I was thinking about this the other day, what makes them so inferior to other cultures? And a few things struck me:
Art.
Every other culture in the world, from Neanderthals to the French have a staggering history of artist achievement.
Islam - nothing but squiggles and etch-a-sketch drawings.
Architecture,
OK coming from the UK where we have examples of every style from the last 1000 years we take this for granted, but every other country has a wide range of styles they have developed over the years, even America with only a hundred years of construction has created many different concepts.
Islam - cut and paste domes and arches, add gilding and marble - repeat.
I suspect they are embarrassed at their lack of development and made a big show of buying in designs to build Dubai (and still only ended up with an embarrassing Legoland in the desert)
Food,
What do muslims eat? Eggs, dates and fish from what I can tell, that probably explains the complete lack of cookery books. A lot of people identify with a culture through a love of its food (think France), but sorry I'm not that fussed about eggs, dates and fish,
edit: sorry, forgot lamb.
Music:
This is about the only thing teenagers care about for at least five years, and pretty much defines American and British cultures.
What has islam ever done? Nothing from what I can tell.
Science:
41 Muslim countries with about 20% of the world's total population generate less than 5% of its science.
Ever since 1200AD, muslim countries have been reliant on the West for access to scientific progress, a situation created mostly by its own religious intolerance, being more concerned with what women wear than Quantum Physics.
In fact if they sent less time chanting and more time reading then they might get somewhere.
As with most countries, intelligent educated people do not want to live in the stone age surrounded by beardy nutjobs making bombs, so they migrate to more tolerant states.
Politics.
Every advanced country has some form of democracy, every islamic country still clings to the same corrupt variations of theocratic dictatorships
Religion.
Lots of people like religion, gives them something to reflect on. Some religions really add something to a culture, like the Amish and Buddhism, even people who don't follow it find them interesting.
But Islam sucks. No bacon, no music, no dancing, no sex, no alcohol? No wonder Vladimir the Great told them to get stuffed, you couldn't get a more repressively prescriptive ideology. Not even muslims like it, sheikhs regularly visit London to drink and fornicate away from other muslims seeing them.
Really Islam is a destroyer of culture
they hate other peoples (especially American) and make a pitifully meagre attempt at their own. You can't help but feel that they really hate themselves and everything enjoyable in life. Depressed people on suicide watch have a greater appreciation of life then these people.
There are cultures in the Amazon rainforest where people have bones in their noses and wear gourds on their penis that are more interesting culturally. David Attenborough has spent more documentary time on the anus of a tree frog than he found to talk about anything in the middle east.
They are a sad, poor excuse for a culture and have effectively wasted everything the world has handed to them, in the name of some backwards belief
This Liberal idea that they can come to the UK (or any other country) and "enrich" us all with their "wonderful culture" is such utter BS that I lack the words to express my contempt of its idiocy.
