Very objective indeed! Guess what Mohamad was born in Saudi so tole3 bye7ki 3arabi, yeh kif se2abet and Confuscious was born in china so Confuscists will say what you say about the Arabic language.
A language is a means of communication. Every language has its poesy and litterature, and all are pretty in the eyes of their beholder, however one should not be closed minded as to think his is the best, especially when the languages you know can be counted on fingers of one hand while there exists in the world hundreds of languages you have no clue about.

brought from Persia or brought from Mars, what's the difference, they came to where universities, science and R&D flourished and it was the arab world.
Just like everybody goes to US universities now to study. There was money in the arab world and the ability to spend money to do research, this happened and happens in every civilization, this rich advance civ attracts the elite thinkers who end up producing in the rich civ, thanks to the good organization and equality this civilization offers. While the Arabs were flourishing, the French and the English were fighting never ending wars.
What destroyed the Arabic civilization is not the Mongols it's actually their greed and extending their borders beyond what they could maintain leaving the interior vulnerable and decaying while accumulating the wealth of the world through they found nobody to trade with and their last generation became lazy and not caring to learn similar to generation X of today.
Incidentally that's how the Spanish empire collapsed. This how the US is collapsing, but civilization histories taught us that civilization don't learn from each other, they keep repeating the same mistakes.

Saladin, what I say can't possibly be racist since I'm an Arab myself. But the difference between you and me is that you've placed yourself in history books. As proud as you want to be about it, and that's your right, just know that in the newspapers everyone is laughing at us. Including us.
