Let us (westerners) start some soul-searching.
Reader comment on item: Why Shariah Must Be Opposed
Submitted by AbdulKadir Syed (Canada), Oct 7, 2009 at 00:08
Human recorded history's longest and largest Golden Age(6-8 centuries in a row) happened when Shariah was mostly implemented. Muslims are not saying that. Renaissance of Islamic civilisation happened from the day one of Islamic civilisation for 6-8 centuries.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ages
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age (First Longest and largest golden age)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_age_of_India (Second Longest and largest golden age)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Muslim_scientists_and_engineers
I am one of the proud owners of both heritages. Indian born Canadian Muslim.
Torture your brain to know about the truth of shariah with Wikipedia.
Yes, we are in scientific age of Western civilization. But for any serious historian, Golden age did not even start for western civilization we are living in.
Let us(westerners) start some soul-searching.
Thanx
AbdulKadir Syed
