Don't be in denial ... Here is a better image.

Here is the better image of Islam in our west with hard proof. May be hard to digest for you susan.

The hard thing for a human being is to change one's concept he believes in.
The harder thing for a human being is to change from one irrelegious ideology to another irreligious ideology (eg. from secularism to communism).
The hardest thing for a human being is to change from one traditional religious faith to another traditional religious faith.

No muslim military ruler or islamist is converting people in the west at bayonet.

Every religion has its own godfathers (religious experts, clerics, scholars, etc.). They usually don't change their traditional religious faith. Islam is the the religion which mostly attracts godfathers from other faiths while at the same time it doesn't loose its own godfathers. In Islam every muslim is its godfather - No ordained priesthood at all, just scholars.

Its spiritual curve always pointing to north. Proved for over 1400 years.

All the Muslim scientists who contributed something to the world lived when our west was in its darkest period in which our west only was in the dark not the whole world. But our west named that age of History of Science as Dark Ages of History of Science not as Dark Ages of History of European Science.

Our west's golden age did not start yet. Because it did not start yet to spiritually win the hearts and minds of the muslim east.

Thanx
