"joined the club of humanity." - do you have a different definition for humanity than i do?

"first peoples in history to use the fork and knife to eat" - Romans got there first, sorry.

"first to build bridges" - Romans got there first as well! Unlucky. In case your confused, Romans were not Muslims.

"They started their contribution by two world wars.." - Turkey (Ottoman Empire) was part of the triple alliance which consisted of Austria-Hungary, Germany and Turkey. So sorry, but it looks like you had a large part to play in the war as well. And before you start blabbing on about the holocaust etc then why don't you look on the internet about a race of people called the Armenians? 3000years ago there were more Armenians than there were Chinese. Hitler himself related to the genocide of the Armenians so well done, you were an inspiration to him! Oh i almost forgot about the Greek Jews who lived in turkey at the time as well who strangely disappeared.

P.S if you want to read a list of inventions done by Christians and Muslims then the Christians list will outwiegh that of the Muslims greatly and it really proves nothing anyway who invented what. Also, don't side track about crusades etc etc because in the West we know the truth about them and if you want i could tell you the history of the crusades but thats all for now Harrak.
