After ISIS started to show up in the 70s.
ISIS was not a thing in 1970...
when the west made a pact with Mephistopheles
Iran was actually a fairly rich country and all
I would say the Age of Exploration
Before the implementation of radical Islam.
>Implying that Islam was actually worth something
The Ottoman Empire was decent, it was powerful, rich, and feared.
but it's debatable if it could even be ocnsidered a power by the late 1910's
The Ottomans peaked at the death of Suleyman
@Deli.v2 you're correct in that, but that's when the RI started to show.
so you think the decline began when the ottoman decline began?
And through the 70s, they started to get into more powerful positions.
RI?
With that, they shifted the direction of the country.
(Radical Islam.)
oh
never heard anyone make that an acronym

Muslims have always been stagnate and fallen behind🤔
No
They were fantastic when they were unified under the Abbasids
"muslim world"?
Even the Ottomans were ahead in military technology
it's not about muslim or christianity so much as it is europe vs asia
Watch out boys we got a retard over here
Until they started to stagnate due to a long period of peace
asia was originally on par with european development and sometimes even ahead for much of time, until colonial periods where they were effectively oppressed and dismantled for western profits
it's been a very slow recovery period since those times, with only a few economies building back up to compete with the west
>few
can't tell if you're implying less or more there
More
not really
most of asia still can't compete with the west
some countries can
Chad Islam
Don't mix culture with Islam
For example Japan, S.K, Taiwan, China, Thailand, India, Saudi Arabia
