This heritage belongs to all human races that triumphed under the Islamic union & will never be the copy right of any ethnic group.

Islam is undisputedly the greatest ideology presented to the whole mankind as it is the ONLY doctrine/religion that broke all the boundaries between ethnic groups. No nationalistic call has ever been supported by Islam.

We dont care about the current media in projecting the distorted version of Islam since Christianity & Judaism went through the same tunnel.

@Xtremeownage Wrong Islam dominated from about 750-1100, a period of about 350yrs, by 1200 the Islamic caliphate was lying in ruins after the Mongols destroyed Baghdad and had spent the last 200yrs in mortal combat with wave after wave of Crusader armies entering Islamic territory at will.

Then for 200yrs the Mongols ruled the world with the largest empire yet known, by the 1400's Portugal and Spain start conquering global empires and European dominance continues to this day; 600+yrs.

@mmoorrooccoo Western civilization is based upon ancient Greece and Rome, not Islam. Your Islamic "golden age" were you ended by retarding Indian mathematics and Greek philosophy was not original but informed mostly by ancient Persian, Greco-Roman and Indian culture. Even Islam is a cheap rip off of Judaism and parts of Christianity fused with arab paganism.

Classical Western art is superior, the Laocoon, the sculptures on the pediments of the Acropolis, the friezes depicting the battle beween the Lapiths and Centaurs surpass anything Islamic culture ever produced or could ever produce.

The same thing with the renaissance, Michelangelo's David is worth more than the whole of Islamic art combined in terms of beauty and perfection.

@Firewall2153 But iv read parts of the quaran and the final sermon and its worse than is portraid in the media! Much worse infact, the way it tells muslims to deal with non muslims and even their own muslim women is literaly disgusting! Women are not objects of man and should be treated with respect as equals!

[boozag123]

@djcarlwalker nah, that part u just made up :)

[djcarlwalker]

My wife taught Art at a school in the UK with a 90% Muslim intake- but is now in hiding in fear for her life.

Last year she instructed a class to draw pictures of “an elderly Arab man”. She then sent these away to a right-wing website where they were published on a page titled “Images of the Prophet Mohammed”.

She was hoping to make a point about perception being connected to context, but merely enraged the local community & Mullahs, who pronounced a ‘fatwa’ that she should be killed.
