Let’s word the question a different way...What good things have the islamic/muslim death cult given us? There has got to be something they aren’t latching onto as theirs.

Not 100% sure, but I think that Algebra is used in the making of bombs.
They also used it to calculate the number of virgins that they will be given when they die in a holy war.

In other words, if you hate algebra, find another reason than that it was invented by Muslims.

They gave us some cool star names.

Islam hasn’t contributed nothing but murder and conquest to the world.

Wikipedia certainly cannot be accused of being conservative, or Muslim-hating.
Yet, as they note, Arabic numerals originally came from India. What we call Arabic numerals, Arabs call Hindu numerals.
Once again, the Arabs simply passed on discoveries from civilizations that they conquered.

He might as well claim that Southern American Whites didn’t invent slavery....no one is going to believe him.

There is the ottoman, the sofa, alcohol, and (snicker) soap.

My desire to hate the Arabs is such that I’m conflicted. Arabic numbers are, well, Arabic numbers for a reason. The Devil gets his due when the truth is served.

"The Devil gets his due when the truth is served."That was a misprint. Truth is truth, regardless...and the Arabs deserve credit for advancements in mathematics.

Distilled spirits were invented in Islamic lands but not by Muslims.
Distillation was invented by Christian physicians in Spain. Not Muslims

They probably did. Who else would want to claim that mess called Math.

The muslims never invented anything at all. Except maybe, and it’s a big maybe, pedophilia and incest.

Regardless of who invented algebra, public schools in the US don’t teach it anymore.
