Boris Johnson has been strongly criticised for arguing Islam has caused the Muslim world to be “literally centuries behind” the west, in an essay unearthed by the Guardian.
In later years, Boris started praising classical Islamic scholars like Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd (calling him a forefather of secularism), and Ibn Khaldun (citing him as an economic influence). It could be that Boris was just ignorant back in 2007. Or that he keeps changing his tune.
Muslims are behind because you’ve bombed the hell out of there countries 🤷🏽♂️
The miss understanding of islam not the islam
I wonder if he had said the same about Israel and Jews (Judaism). I don’t think so he could ever hold a public office, let alone becoming the PM.
I thought this was a widely held belief, and why the Arab culture that led the medieval world, especially in Science, ended up so far behind the West.
Boris Johnson doesn’t know anything about “Islam”, end of argument.
Well they are in the darkages are they not and how their women put up with their oppression is puzzling?
Name me one country where democracy, capitalism and freedom of thought have thrived under Islam?
Boris claims a lot of things. No one cares about those either.
Come back Christopher Hitchens! 🤦🏻♂️
Is there any Christianity left in the west or you people like to be called Christians
Why not start helping Islamic world by stop bombing middles eastern countries ?
Now BBC should make a panaroma on Islamophobia in conservatives.
During the Dark Ages, the Islamic empire carried the torch of astronomical discovery.
انت تاجر الارهابيين يا مجرم
يالله ترمب من امريكا وذا الزق من بريطانيا 😅
For Boris
BorisJohnson when will the US UK & Australia be held accountable for the war on lies in Iraq Afghanistan Libya & let’s not forget Vietnam - regime change in many other countries - the world is a changing & empires fall - how much blood do the US UK have on their hands ?
It was the British use of divide and conquer that put Muslims behind example - Africa - Saudi Arabia - Palestine - Pakistan...... supporting dictators - wars on lies - while Islam bought forward Algebra Alchemy philosophy Astronomy BorisJohnson
Swap out Islam for Christianity and you're spot on Boris.
this bastard tried to remove all this shit he said from the 00s off the Internet but he missed a spot here
Fails history, algebra and chemistry all at the same time.
Yeah, caused the dark ages, and enslaved 140 million blacks and 250 million Hindus, cut off all trades and attacked the west for 460 years, with hundreds of attacks until the Christians decided to fight back in the crusades.
what is this trump wannabee even talking about
Do politicians actually read anything?
So this is the guy who will be our PM. Tell me it is a dream/ I mean a nightmare!
Someone with no knowledge of a subject making insulting statements about it. When do we start calling this racism like Donald 'send her back' Trump?
Muslims are the reason why the world still has access to preserved Greek and Roman works. When you all were in the Dark Ages, Islamic civilisation was far more progressive. European imperialism still continues to repress Muslims today.
Europeans are not progressive and they are just good at stealing credit from other civilisations. Islamic civilisation was far more progressive and forward than Europeans in the Middle Ages.
apparently in the Koran there is thing about studying books, that helpedt lead to the golden age of islam, until one leader decided only the Koran was the book to study... islam wasn't the problem, religious antiintelectualistic extremism was~ *cough* usa *cough*
That haircut is centuries behind dawg
ah yes... the inquisition was so advanced and progressive....
Someone became friends with Donald trump
Lmao you ever heard of Bagdad Bc that was the center of knowledge before Europe could even have a human right to anything lol
Britain2019 (Like US but at earlier stage)
This is what happens when you spaff during history lessons. I am assuming, of course, that history is taught at Eton
Don't they teach the 'Renaissance' in those posh schools? Boris
We can look back to the Muslim world and see the origins of the modern scientific method, the world's first physicist and the world's first chemist; advances in surgery and anatomy, the birth of geology and anthropology; not to mention remarkable feats of engineering.
You are right to Question Boris Johnson the next possible Prime Minister of his knowledge on one of main religions of the world,spanning 57 nations,1.9 billion Muslims whom he will interact as the leader of Britain.He has failed again in understanding why
Me Boris has once again failed in his lack of knowledge of other cultures, their history, their achievements in all sectors and how it still benefits societies today. First learn the reason. An unworthy person to lead a Country like Britain.
I think you mean white colonialism.
He really doesn’t have a clue about Islamic history. What history has he been reading, probably Mein kampf🤣🤣🤣
Didn't Muslims like invent algebra?
Religion has put the world centuries behind*
This statement is so incorrect and pathetic. He would have been better off just admitting that the west only advanced after conpletely disregarding christianity.
