And yo, Salah Ali, it was the "Pig Eating", MONGOLS that collapsed your mighty Islamic Caliphate in the early 13th century. Interesting on how your ... Arabian/Persian propagandists ignore that historical fact.

After that came, " Tamerlane", so the fact remains that is WAS NOT the Western Judeo - Christian world that destoyed your "Golden Age", but rather pagan invaders from the East. Perhaps Osama, and others in your part of the world should take up history instead of Islamic studies when they go to school. Or for that matter something else that might benefit the rest of humanity. So sad, over a billion people only share about half a dozen, "Nobel Prizes", in that area of the world. Tiny little Israel has 8, more than Persia, and the Arabs put together. And the horrible USA has over 300 !!!!!!!
