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.
I hate it when anyone of any religion makes arguments like this.
Caring isn't a patent owned by one religion. Our species evolved to socialize and caring is an expression of empathy which creates bonds within the family and society.
And for that matter, our species ability to be cruel to each other, is also not a patent owned by one religion. Unfortunately humas fight and conflicts happen. Religion isn't a cure for that.
Our species behaviors are not relegated by old books or fictional super natural beings. Our species behaviors, good or bad, are a result of our evolution.
There are good people in every religion in the world, and bad people in every religion in the world. There is not one nation, friend or foe alike that does not have hospitals and prisons.
Religion does not automatically make one good. Actions are in the individual, and it is still up to us how we interact with each other. There is nobody upstairs helping humanity. We are the only ones who can help each other.