After studying the history of science, this is both hilarious and painful ignorance. Didn't pass my exams for BoJo to say shit like that
It wasn't Islam, that would be the Roman Catholic Church.
He doesn't like him because they invented the concept of zero, a perfect description of him.
And England has ben pillaging, looting and stealing those very Muslims countries (and other) for ages!
Embarrassing and horrifying in equal measure. Complete arsehole.
Someone is laughably ignorant of history.
Shameful for the UK! This ignorant will be prime minister in England!
Haha What a shame! The ignorant will govern England!
I think we can all count on that never being the case. 'Count' ...literally. 0, 1, 2 ,3 etc = Arabic
No the crusades did that
He's right
Maybe y’all should do some research before writing or claiming this BS!
BorisJohnson BackBoris
Islam: some ppl did something 700 years ago. So what have you done for me lately Islam ?
Where’s the lie?
Falsely claimed.
canadian here. So britain... where do we write you guys off? Also, could the smarter among you please let all the other Westminster democracies know how to avoid the kind of rot and self-immolation you guys are championing?
You mean how Islamic scientific developments were the basis of knowledge in the world, & how Muslim scholars stepped in to preserve scientific & philosophical heritage from destruction, & how the cultivation of science was by Muslim scholars, later absorbed by Western culture?
Et lui on a l’impression qui sort d’un cul de Mammouth.
Then why has he been supporting regimes that use the most extreme forms of Islam to keep total control over their citizens? Write an article about that.
Is that why he turned out to be such a dismal, regressive clown? No.
You can't even write 100 without Arabic numerals...
first, there was no Muslim world before Islam.... I think he mean Arab world, but that doesn't fit either because lots of Asians are muslim tooo......
Sorry algebra, lemons, coffee, mathematics, science the list is on and on but yet Islamic countries are centuries backwards, this is future PM, how bad must we get next thing Boris will deny slavery ever happened the daft prick 😂😂😂
نحن قومٌ أعزنا الله بالإسلام، فإن ابتغينا العزة بغيره أذلنا الله
Based on his inteligence he should be with dinosaurus
Boris Johnson as prime minister is about to put Britain in he Middle Ages
Hard to innovate when you're dodging bombs like they're raindrops, Bojo.
It’s ok...the tireless investigators from unbiased BBCPanorama already did extensive research round one of his mansions...they discovered he was a racist with deeply islamophobic views but it’s ok because he makes a lovely cup of tea.
well, watch this short film (12 min.), and see who the Islamic scientists are and what was their impact on today's sciences.. in fact, when we dispatched ourselves from Islam, we became so pitiful in science and modernity.. 🌷
Actually it was the Christian Church that did that. But anyway......
The Islamic golden period is the only exception to this generalisation. Islamic countries have stagnated/regressed since then.
Does he write a century as 'C years' or as '100 years'?
Listen, we kicked ass in multiple fields of human endeavour hundreds of years ago and now we’re just chilling until Jesus comes back. So if you aren’t Jesus, shut up.
Why guardian publish such racist comments?!
Religion and culture is what makes the world centuries behind. Why do you need to listen to and follow outdated rules to follow a religion?
Islamophobia toryislamophobia
Sorry matt Please correct your nonsense The Islam put Europe ahead when all Europe was in darkness And Muslims of this time put Islam behind because of their nonsense & your hypocrisy of petrodollar &dirty politics If you have time and will please check DNA of Princes Vitoria
Could it be having Islamic law and Islamic belief being combined is giving the impression to an athiest like myself that the Muslim religion has not kept up with 21st century ways?. I say this because religion is nolonger involved in making laws in the UK.
Thats a bit of a bugger, considering most science, medicines engineering etc was discovered in the dark ages muslim countries, by cave men i guess.
We all know that what put muslim countries behind is not Islam It was and still countries whom invaded those islamic countries and stolen its wealth and put instead criminals and murderers to roll those countries so they guarantee continuous running of wealth to their pockets
Says the man who got stuck on zipwire and spent £50 million of public money on a nonexistent bridge.
His claim is wrong, period.
some western countries like France took the soap for cheese we taught you to be clean is to smell good instead of feeling the shit
More racist 💩. Trying to out do Trump now.
Would that be the same Islam that kept the knowledge from Ancient Rome and Greece alive while Europe was in the dark ages thanks to Christian fundamentalism.
he doesn’t know what the hell he is on about.
