well its more accurate than calling people a racist or a paedo, or both. eh Dan ?

why not go the whole hog and accuse us of not sorting our garbage for recycling ?

I love this reason and your paragraph. England wasn’t developed then. It was still developing and those cultures had a hand in the development of the western world. England is now developed and you’re comparing hundreds of men on dinghies to the historical advancements in the western world brought about by countries ahead of us. Brilliant. Not only that but you give us this. ‘’ These invasions generally tend to be good for the invader and poor for the current inhabitants.’’ That applies to now so well done. And I really don’t think we’re struggling with knowledge and ability like we were before the ‘Romans, Dans, Saxons, Angles, Normans’ formed who we are and how we live today, and I don’t think we want or need the Islamic world to.

Calling your understanding basic is the most accurate thing you’ve ever posted on here.

Errrr....what a load of revisionist nonsense.

Mathematics was well on its way before Islam....and Physics was an unnamed part of the natural sciences within the same study.

Nothing would have stopped its progression, outside of overtly strict religion....which by the way is what happened in Islamic countries.

You know absolutely nothing about The Roman Empire beyond watching Gladiator.

The relationship between refugee Goths and the eventual fall of the Empire is in just about every reference you can search.
It is well known that Rome was already suffering from poor leadership and the influx of outside influences.

You are embarrassing yourself.

I think that the problem you are having is that you are just using the internet.
If you want to have a more complete understanding of a subject it will require some deeper and broader reading. I can suggest a reading list.
