3) This simply means that the civilisation that existed circa 4000 BC, in all these places were comparable in stature. And that no mention is made about trade relations with Europe tells us clearly that no civilisation worth the name existed there.

Adam, this is not about religion. Arabs are Muslim, Christian and Jewish. Nor is this about the crusades, there is a lot to be discussed there. This is about an ugly peice of writing that described Arabs as filth and an explanation that every civilization made contributions to mankind. It is about not using this site for verbal bullets and turning it into a battleground. Thanks for your comments. GS
