Impact of Islam on Civilizations

Everywhere Islam takes over, civilizations collapse.

This is history, not an opinion. Egypt before the seventh

century, a brilliant civilization.

Alexandria, the center of ancient knowledge.

After the Arab conquest in the year six hundred and forty, Coptic

Christians persecuted, special taxes, elites

fleeing. Result: a poorer Egypt. Mesopotamia,

Baghdad, ninth century, capital of world knowledge, science,

medicine, philosophy. Then Islamic internal wars, Sharia law

imposed, economic decline. Today, Iraq ruined and

unstable. Lebanon, 1960s, prosperity.

It was called the Switzerland of the Middle East.

Then the rise of Islamists in the 1970s.

Civil war from 1975 to 1990. Result: exile,

bankruptcy, chaos. Iran before 1979, a

modern country, growth, open universities.

After the Islamic revolution, religious dictatorship,

sanctions, massive impoverishment.

Afghanistan, 1970s, Kabul universities,

cultural openness. Then the arrival of the Taliban, brutal

collapse. Today, a country ruled by Sharia, famine

everywhere. Gaza, 1950s, visible Christian

minority, active economy. Then the rise of Hamas,

Sharia law imposed. Today, ruins, extreme

poverty, massive unemployment. Always the same story:

conquest, Sharia oppression, and everywhere collapse.

Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan, Gaza.

Different countries, always the same result.

Everywhere political Islam takes power, civilization

disappears. Everywhere political Islam took power,

local

civilizations collapsed. This is history, not an opinion, and North

Africa is a striking example. Before the year six hundred and ninety,

North Africa was mostly Berber. Christian kingdoms still existed,

heirs of Rome and Byzantium. Carthage, Timgad, Hippo,

cities with churches where people spoke Latin and Berber, where

local traditions were still alive.

But everything changed brutally after six hundred and ninety.

Arab armies crossed Egypt, then invaded Libya

and advanced to Morocco.

In seven hundred and eleven, they crossed the Strait of Gibraltar.

They conquered Spain. The result? Forced conversions.

Christianity disappeared. Indigenous Judaism declined.

Whole populations were Islamized and Arabized.

The Berbers, a free people, resisted. They fought back. They rebelled.

But against military and religious domination, most

were subdued.

Their language declined. Their writing almost vanished.

Their original identity was erased.

Look at Tunisia. Carthage, once a Christian and Roman center,

was destroyed in six hundred and ninety-eight.

Its churches were torn down, replaced by mosques.

In Algeria and Morocco, Berber kingdoms were absorbed into the

caliphate.

The Arabic language was imposed. Local customs were suppressed.

Every uprising was crushed in blood.

From Morocco, armies crossed the sea in seven hundred

and eleven.

They occupied almost the whole Iberian Peninsula.

For eight centuries, Spain lived under Islamic rule.

Only a few Christian kingdoms in the north survived in constant resistance.

Everywhere, the same pattern: conquest, Islamization,

Arabization, ancient cultures erased, peoples transformed

by force. Even today, North Africa still carries the mark of

those

conquests. The Berbers reduced to a minority,

their ancient

languages almost gone, and much of their history erased.
