You're wrong, it's just that you know nothing about islamic cultures. Also Muslims were traveling through Europe a long time ago.And may I add European Christianity has way more culture, history, philosophy to serve then islam. But that's just mho. Where do schools come from you think? Hospitals? Medical care????

Many historians and sociologists assert today that Islam was the leading cause of Europe's movement from the darkness of its Middle Ages to the brilliance of its Renaissance. At a time when Europe was backward in medicine, astronomy, mathematics, and many other fields, Muslims possessed a vast treasure of knowledge and great possibilities of development.
This is just tiny examples. You ignore that civilizations always communicated and brought things to each other. We wouldn't be as we are if Chinese, arabian, jewish cultures didn't exist. It's not religion that make things, nor it is countries. It's people.
Your last post finish to demonstrate how you're just Islamophobic and ignorant.
Secularism came from Medieval Islam?One person who believes that European civilization has learned much from Islam and that the two civilizations have always been intimately connected is Charles, Prince of Wales. Prince Charles describes Islamic civilization and what Andalusia and the Ottoman experience in the Balkans has taught Europe:

Diplomacy, free trade, open borders, the techniques of academic research, of anthropology, etiquette, fashion, alternative medicine, hospitals, all came from this great city of cities. Mediaeval Islam was a religion of remarkable tolerance for its time, allowing Jews and Christians to practice their inherited beliefs, and setting an example which was not, unfortunately, copied for many centuries in the West.
The discussion we need to have is why religion is rising, and what we need to do about it. Not how we need to fight Islam. Because you don't win anything by oppressing people.
People are turning to religion because capitalist/liberal life is meaningless, unethical, cold and gross. People seeks for spirituality, ethic, etc. But with religion, it's a whole package of spirituality, questionable ethic and obscurantism. I would suggest these people to take LSD and become anarchist instead. haha
