Right.
Quote: who strangely viewed attacks and slave raiding against their coasts as not peaceful.
Violence of one country against another is generally viewed as not peaceful. What I've been talking about is how it's not only Muslims who are guilty of this.

The law of supply and demand.
Quote:The OP thinks this plague is due to our not accepting this Islamic golden age and the 'glorious' Ottoman Empire as the dominant world power.
Is that what he thinks, really? He has recently said that powerful governments generally don't follow real Islamic principles. Has he argued that the Ottoman Empire was good? Please provide a direct quotation or link.
He seems to be saying that all humanity is pretty bad, not only non-Muslims. But he can clarify if he wants.
Quote:Weren't you paying attention?
Earlier you asserted that there is something unique about the financial practices of governments and banks in majority-Muslim countries that prevents them from being economically successful. As the only example you offered, you said that they can't charge or pay interest. Now that assertion has been disproved. Your own link earlier today disproved it, because it said that banks which pretend to be Sharia-compliant are actually charging interest.
I was paying attention enough to see that. I know that on the Internet nobody says, "oops I was wrong," but that was a pretty clear example.
Now you have changed the subject to say that Muslim countries in history have been as violent and aggressive as non-Muslim countries. As far as I can see, this supports the OP's feeling that people have a tendency to behave badly.
