So being conquered centuries ago by Arabs who forced foreign concepts onto the Persians had nothing to do with it?
I don't buy that. And yes, they are late.... very late, and still very far behind. How is there even a competition between the two??

You're right. A few people converting to Islam automatically proves it is a great religion. Therefore, I should welcome it with open arms. Meanwhile, I should ignore all other evidence that defames Islam.

You mean, "Islamophobic", not "Islamic phobic". And please explain how the hell I am doing that. Unless I was drunk and don't remember, I could have sworn I never, at any point, called any ethnic group inferior, nor did I say that just because someone is of a certain background, they are inferior. All I did was point out the obvious: Islamic nations are barbaric in comparison to Western nations, in the current day. Ah yes, no alcohol on my desk--only Diet Coke.
It sounds to me like you are just trying to take a cheapshot and jump atop the moral high ground, so you do not have to take the time to properly debate me.

Indeed. However, Westerners cannot do that for them. They must go through progressive revolutions and changes, just as we have. Until then, we cannot ignore what Islam has done, and what it is still doing.
