So, you ask me for evidence of my claims that the Islamic community has not contributed to the development of any useful innovation that we currently enjoy. Well, why did you do that? How about this, why don't you try and point to even one single innovation yourself! Believe me, you would find it much more difficult to do so, than I would in listing the fact that the internet, the development of robotics, the internal combustion engine, the development of cures for various diseases, container shipping, air conditioning, trucking, education, building construction, reduction of air pollution, the development of solar and other forms of alternative power, safe mining techniques and another 100,000,000 such innovations have all come out of the non Islamic community, especially the West. How about this, where did Yahoo, Google Cisco Systems, Adobe, You Tube, Microsoft, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Yamaha, Mannesmahn, Vodaphone, Airbus, Hyundai, Disney, Ferrari, BMW, Volkswagen Mercedes Benz, Pfizer, SamSung, Hutchison Whampoa, AT&T, BBC, etc develop? Which of those companies developed in a Muslim country? Again, name just one useful world wide, world-class innovation to have been produced by a Muslim country! Man, like I said, you do sound very well educated and please understand, I do support your effort to tell us that Islam is not all what most of the current portrayers appear to make it. Yes, I do understand all of that, but you do need to be honest, and be less accusatory of the genuine critics of your religion. It does constitute a very serious threat to al of us. Here in America, especially, since 9/11, there are widespread fears of Muslims, and Islam. I for one, really to believe that Islam is way too concerned with use violence as a means to impose its will on others. What with the utterances of the Iranian president vis- a Vis Israel, as well as the past conduct of Hezbollah, and other such groups. One more thing, female genital mutilation is ONLY one of the many backward practices of Islam, so you do have your cut out for you in trying to reverse the correct perception of the rest of us about the body of ideas of this religion. Ah, but there is more yet, you assert that climatological reasons might possibly have caused some people to have developed this most abhorrent practice. But, alas how come the very same practice did not develop among non-Muslim peoples with similar concerns of as you put it 'hyper sexuality'. Again, I am happy that you are speaking out, but as you can see by the unusually high number of negative reactions to your initial posting, you are pretty much isolated and indeed wrong ion this one!

despicable act to speak up right here on Ynet.... or forever hold your tongue. Mutilation of body parts, blowing up of body parts have no place in today's society, That is of cos if you are living in the dark ages. Suicide bombers are basically human sacrifice to God practised by devil worshippers. Opps, out of topic

As one of my fields of interest is the Jewish contribution to the world i know very much of this . What is the Jewish contribution to Mecedes Benz ? Only the name Mercedes . She was the daughter of a big customer [ +20 cars or so ] and he wanted her name on his cars . That's it . There are probably more errors in your TB , no importance . The Jewish contribution to the world is "out" of proportion to the percentage of Jews . At least 17 % of all the Nobel prize recipients were [ or are still ] Jews .

Male circumcision also mutilation ? You want to make me laugh ? First of all it's healthy , it's easier to wash . Some Christians do it even for those reasons . There is another plus point , girls like it to have a circumcised partner . In France girls circumcision is punishable ,

"I can defend each and every statement the idiot creator of the website u sent has made. And i am ready to do so." SO DO IT ALREADY!! http://www.faithfreedom.org/ has a standing offer to all cumers. He will remove his website if anyone can pruve him wrong!! Ifr u culd pruve him wrong. What a victory moslims would get. So, hop to it huney.

Hi Charles, my posting was very clearly , not evenly remotely, addressing, any concern about the Jews, whom I believe, just like you said have done far more than their fair share in terms of improving life for human kind! I was merely challenging a previous poster to provide evidence that Isam has produced any innovative ideas outside of Jihad! As far as I know you and I are on the same side! Pay attention man!

That we are on the same side is sure . I , when i write something , i try to be as accurate as possible . And if someone writes something , and most of all , when i agree with , there have not to be errors . Why ? opponents will look at this error to demolish you . If i see an error in an enemy's writing i jump on it . [ sorry English is not my mother tongue , French and Dutch are ]
