RE: German journalist getting a criminal court sentence for writing about historical facts
Islam It was a religion of civilization which produced a lot of science that helped Europe to rise and advance.
Why does everyone deny this?
We can search for the history of Andalusia and read about Jaber Bin Hayyan and Ibn Sina and Ibn al-Haytham
... etc, these are the scientists who took out Europe from the injustices of ignorance and the church.
I in no way deny this. I am the first to admit that in the Medieval Times it was Islam, not Christianity that embraced respect for knowledge and tolerance (granted, not everywhere, but still).
However, it must be noted that it was also the time when Islam went impure. Sadly, ISIS and the sort of Islam they are spreading is Quranic literalism. And that is the sort of thing Muslims need to stop, because they are best positioned to do so - plus, they have the highest stake in it.
I understand your opinion well
The problem now is not in Islam. The problem is in the Muslims. Now, many terrorist groups use Islam to obtain political gain or personal interests.
I am an Arab and a Muslim I live in Algeria and I lived a very bad childhood because of the civil war. That made me know the truth about this world.
I am personally against ISIS and most Muslims against the atrocities carried out by this criminal group.
Now we have a more profound problem than this. We have a problem of hate. When anyone watches innocent people who are killed by the United States. Inevitably he will feel hatred against the United States and will inevitably try to retaliate. And he will find that those groups are helping him to retaliate.
For me this is a mistake because we must fight to stop the hatred in the world. When we stop the hatred, no one can think of revenge and killing innocents.
That's just my personal opinion. Thank you again. Dear @borepstein
