WOOW, maybe you mean “terrorists” and they come with many titles! Love the responses below…had to repost!
Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we?
Without Muslims you wouldn’t have:
- Coffee
Cameras
Experimental Physics
Chess
Soap
Shampoo
Perfume/spirits
Irrigation
Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons
Combination locks
Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)
Surgical instruments
Anesthesia
Windmill
Treatment of Cowpox
Fountain pen
Numbering system
Algebra/Trigonometry
Modern Cryptology
3 course meal (soup, meat/fish, fruit/nuts)
Crystal glasses
Carpets
Checks
Gardens used for beauty and meditation instead of for herbs and kitchen.
- University
- Optics
- Music
- Toothbrush
- Hospitals
- Bathing
- Quilting
- Mariner’s Compass
- Soft drinks
- Pendulum
- Braille
- Cosmetics
- Plastic surgery
- Calligraphy
- Manufacturing of paper and cloth
It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on………..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

Forever reblog.
This is so brilliant that the only thing I can add is a semi-useless fact:
If you ever study astronomy, you’ll notice that many stars begin with the letters “Al.” As in Aldebaran, Algol, Albireo, Alkaid, Alphecca, Algenib, Alpheratz…I could go on. Why? Because it’s an Arabic prefix. While Europe was languishing in the dark ages, Muslim astronomers were mapping the skies and giving the stars names.
And of course, a lot of the accumulated “western” knowledge of the classical age is only around because it was preserved by Muslims.
Imagine a world without asshole bigots and terrorism.
Oh god, this is a breath of fresh air compared to my house. My dad thinks there’s no such thing as Islamophobia because “phobias have to be irrational”.
Reblogging this again.
man I sure do love ignorant racist shit like this proven wrong.
I looove you tumblr.
That fact dump was so good I think I came.
Also I love how racists always conveniently leave out the fact that there were Muslims who lived in NYC and worked in the world trade center, and were killed just the same by those attacks.
THIS.
I’d like to imagine a world without racists/Islamophobes.

Please stop telling me I’m pretty Please stop telling me I’m fat
Please stop telling me I’m crazy Just cause I love every cat
Please stop calling me a spinster Just cause I wont lie with you
I know you’d be calling me a whore If I went home with you
Don’t tell me I need protecting Don’t say I need to be saved
Don’t tell me I’m PMSing If your mindless ignorance sends me into a rage.
If I’m a liberated equal Just as accomplished as a man
Just as worthwhile and smart and kind and good and rational Why won’t you represent me as I am?
Please stop telling me I’m lonely Cause I’ve never found a man
Who doesn’t kneel before me Or try to keep me down
Don’t try to put my value In the value of my face
Standing with your dollybirds Will never be my place
Don’t assume I have a special Bond with every other woman,
That I don’t get what you’re saying Or understand just what you’re doing
Don’t tell me it’s fine Cause I can fall back on my looks
I’d rather leave my husband Than ever leave my books
If I’m a liberated equal Just as accomplished as a man
Just as worthwhile and smart and kind and good and rational Why won’t you represent me as I am?
The awful thing about the media the thing that makes me really pissed
Is there are millions of real women out there But they’re writing about dolls when they should focus more on us.
If I’m a liberated equal Just as accomplished as a man
Just as worthwhile and smart and kind and good and rational Why won’t you represent me as I am?Feminist Music? Yes, please. I like this lady and her song.
As 2011 comes to an end, we may be looking back and either thinking, “I accomplished everything I set out to do plus some.” or ” Man, I really thought I’d be in another place right now.” Well, look on the bright side….YOU MADE IT! And though it is always good to reflect on where you have come from, every second is a chance to take a new step in the direction you want to go.
Going into 2012, forget about New Year’s resolutions and create NEW YEAR’S COMMITMENTS. While a New Year’s resolution is often a vaguely defined promise involving a character trait or behavioral change, usually w/ NO plan of action, a New Year’s Commitment often involves a very specific plan or a course of action, such as to achieve a certain position at work, or to start up a business.
- Don’t say your gonna get in a gym and lose weight. If you’re a size 16, go out and buy and size 10 or 12 “TO DIE FOR” dress, set a date or plan an occassion, hang it up and say, “I AM GOING ROCK THIS.” COMMIT to it.
- You don’t like your job—Today, pull out your resume, dress it up for you dream job, and COMMIT to sending it out to atleast 1-3 employers a day,o or week.
- Don’t just say you need to save…Set a financial goal/date, open a savings account TODAY, set an amount and start a direct transfer to take that money out of your checking account and deposited into your savings account. COMMIT
- Do you want to get more involved in church. Here’s a good idea…right now, take out your cell phone, set your alarm clock for 8:00 am 1/1/2012, and WAKE YOUR BUTT UP! ;-) COMMIT
Resolutions are ideas for what you know you need, or would like to do. COMMITMENTS are plans to Get It Done!
SAY it in your head, WRITE it down, & MAKE it law!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN 2012!

Inspirational Story: A father’s Love
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“RICK AND DICK HOYT STORY”“A son asked his father, “Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?” The father who despite having a heart condition, said, “Yes”. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying, “Yes” to his son’s request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, ‘Dad, let us join the Ironman together; to which his father said, “Yes”, too. For those who don’t know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race consists of three endurance events of a 2.4 miles (3.86 kilometers) ocean swim followed by a 112 miles (180.2 kilometers) bike ride and ending with a 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together. Based on the TV interview of Dick and Rick Hoyt, Dick, the father explained that Rick while still in his mother’s womb, the umbilical chord was wrapped around his neck cutting off oxygen to the brain. And when Rick was born, the doctor who was looking after Rick told Dick and his wife that Rick would never be able to walk nor talk all his life that it would be best that they put him away. But the Hoyts would not be willing to do such a thing and decided to bring him home instead and decided likewise to treat him just like anyone normal kid. So that when the family went for a swim, Rick went with them and so on and so forth. ”