Johnson joining Rees-Moggs ' People who think they're intellectuals because they're rich and went to posh schools club.' Whereas their books prove that you're better off reading the original Ladybird series.
Yes, and he is 100% right,
Shut up 🤐 do RESEARCH and find out about islam and the history behind Islam. What the f*** would you know about islam and its history. You standing up to be the nxt prime minister - Jokes.
The British & French raped, murdered, plundered & indoctrinated their way through entire nations. They incited war, installed tyrants, & now shift blame. The ramifications of colonialism & imperialism are responsible for the vast majority of the evil in 'the Muslim world' today
Think he needs to have a look at the history books and see what Islam actually helped discover. And to think this is gonna be our potential new PM. Sigh. 🤦🏽♂️
Another racist comment, Seems that Johnson will be Trump 2 , 👎
Projection
Boris lates developments is brain washing Ur kids to be homo / lesbian unfortunate.....
His great grandfather was muslim
No sucker, Islam didnt, when muslims followed Islam they ruled Spain, they taught the dirty white Europeans importance of taking showers, we came to this when we left Islam n our rulers started obeying u instead of Allah
He spelled colonialism and white greed wrong.
There is absolutely no shame in his claim. He and his imperial forefathers, have forced and looted 1/4 of the world during the last few Century. And that is millennial behind. Totally barbaric.
But you like our countrys thiefs
I think he forgets that It's Islam which indirectly caused renaissance and directly caused the amazing feats in Medicine, astrology, math, etc etc etc.
BorisJohnson is a self hating Turk. Islamophobia alive and well in the Tories.
aaaAaaaAAAAaaauuuhuhhh
ngl he is absolutely right. Not practicing Islam really put Muslim world centuries behind.
He was quoting Ibn Khaldun a few days ago. But he realized he needs more performative racism to win the hearts and minds of Tory membership.
They really try hard to create this Eurocentric believe that they were the founders of progression. While the Islamic golden ages produced great sciences in many fields that benefit the world today, Europe and its church were considering science as heretical.
So did Christianity.
'Unearthed by the Guardian' as in he wrote it and published it in a book?
As opposed to foreign invasions, becoming subjects of European empires, puppet regimes, being dragged into a world war, western coups, theft of resources...
If anyone on about dark ages
Ooooohhhh Boris the Muslim world understander has joined the chat!
First manned rocket flight.
He looks whacko. It's like empowering the Klu Klu Clan and funding them heavily to implement terror all over the world. Then blame it on Christianity. This bloke is sick. The Ottoman Empire was founded on Islam. He forgot he's history.
Cara de debi & Lóide, vai gritar em casa sozinho...kkkkkk
Don't like saying it but Boris is right. How many Noble prize winners are from countrys where islam is the religion.
What proof does he have,!!! Oh yes, there is that , oh, and that, and the other thing.
I don’t think Islam give him that ugly hair due. It looks like a sack of ball with unshaved hair for centuries. Which religion should we blame for his backward hair style 🧐🧐🧐
Methinks he needs to read the book 'The House of Wisdom'. By the early 7th Century, the Near East had reached a political, social, intellectual, and cultural dead end. The region dominated by two moribund empires. Both of whom existed only to fight the other.
It will be very difficult for educated muslims to disagree with him.
cette phrase ne veut absolument rien dire, l'islam a crée le monde musulman, sorry in french ....mais c'est du charabia
Wait and see what untrammelled Toryism will do for the UK. Remind me when the Union was established?
And? It’s historically accurate.
And they still go with their begging bowl to Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and many other rich Islamic countries
Is he wrong?
Boris Johnson is gaslighting on Islam Wholesale corruption of Muslim elites is the simplest explanation of what has put Muslim world 'centuries behind'
Islam helped bring Europe out of the dark ages. But clearly, that revival missed Boris.
Well at least he's right about something. This isn't even contentious; many Muslim intellects would agree.
And Boris intends to put the England even further back by ignoring reality or progress and instead blabbering on like a drunken warlord during the crusades.
Oil did.
coming from the guy who scared the crap out of innocent dog
We're so screwed with this dolt as PM.
It’s Boris's politics that put us back centuries!
People who talk badly about my religion you should educated your self
My religion have a meaningful of my life like if you hate religion don’t forced people to leave their religion ,I pray to god ,people forget that we don’t born by nothing ,god he is the one who made us ,and I’m so shame what people do by the name of my religion
Get educated man
Ironic, the ignorance of a man with Ottoman blood.
