To any Islamic fundamentalists who happen to be reading CUK…

Personally, I think it's all going to pan out somewhere between terminator and starship troopers.

These things are cyclical. I'm sure Islamic culture will rise again. Meanwhile, the West with its growing belief in astrology, homeopathy, freemasonry and all manner of other hocus pocus as well as its short-termism in outsourcing technology expertise is beginning its own long dark night of the soul.
A few centuries from now will India and China be fighting some backward terrorists who come from an impoverished Europe, call themselves Christian and complain about how great they once were?

Go on then sunshine, enlighten me. What has Freemasonry done to be included on your list. In your own words mind.

I'm not sure that Islamic culture contributed much to the idea of the empirical scientific method which came to fruition during the Renaissance in Europe, and particularly in England, although Islamic culture certainly was more tolerant then and made significant contributions to spread learning round the world, most importantly the Indian concept of zero, without which much of maths and science would be difficult, if not impossible.

Greek did alright though.

I think it's fairly obvious he included it in his list to provoke exactly that reaction from you.

LOL that it worked so well and so quickly

It hardly takes the deductive prowess of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictional detective to arrive at the conclusion that Sasguru has the wit and wisdom of your average cockroach.

At least we're doing our bit for the community by keeping him occupied, goodness knows what mischief he'd get into otherwise.

What reaction? Asking him to provide evidence for his ramblings?

You need to get out a bit more.

You may try to marginalise the xenophobic views of MIB, but unfortunately the groundswell is with him.

But why do you say that? I'm still waiting for someone to give a positive contribution from Islam and all I've had is curry and taxis which has nothing to do with religious beliefs.

Call me old fashioned but I don't see how trying to integrate a religion that is obviously so alien to northern Europe is going to end in anything other than grief, we've had enough trouble trying to reconcile the various Christian based faiths let alone invite another into the fold.

Integrate? Why integrate? Surely "tolerate" is the key word.
