I didnt say they invented them, I said western writers got thier ideas when writing of vampires from slavic nations in Balkans.

As for Vlad, he was a great ruler and defender, well known for his reststance aginst the Turks. He maybe was alittle brutal, but most of Balkan rulers were back than. And I dont hate anyone who is muslim, i only hate Ottoman Turks and the Moors, but since they dont exist (in that from) I dont really hate anyone. He was giving ottomans taste their own medicine, because they treated people same way all over Balkans.

Without the Moors Western Europe would've never experienced the Reneissance.

care to elaborate

Advaces in the fields of Mathematics, Astronomy, Science, Chemistry, Medicine, plus preserving the works of Greek philosophers, that permitted the Christians from the West to rediscover them.

Absolute bullshit. The Byzantine Empire is what preserved culture trouughout all of Europe. While France is the oldest technically, they were absolutely pathetic compared to all the knowledge and culture preserved in the Byzantine Empire. Saying the Moors perserved culture is as stupid as saying the Catholic church perserved culture.

In fact, Muslims fucked everything up. When the Ottoman empire took over the Byzantine Empire, the Renaissance had basically just begun in Constantinople. In fact the Renaissance accelerated because of the immigration of great thinkers from the Byzantine Empire to Italy.