Does he mean like The Inquisition put the Christian world centuries behind?
'Algebra' you duckweed
Muslims are victims of criminal “Muslim” Kings and Presidents (“Royal Family”). There is not any shortage of wealth - tangible or otherwise, in most, if not all, Muslim countries. Sadly, for countless scores such wealth is strictly reserved for the Royal Family of criminals.
Everything Boris tells us is a fact, I tell you! Fact! Just like his despatches from Brussels and his Brexit campaign. All objective unbiased facts, readily lapped up by people who have already made up their mind about the subjects at hand. 😉
The Islamic world invented the denary number system, alcohol distillation and solvent extraction, advanced steel making, chemistry, new poetical forms, art, new musical instruments, all while Boris’ ancestors were scrabbling about in the dirt.
Wasn’t Christopher Hitchens critically praised and winning literary awards for basically arguing the same point?
Oh Boris Kemal, your Muslim granddaddy would be so proud of you. Probably throwing up in his grave at this right moment.
All religion puts people centuries behind. Next....
RacismDog
I see lots of good Muslims but think Islam prevents many from accepting liberal values and more worrying see extreme Islam on the rise in Europe especially amongst the young muslim communities
Well if capitalism is the model then economic development as so defined makes that an arguable claim.
Just as well there are so few muslims in the conservative party then
Just like Christianity, odd isn’t it.
About 20 centuries I would estimate.
He’s not wrong, is he? You can blame the Ottoman Turks for a lot of it, but Saudi Arabia and Yemen are hardly examples of progressive societies. Typical Graun hypocrites.
Faith and religion i dont think is the same..organised religion is weird..because whilst we are same we dont all react same..but faith is not evil.. and i dont think islamic faith is evil either..you to peel back the layers of man made additions to see the purity
I’m glad we can take the Grauniad with a pinch of salt
True. Used to be a leader in many sciences.
He really needs to crack open a history book.
Including his Turkish relatives ?
He understands nothing
Stop eating doughnuts!
“Johnson’s argument was described as disconcerting and problematic by Tell Mama, which monitors anti-Muslim hate”. It’s a statement of fact not an argument, based on an understanding of Islam rather than a misunderstanding.
He is right!
Good luck UK
And still does .
FACTS-
hang on a minute.... the 'Muslim' only exists because of Islam. what does this ignoramous thinks meant by Muslim!
Trump 2.0: another racist world leader
It's difficult to know what a man without principles really thinks
Dude is just mad he got some snow lookin ass hair bro
He's right.
Is it coincidence that the countries Boris refers to were pillaged by the British empire and other European powers?
Boris is correct. Until islam change their barbaric beliefs including violence against other faiths...🕉🕉🕉
Possibly troubling to hear, but historically accurate. The Muslim world was once a meeting place of science, medicine, art & philosophy. The ancient sciences of Greece were rediscovered through our contact with that civilisation. It’s all gone to shit now.
This's the problem when a writer became a political, his/her thoughts as a pundit, writer, journalist, thinker... sometimes are not themselves when becomes a political. Johnson was right as a journalist, that Islam has been doing that, but now must care about muslim citizens.
It doesn't help when the UK joins an illegal invasion of Iraq, assists in the destruction of Syria by allowing terrorists to flock in, participates in dismantling the Iran nuclear agreement, and so on ..
Your hairdo put the world centuries behind like in the days of Camelot
And now he wants to do the same to the UK😱🤯
So backwards that's why they gave us algebra, alchemy, and sanitation.
All religions are guilty of this
He's right. All religion held us back, but some more than others, and some still to this day.
Stupid Boris Johnson. Islam will govern the world soon or later.
Duh
cyalm Spot on !
Of course it did. It’s undeniable, if this mop haired fool can grasp that. Why can’t the guardian manage to give a balanced ear to his point..
What does he mean? Like the Muslims in Birmingham who don’t want their children taught about same sex relationships? Is that backwards or the future?
Ignorance feeds bigotry ,bigotry feeds violence,violance creates terrible global clashes that humanity would ultimately be the victim❗️
cyalm Unfolding earth
cyalm Sir have u read islam ? You know nothing about it ist read then pass such a statments. If driver is not driving call we u cant say car is not good same i wish u read if you find it wrong then pass such a statments hope u will understand
cyalm to some extent he is right
BorisJohnson your prejudice is showing and you clearly do not understand history. Muslim scholars kept much of Greek science and mathematics safe and added to the knowledge during the European Dark Age when the Catholic Church was suppressing such knowledge.
