"The Islamic Golden Age,"


With all due respect, it appears your mission is to return civilization to the 7Th to 13Th centuries, no matter how preposterous it sounds to the rest of us. That is like telling a man who drives a car he must now ride a camel instead, or a man who speaks English he must now speak Arabic, or a country with a democratic constitution you must now follow Sharia,(Arabic: '‎شريعة Šarīʿah,) Islamic religious law.
The center of my world can't be reached with feet, hands, & lips

We say it this way, "you can't force a circle into a square.' In a democracy we make allowances for "the circle" & "the square." In Islamic culture either "the circle" becomes "a square," or it is persecuted & rejected for remaining "a circle." We also say, "you can't place God in a box," but Islamic pilgrims circle the Kaaba as part of the Tawaf ritual of the Hajj, pilgrimage, circling the "big box" 7 times while trying to kiss it. Understand, the center of your world is not the center of my world, & it will never be the center. The center of your world is a physical place called Mecca, while the center of my world can not be reached with human feet, hands or lips!

John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
