Literally nonsense if there is a religion that bind his believers in an unreasoned cult and ideology, it’s Islam.Europeans would have been better educated and literate. Islam teaches its adherants to become knowledgeable about their religion and to read its holy book. Catholicism, and even many protestant churches, preached ignorance because it was afraid that a literate population would realize that 99% of its teachings were not in the Bible and were either pulled out out their asses for population control/wealth or veiled paganism (eucharist, easter, etc).
Nonsense also because it’s in Europe that major agricultural innovations took place like the use of horse collar, the mouldboard plow, the horsehoe…Europe would have had far greater agricultural output. During the Middle Ages, Europe abandoned many agricultural techniques and tools because they were deemed as heretical by the Catholic church. Something as simple as using a threshing board to process wheat (which took less time and gave greater yield) could get someone executed by the church just because the threshing board was invented in the Middle East.
Europeans have built the Cathedrals in the Middle Ages. How you can say that’s not comparable to build some Mosques that aren’t even high as 1/10 of the height of a gothic church ? What you can say about medieval castles ? Do you really think that building cities like Carcassone, Siena, Lucca or Bruges require less technical skill that building a mosque and some desert houses ? Seriously…Europe would have better engineering and housing. The collective knowledge of the Persian, Greek and Roman empires was largely lost to Europe after the fall of Rome. While medieval engineers were not complete failures, the knowledge and tools at their disposal cannot compare to the Islamic world's engineering which built upon and continued improving the collective knowledge of the classical world.
People from Renaissance were more dirty than those from Middle Ages. For sure. The Islamic world emphasizes so much cleanliness than today muslim countries are thirld-word countries in all definitions (including hygiene).Europe would have had better sanitation. While European Christianity of the Middle Ages put no emphasis on cleanliness or hygiene, the Islamic world emphasized the importance of cleanliness and hygiene.
Europeans had already developed the foundations of modern medicine, for example Vesalius that was the most important anatomist of the Renaissance time, he helped to destroy the work of Claudius Galenus and to understand better how human body works. It's not Islam.There would have been fewer plagues and better medical treatment available. Islam was the spiritual successor to the medical achievements of the classical world, and continued to improve and build upon them. Europeans waited until the late 1800s before waking up to modern medicine. Europeans were still treating people on the notion of the four humors into the 1700s.
Bullshit. Totally bullshit. Modern physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, geology, history, economy were all founded by European people. The Islamic world hasn’t done anything scientifically speaking since the 15th century, and to be fair, the overwhelming majority of Islamic scientists were Persian or Syrian and some were even seen as heretics (like Avicenna).Scientific witchhunts would not have happened. The Islamic world praised scientific innovation and technology, and it's no surprise that the majority of scientific achievements between 800 and 1800 took place in the Islamic world.
Islam is a perverted religion that has been founded by a pedophile. Nothing more to say, Mohamed was a degenerate who created his sect (inspired also by Nestorians and the Arabic Jews that were in the Arabic Peninsula). There isn’t one country in Europe that allow to marry childs, especially when the husband is 60 years older than the bride. The statistics of the erotic websites tells us a lot about the sexual preferences of Saudis for example.Finally, to whoever earlier mentioned pedophilia in connection to Islam, I think you're forgetting to mention the sexual perversion of the Catholic church. Furthermore, Islam forbids incest and zoophilia, but certain perverse Northern European countries that have never been under Islamic control allow zoophilia and the like. Sexual perversion happens in many societies, including European Christendom.

Yet these Islamic bigots who don't tolerate non-muslims/infidels demand that everyone else must tolerate the intolerant muslims.) 
Anyway it makes me proud to be an Insular Celt.
