Is RFK Jr Right About The Failure of The Arab World?
RFK Jr.'s claims about Islam, the Arab world, and scientific progress have ignited a political backlash. But was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrong about everything, or did he raise a serious question about the decline of the Islamic Golden Age? National Review's Rich Lowry examines RFK Jr.'s remarks, the reactions from Senator Chris Murphy and Tim Miller, and the historical debate over Islam, science, and Western civilization. Drawing on Bernard Lewis's What Went Wrong?, Rich explores the rise and decline of scientific achievement in the Islamic world, the development of Western institutions, and where Kennedy's argument gets the facts wrong. Is there a larger historical argument worth considering? Share your thoughts in the comments.
