A World Without Islam
Just came across this on Yahoo. Book by Graham Fuller on what is it that really ticks of Muslims against the West.
Here's a short clip (7 minutes) of Fuller explaining his book and study.

Interesting view by a former CIA dude.
Edit - forgot to add "Start the debate"

Undoubtedly a fatwa will be issued against the author.

Yes I watched the clip.
Unfortunately, rationality never gets in the way of a good fatwa.
Ask the artist formerly known as Molly Norris.
Graham Fuller has written a book called "A World Without Islam." That's all the hook they need.

It's not a very interesting or deep premise though. It's basically just: "people will be people, war will always happen, we'd just find something else to fight over, they just hate us occupying their countries, etc." even if Islam didn't exist.

religion, albeit distasteful to me was a natural evolutionary "tool" of our species. Without it I don't think we would have been as successful as we were

I don't figure it, I just agree with it. A dude with a degree a lot smarter than me did a lecture on it and it was very compelling. Ill post the link when I find it

i think religion has held back human advancement more than it has helped. look at how far advanced the Romans were at their height, compared to the dark ages that followed after Christianity was born. you had the Roman church imprisoning Galileo for trying to advance scientific thinking, and calling Charles Darwin a heretic. and today you have the church telling an AIDS plagued Africa to not use condoms, fighting against stem cell research, and schools in America actually debating on whether to teach creationism over evolution
every religion in the world seems focused on tradition, faith in old beliefs, and very hesitant to change. that flies in the face of advancement

I agree, hardly breakthrough.
I guess it would be if you were only looking through a one way lens.

The best part of that chart is how it assumes all other religions and cultures didnt exist. What was up with Asia and the Muslims at this time?
