I love this reason and your paragraph. England wasn’t developed then. It was still developing and those cultures had a hand in the development of the western world. England is now developed and you’re comparing hundreds of men on dinghies to the historical advancements in the western world brought about by countries ahead of us. Brilliant. Not only that but you give us this. ‘’ These invasions generally tend to be good for the invader and poor for the current inhabitants.’’ That applies to now so well done. And I really don’t think we’re struggling with knowledge and ability like we were before the ‘Romans, Dans, Saxons, Angles, Normans’ formed who we are and how we live today, and I don’t think we want or need the Islamic world to. The H's were primarily involved in the import & exports of Quinoa & had ties with the ealy Inca civilisation.

Calling your understanding basic is the most accurate thing you’ve ever posted on here. You know absolutely nothing about The Roman Empire beyond watching Gladiator. The relationship between refugee Goths and the eventual fall of the Empire is in just about every reference you can search. You are embarrassing yourself.

It is becoming clear to me that the likes of Dan, Wisbech and a few others troll threads on subjects that question their ideals, in an attempt to get them locked. Don't give them ammunition.

It is your position that is revisionist. All of the following were either first discover or refined in the Arab world Algebra (an Arabic word) Islamic architecture was instrumental to many advances in geometry. Not watching the tennis? Originally posted by Stirlingsays
Errrr....what a load of revisionist nonsense. Mathematics was well on its way before Islam....and Physics was an unnamed part of the natural sciences within the same study. Nothing would have stopped its progression, outside of overtly strict religion....which by the way is what happened in Islamic countries. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Sep 2021 9.51pm)

You spoke of the 'Muslim world' and put forward the absurd idea that mathematics wouldn't have progressed to today's technologies without them. Talk about a stretch. Arabs certainly contributed, however it's absurd to suggest that mathematics required Islam.....what it required was investment towards its own ends...which came about from rich patrons. Maths would have certainly progressed....ideas are not limited to a time and place and require a more relaxed environment for study...as we saw throughout history within various empires like Greece abd Babylon. Indeed, when the enlightenment happened in Europe, the irons were blown away from the main impediment holding science back.....which was religion. Anyway, the origins of algebra can be traced back to the ancient Babylonians, who were not all Arabs anyway. Tennis bores me. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Sep 2021 10.55pm)

If you are only comfortable reading opinions that you agree with then I think it's better that you read nothing and remain ill-informed.

Yes, the refugee Goths were a key component in the sacking and fall of Rome. These two factors were critical at a time when the Empire was overstretched and crumbling from within.

Let's not forget that you wrote that academic opinions on immigration as a factor on Rome's fall didn't even exist even though you had read a book which said they were a factor. Indeed, it seems that it's you who were apparently uncomfortable with reading what you didn't agree with. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Sep 2021 11.05pm)

There were a number of reasons why Rome fell, but anyone who denies that an influx of migrants was not a major factor is plain wrong. Any source on the subject should tell you that.
