give him this much.

he probably understands paper wasn't invented less than 700 years ago.

and that egypt wasn't always arab. and, for that matter, arab's aren't all muslims.

it's that kind of subtle nuance that gives him a leg up on numerologists.

since you asked...

http://www.islamtomorrow.com/science2.asp

some excerpts:


Muslim astronomers were the first to establish observatories, like the one built at Mugharah by Hulagu, the son of Genghis Khan, in Persia, and they invented instruments such as the quadrant and astrolabe, which led to advances not only in astronomy but in oceanic navigation, contributing to the European age of exploration.


Ibn Sina (d. 1037), better known to the West as Avicenna, was perhaps the greatest physician until the modern era. His famous book, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, remained a standard textbook even in Europe, for over 700 years. Ibn Sina's work is still studied and built upon in the East.


i did a search when i saw you ask. quite a lot of info out there. if you really want to know what they've contributed, there seems to be quite a bit. as for any one list of everything, i didn't find that. but i didn't realize muslims 'invented' algebra, that most modern medical instruments are almost exactly like the ones invented by a muslim, or that the taj mahal was built by a muslim.

He should say , we know that all Muslims arent bad and want to blow themselves and everything up, it just seems that way to all the normal and logical people in the world , so how about you control your bad guys like your women.

I've never used the hearts, but when you write something with that much function (and such poor form,) then you get my trophy of love.

i think logical people know better than to lump an entire group of people into a category because of the actions of a few.
