1. The more we have the less we are.
2. The East is content without form; the West is form without content.
3. It is as fallacious to assert that Islam is unsuited to the age as it is to believe that the age is suited to Islam.

5. Truth is the further shore of love
6. To blame others for our misfortunes is always a victory for the nafs

from “About the Video Section” in Youtube…

In this 90-minute documentary, Rageh Omaar uncovers the hidden story of Europe’s Islamic past and looks back to a golden age when European civilization was enriched by Islamic learning.
Rageh travels across medieval Muslim Europe to reveal the vibrant civilization that Muslims brought to the West.
This evocative film brings to life a time when emirs and caliphs dominated Spain and Sicily and Islamic scholarship swept into the major cities of Europe.
His journey reveals the debt owed to Islam for its vital contribution to the European Renaissance
