't like black people.

If Islamists want to remove competition to themselves in Muslim countries, they would be bombing downtown Cairo and every office of the Mubarak held government after the recent elections.

This isn't the case

If you actually watch that video, it's very illuminating and would tell the motivation and goals of these individuals and you can decide from there which one you believe.

All those things are present in countries that arent Islamic? In fact our own country is guilty of quite a few of them as well.

I never said they did. I just said that the Arab world discovered a huge amount at a time when the West was going through a hugely difficult and dark period , and if it wasn't for these advancements in maths and science, we might not be as far along in terms of discoveries right now. I definately agree that the West has contributed a lot to science, but if they didn't have the foundations to start with, how would they have known where to start?

As for the last part of your comment, frankly that's ridiculous. If I was to start building a house right now, if I laid the foundations on an uneven terrain and maybe put a wall or two up before running out of bricks/cement and not having the means/technology to replenish my supply, and if for example another person walked past the street and saw this half finished house, and they finished building it then their workload would be less, would it not? Rather than starting from scratch which would take more time and effort, it would be easier and quicker for them to finish this house I'd already started building but had to abandon because I didn't have the means to get more bricks etc.

In any case, this argument is completely off-topic.
