hi all,

About the Islam not being a sourse of western culture:
Islam is certainly part of the sourse of western culture.
Here in Europe we would not have had the Greek and Roman
texts to study from in the Middle Ages, if it had not been
for the way the Muslims preserved these texts in their
library's and university's. This is not a widely known
fact, but it is a fact nonetheless. And since American
culture owes a lot to European culture, the same goes for
american (US) culture.