FFS Trumps Clone!
Early Islam was perhaps what helped push it forward tbh.
Islam is the reason we have mathematics, soap and proper clothing. Your lot, BorisJohnson have a lot more to do with holding Muslims back by constantly invading their countries and destroying them with your lots incessant colonialism and fake wars!
Never ever thought I would agree with the blonde Knob.
Difficult to argue that he's wrong
The Tories have taken us back a few centuries
The Muslim world seemed a lot farther ahead with science and mathematics, while Europe was drowning in the stupidity of the Dark Ages.
hes not wrong tho
What do you expect from a pig but a grunt. borisisagrunt
Religious prejudice is the worst hatred. It makes people insane and violent. The problem started with the first PREACHER telling us what is wrong. And then they organized and sent us to HOLY WARS TO KILL OTHERS. Belief is personal and I don’t need a preacher of hate, BORIS.
Yes, of course. It was Islam. The British and the French had nothing to do with that. Right?
🤮
Translation: I need something rank, ignorant and racist to say to energise my White and Elderly base, because, you know, election coming up! Just LOL. Looks like bozo boris is being breastfed by Steve Bannon
You want try thinking about facts for a moment or two
Errrr, when Europe were in the dark ages before the renaissance, the Islamic golden age was flourishing in science, philosophy, theology, astronomy, education. Algebra? The world first oldest university Fatima al fihiya...The house of wisdom Baghdad, I rest my case!!!
Stupidity and madness
Anyone remember how Copernicus and Galileo fared? Mmmm- and even Darwin?
He's not wrong
Terrorists like you, put the world centuries behind
His point about the printing press is accurate, and if his comments are so controversial then I’m amazed they weren’t picked up years ago. This is LCD journalism - low-level contrived trash.
Atheism , education & birth control - the cure for humankind
essers Funny how the Islamic world was once the height of civilization before barbarians attacked it then.
This 'revelation' apparently surprises the Graun. Its head is so far embedded in its journalistic entrails it has zero perspective.
They are not productive during Ramadan
So did the Colonial British Empire. How soon we forget.
And the Conservatives have caused more suffering in this country than any other party in power...blah blah....dreading this man running the country 😠
Islam did do that
Ancient Islamic societies were the height of civilization while Illiterate Europeans were herding goats.
Even by Guardian standards, this is utterly desperate.
Is it Boris or the Guardian that said that. The religion put the ARAB WORLD behind.
Same hairstyle with Donald Trump yes why won't they be friends 🤔🤪🤪🤪🤪
When religion is involved in Government & influences laws, it sets that country back. Just look at America where men are making it illegal to have abortions. Or politicians use God in their speeches. It’s pathetic. Even the Irish people are further ahead.
So you dig out an old essay show it to tell mama who say it's 'problematic' - from what little you show his speculation is nothing extraordinary and made by others. Is the Guardian now openly campaigning for blasphemy laws to be introduced?
He's being overly generous.
He's right. If we don't stop Muslim immigration our future will be darker than oil. Sooner or later our pretty girls will be covered from head to toe, and we boys couldn't wear skinny clothes and make up. Muslim population grows faster than bugs.
Ibn al-Haytham would have some thoughts on this comment I’m sure
This is Boris, he's come from the future. Hi Boris!
He’s absolutely correct! But then so did Catholicism and Orthodoxy and the rest of the bullshit for Christians.
MAY BE
You don't teach yourself and your people what Muslims contributed before European revolution and in Golden age. Claim so many inventions of Muslims and Indians as your inventions. That's why you think in that way.
& Christianity put humanity way ahead by allowing LGBT; shame on him & the news item
What about those that support politics with war-welfare.And are not Moslems.
Clearly a theocracy based upon 6th century norms would do what Boris said. Probably why there is so much censorship. Because it is indefensible.
Your head looks like an onion head. In the past, whenever I saw you, I thought this resemblance in shape only. Now, it is clear that the similarity between your head and the onion head is in the ability to understand history too.
Agree, but some would say go back to the dark ages of Europe and see how the Muslim countries were prosperous, I would say stop looking back, the rules of different now.
demonstrably correct.
who added algebra to mathematics? muhamd ibn e musa al khawarzimi a muslim scientist and mathematician who wrote first 10 volumes in alchemy and metallurgy? Jabir ibn haiyan who developed principles of optics? reflection refraction etc.? ibn al haytham another muslim scientist
He's right. If we don't stop Muslim immigration our future will be darker than oil. Sooner or later our pretty girls will be covered from head to toe, an we boy couldn't wear skinny clothes and make up. Muslim population grows faster than bugs.
