Sure. Call me a fucking prick if it helps you to express your rage, I don't mind, you cretinous arsehole. As long you don't advocate violence or totalitarianism, then fine, calling me names doesn't hurt anyone. Admittedly, my humour is often fairly robust and not to everybody's liking, and even non-existent to some, but that's me I guess. We can't all be the same. Sometimes it helps me express my rage at the mind boggling insanity that some people advocate in the name of fundamental cultism and religion. So you see, I can understand you calling me a fucking prick, you idiotic nonce. My main aim is to mock and poke fun at gullible fundamental cultists and deluded twits like Gabriel Ibn Yus.

Could everybody maybe stop being hateful? Not issuing blanket condemnations of religious groups with fundie sounding insults, and not recommending involuntary sexual experiences for other posters, even when they spew bile? Just a thought.

Stupid denial man is in stupid denial. Europe looked to the Dar al-Islam as a tempting, luxurious, intellectually vibrant doctrinal threat. Things have changed, but the communities are still at odds. A culture of fear and resentment has been nurtured in certain circles. Fundamentalists and insufficiently clever people trying to keep up without losing identity have tended to do away with the cultural-legal structure that kept the faith a force for civilization. Well, that sucks all around.

Now let's not be xenophobic asshats.

...says the one posting via a 20th Century invention by a British Unitarian Universalist (Tim Berners-Lee), using something created by a British Atheist homosexual (Alan Turing). Based on that invented by the Mayan civilisation: '0' - Zero, thus the basis of Binary Code, thus computing, and the WWW.

Sure, Islam gave us Algebra, early medical procedures, early astronomy, writing systems etc. Computers? Not so much. And certainly not promoted by the Taliban in Afghanisatan, that's for sure.

...you were saying, Ibn Yus?

Funny thing is that in the past, it were the Muslim states that were the forefront of scientific study, having preserved the knowledge of the Greeks and Romans while the Europeans were busy killing each other over who were the real Christians.

The thing also is that the Muslims from that time would be horrified to see what fundamentalism did to them.

Lets not also forget that some monks and nuns who had contributed their lives to being celibate and living in convents (most likely of the Catholic-Christian persuasion) also helped to keep some form of knowledge alive in their attempts to preserve libraries and written scrolls of information for the world in their possession so that when everyone stopped fighting and killing eachother people could at least attempt to go back to being sane and educated. Although it was he said-she said passed down by scribes writing over the centuries kind of stuff so theres no telling just how accurate that information really was in their libraries. But we can still give them a B for effort. :P

Reading that particular page, the next post by Gabby here definitely nominates him for the 'Having Your Cake And Eating It' award:

"So what. What are you trying to do? Justify to me why I should be a slave for stupid technology?

First of all, your grandmother and my grandmother did not have these things and they managed just fine."

Gabby's grandmother probably underwent female circumcision. My grandmother didn't.

My grandmother didn't have a computer. And you don't eh, Gabby; what, you're posting on that forum via praying to Mecca, or what?! [/Fridge Logic]

"Is this dickhead actually claiming they walked on the moon, treated cancer, surfed the web, etc, centuries ago?"

(*Switches to Doug Piranha mode*):

Of course. How did you think that rock found it's way to the Kaaba in Mecca? It was Noor Allah-strong & Bismallah Al-drin who, via the NASSER flying carpet Al-pollo 11(69 AD), went to the moon, and was personally presented with such by Princess Luna, who loudly declared (in the 'Canterlot Voice') that 'The Fun has been Doubled!'
