		<description><![CDATA[I think that it is because Islam requires all Muslims to convert, subdue or kill non-Muslims, so when Muslims attack non-Muslims they are doing  what Allah commands them to do. When the non-Muslims defend themselves, they are going against Allah&#039;s wishes. To a Muslim, the only good non-Muslim is one who submits or dies. How can you be at fault when you are only doing what Allah commands?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I failed to mention that the high degree of respect for Averroes and Avicenna comes from Europeans, not from Arabs/Muslims.  

I also agree with your last contention.  The Muslims had a 500-year advantage over the Europeans by virtue of having taken Constantinople and the Ottoman and its riches in learned documents from Greece, and whatever advances they arguably made over that time period was outstripped within a century (the mid-16th Century to the mid-17th Century) by Europeans.  Europeans also made great advances after the &quot;re-discovery&quot; of Aristotle and some of the works of Plato in Toledo after the Reconquista.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t forget them. After all, the number of &quot;moslem rationalists&quot; is so small, in stark contrast to multitude of Christian ones, so it is not a problem. Besides, they have never been regarded very highly within Islam itself. 

True, Averroes was a freethinker, but he was ignored in the Islamic world, and whatever effect he had was in the Christian world. I don&#039;t think Avicenna was a free thinker, but even if he were that doesn&#039;t change the fact of dearth of free thinkers under Islam.

The fact is that Islam have produced very little of intellectual contribution before the death of Ibn Khaldun some 600 years ago and absolutely nothing since then.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 640s the Muslims under Caliph Omar conquered Egypt.  When they took Alexandria, one of his captains came to Omar and asked him if they should save the books in the library at Alexandria, or burn them.  Omar replied that if those books contained things that are consistent with the teachings of the Koran, the Muslims had the Koran and the books were unnecessary; if the books contained things that contradicted the Koran, they were blasphemous and should be destroyed.  &quot;Therefore, burn them.&quot;

So much for Islamic respect for preserving learned discourse from outside the ummah.]]></description>