Absolutely true. Stuck in the 7th Century, with no valuable contributions to mankind. Unless you consider the slaughter of 660 million an accomplishment.
Am I in a different World? When did it become okay for Presidents and potential Prime Minister to become racists and or prejudiced arseholes?
/ That’s rather a sweeping statement to make Islam look totally detrimental to the World as a whole ?
He's not wrong. Islam did stunt d growth of Muslim world n culture. Remember dat before Islam, Arabic world gave us Algebra, Surgery, Coffee, Optics, Toothbrush to name a few. After Islam - nothing. Islamic world need their own Scientific & Industrial revolution & Renaissance
White people are so predictable. Their ancestors literally and figuratively rape and pillage entire countries, then blame those same people for being backward while they try to put the bloody, tattered remains of their cultures and history back together.
Well, he isn't wrong here, Arabic culture and science was ahead of its time and ultra conservative religious zealots ended that
Learn history bozo.
Well thats what you expect Trumps pupet to say
In 2100 more than half of the English people will be Muslims, stop fearing Islam, because it will be the religion of your grandchildren
He needs to read 'Silk Roads'.
You mean like stoning people for adultery and throwing gays off high buildings? Then he'd be right wouldn't he? Let alone the oppression of the female gender.
Islam is what helped restore the greatest knowledge and civilization the world has ever/will ever (Egypt) see back to its former glory. The west stole the knowledge, and weaponized gun powder. End of story. Borris is ignorant and has an inferiority complex.
Unfortunately this won't dent his popularity one bit with the right wing Tory members who share his hatred for Islam. I exchanged tweets yesterday with members of the Jewish community who descended into the most appalling Islamophobia!
What math did you use to figure that out, Boris?
I really thought it was about a new Dumb & Dumber movie! 🤔🤦
The Renaissance was possible thanks to Muslim scholars.
It did: Islam never had an equivalent of the enlightenment. anyone with any common sense can see this.
Just compare how South Corea and Taiwan rose from war and poverty to democracy and wealth with Nigeria, Pakistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia stagnant countries dominated by corruption, military rule and abysmal levels of inequality, health, freedom, instruction innovation
Who?
Well, he should not directly target any religion. Probably, these are the Muslim leaders who are responsible for all the mishaps by becoming the puppets of the world powers and not doing their efforts in a true sense.
Boris Johnson should have said all religion has put the world centuries behind.
Try telling that to the England cricket team.
Islamism has done that not necessarily Islam.
All the things that we’ve learned about mathematics, science and particularly medicine, which the Islamic world made massive advances in long before anyone in the west. Everywhere I turn there is more and more evidence of what a dangerous, unprincipled ass this man is.
Agreed. The ‘powers that be’ tend to encourage it in that general direction.
This is not even the slightest bit controversial.
With Trump, Johnson, Putin, Salvini et al... welcome back to the ‘Globalised Spanish Inquisition’.... Pity Torquemada’s grandfather was not a Muslim Turk!
Not only did it put the Arab world behind but there is plenty of evidence that it caused the dark ages in Europe and turned the North African coast to desert.
Dude, organized religion has put back humanity for centuries lol. Your nations dumb as ruler system is part of that because 'they were chosen by god'. Stop this bullshit and just accept your the British British Trump now. Known bigot who is only convincing to the LCD
They never had a reformation or an enlightenment.
The whole world is probably centuries behind because of religion.
BorisJohnson You have more immediate shit of your own making to clean up
Can't argue with that.
Does he know what muslin and Islam actually mean?
All you have to do is look how 99% of the people in Islamic countries live and you'll understand he's right.
well, i guess a neanderthal like BorisJohnson would recognize humans from centuries ago - or, perhaps even millenniums ago. incompetence ignorance
But where would we be without math?
This is guaranteed to win him a lot of votes in a general election. Not only wrong, but stupid.
And that’s ducking true !
He is right. Islam is regressive, not progressive. History has shown that.
Nothing this man claims is even worth reading never mind commenting on.
You have DT's twin brother there in Boris Johnson. Do not allow him to become PM or else you will find out the hard way what it feels like to have DT in office. Horrible.
Same thing can be said about evangelicals and Christianity, but my statement turns out to actually be true. His? Xenophobic
We say the same thing about Christianity in the west. It’s called the Dark Ages.
