Christianity, Islam, Science, Technology, & Humanitarianism

Christianity always has been, & still is, the enemy of science & technology. It was only through the West's Renaissance & Enlightenment (both of which were kick-started & heavily influenced by knowledge flowing from the Islamic world at the time), both of which moved Western culture away from, & ultimately marginalized, Christian dogma, that the West finally embraced science & technology. Yet even now, Christians try to block almost every scientific & technological advance, & even try to deny & ignore scientifically-established facts!


Islam has always encouraged science & technology. There are innumerable examples of spectacular engineering & technological feats by Muslims, from both pre-colonial & post-colonial times. It was only during the hundreds of years of European/Christian colonialism that Muslims were prevented from pursuing science & technology.

Humanitarianism is intrinsic to Islam, & hundreds of millions benefit from Islamic humanitarian projects & groups.

The vast majority of terrorism in the world is sponsored by & perpetrated by agents of the governments of the major powers, not by Muslims, & a much larger proportion of Christian & Jewish preachers preach hatred & even genocide against Muslims than the other way round - but Christians don't notice, ignore, or even approve, of the former.

Christians' ignorance, bigotry & xenophobia proves that Christianity still discourages & blocks education & knowledge.


The Qur'an instructs Muslims to respect Christians, Christianity & their symbols (the same goes for Jews, Judaism & their symbols, too).  As OWS & the Occupy Movement was inspired by, & modeled on, Egyptian Muslims' Tahrir Square-based revolution, it's not surprising that many Muslims support OWS & Occupy.

Also, the Qur'an instructs Muslims to oppose warmongering; spreading hatred & division among people; fraud, usury & deceit; prodigality, greed & selfishness; oppression; treachery; & other evildoing - all traits that are endemic in the 1% - so, again, it shouldn't be surprising that Muslims support OWS & Occupy.
