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.

I remember from some history class that Muslims in Spain and Portugal were terrorized by Christians and forced to convert or leave or be killed and many sailed with or following Columbus to the US and were part of the early settlers.

And do you really think Obama would make a statement like that and not be able to back it up? He had to know that would be Viagra like to Fox and the right.

And I'm playing 666 in the Pick 3 and PowerBall today

But I'm really lost with this one. Hopefully there will be an explanation. I won't count on it.

Someone suggested that I call them the devil and be done with it.

as for deranged... you just don' get my humor.

I think Obama can say or do anything and the Opologists will rush to his defense.
