Islam, the west ... what you try to compare here Geographic sites or religions?
The west was not a religious empire the way caliphates were. However in my posts - and I realise you are not replying to me - I have used the expression Christendom, then europe / the west, because the 'west' did start as an area defined by common religion, and but then became a much more secularly defined entity.
Christians in spain were treated so well and it s not me who says this but the historians.
Western historians love to emphasis the good in others and the bad in ourselves. It would be hard for you to grasp Ab, and I dont blame you if it is - because it's mad.
In actual fact, the fate of Dhimmis in Al Andaluz was a lot less pleasant than it is sometimes cracked up to be. That said, a lot less bad than the fate of jews and muslims under christian regimes elsewhere, and indeed a lot less bad than the fate of jews, christians and pagans under muslim regimes elsewhere.
Moreover there are bad comparisons made here; a mature Al Andaluz is compared to the formative crusader kingdom of Outremer. By the time that was established, the various religions also lived in peace. Equally, at the time islamic armies initially arrived in places, generally their was a bloodbath (don't know if this was the case in spain, and it's so far back we may not have a good picture).
If I am blaming the west as you said then it s because there is the good and the bad everywhere and the west is not a perfect place/society. just recently, a priest tried to burn th Quran in 9/11,
If you are talking about that mad pastor, he is not a priest, and he got lots of abuse for it and called it off. Much less attention was given to an atheist who went ahead and did it mind you (he burned a bible as well)
In spain they build a night club which looks like a mosque and naming it Macca. is this not something to be blamed for?. I am here to stand for my thoughts.
I don't know the club in question, but I doubt that was intended to be offensive. I suspect it's not intended to be a mosque so much as an arabic building. You get that in the west Ab - you probably get it in Morocco - people set up 'theme' bars or clubs, which are based on different places or contexts. I doubt it was intended maliciously.
