Early Islam and healthcare

[Abaddon_ire]

The Muslim Umma -nation- gave healthcare and supported the families of the sick and the crazy:

Muslims knew hospitals from a very early time. This carries a shocking answer to the false lies that says early Muslims were savages; matter in fact the world they built is very close to our modern day world.

By borrowing the luxeries that existed for the royals in Rome and Persia; Muslims made them available for everybody.
They even gave salaries to the families of the sick.

Compare between a crusader living in the darkness and a Muslim living in Baghdad in 700 ad.
No wonder the crusaders ate the flesh of Muslims in the crusades.

While the Muslim world didn't have the first hospitals, they certainly had the best ones.  This is pretty common knowledge.

Not sure what the quality of Muslim hospitals had to do with crusaders eating Muslims, though.

He refers to some seiges where the crusaders had little resort but to resort to cannabilism. While this did happen, a myth has spawned from the unfortunate event that claims christians eat muslims as a matter of course. This is, of course false. The christians would have eaten anything they could lay hands upon. The Siege of Maa'rat, for example.
