I find it funny that you post about the European feudalism, but fail to mention that the Arabs/muslims were just as feudal during that time...yet you claim they had a golden age.
Progress towards *peaceful co-existence* is slowed by warring? I don't see it.
Quote:Well, they did..and thats because the prevailing religious authorities found nothing wrong with scientific though in the Arab world. The Europeans Christian leaders, however, looked upon science as a threat of a return to the pagan ways of the old Roman empire, and therefore tried to ban it as much as possible.
do a bit more research the next time you post on the middle ages.
You confuse me. I say 'the arabs were also religious, but they had a golden age', and you say 'I disagree, the arabs were also religious, but they had a golden age'... are you high today?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
