Last few decades? It’s ALWAYS been that way. Try 1400+ years of death and destruction. And ill let you guys figure out what happened 1400 years ago...

Ahhh... Nothing is more refreshing than a dose of freshly brewed anti-Arab vitriol from our resident expert in all things anti-Arabic, Mr.Darth Skippy.

Try history books or Wikipedia, you maybe surprised. You have probably not heard about Avicenna, who some people call the father of modern medicine. Or forgot that what we use is called "Arabic" system of numbers. Heck, even the word "alcohol" is Arabic. I don't know about you, but I like alcohol. Cheers, my Arabic friends!

Baghdad was a center of learning until destroyed by the Mongols -- this is considered a huge blow to the Arabic civilization as a whole.

As for Darth Skippy, I hope he enjoys his drink which includes a think syrup of hatred with a liberal amont of ignorance.
