He talks about the Greeks..what he doesn’t know is the Greeks learnt from Africans. It’s not a secret read the works of Herodotus the father of history. Pythagoras , Plato, Thales and the rest all got their knowledge from Egypt while it was predominantly inhabited by Africans.

PNUT, obviously you know nothing of European history. Facts are facts, I suggest studying it and not making emotional comments based upon your hatred of Christianity. The Renaissance of Europe was directly attributed to the dominance of Christianity overtaking Europe as a whole, supplanting paganism that had a stranglehold on the continent for so long. It was the call of Christian leaders that unified the people against Islamic imperialism that over ran 2/3 of the continent prior to the Crusades. Europe survived in spite of their disobedience to Biblical principles & morality.

And now that Europe is turning sharply towards secular humanism, it has been easy pickings for Islamic colonization. It’s only real hope is to return to honoring the God of the Bible and His Word, which again would infuse the people with the courage & understanding to resist Islam.

Nice try Matt,
Western civilization has reached its heights DESPITE your religion, not because of it.
What is there to be so proud of in superstition and nonsense ?

The man is right in almost everything, except one. He overlooks the influence of the judeo-christian worldview in western civilization. All those values that he lists (freedom, persuit of happyness, individuality, etc) are logical outcomes of the belief in a Rational Creator as manifested in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. If you take away the judeo-christian item from western civilization, there wouldn’t be any western civilization. Europe would have fallen to the Arabs in Poiters, and we’d bell “arabs”.

I would go even futher and say this: western civilization owes its sucess to One Single Jewish Man: Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Take Him away from History, and it becomes unexplainable.

This is a hudna of sorts, not that they need to with an usurper President in the White House. Ten steps forward one step back…

Change is happening – the question is how quickly this positive change (for all) can be sustained.

A Law professor in Qatar stated too, that it was tiem for them to change. Qatar now allowing Christian churches to be build. I was surprised that Saudi Arabia did not object to that.
Religions still causing problems under Christians too.
I prefer to stay away from the Religeous groups all together.
