The Muslim Arabs did not invent the concept of zero. It was taken from Hindu India, IIRC.

I have locked horns in chat rooms with muslim arabs who claim it is they, and not we (the West), who are the inheritors of Ancient Greek (golden age 450 BC, mostly Athens) culture: art, philosophy, mathematics, etc., and perhaps most notably, representative democracy. They have not heard of, or at least reject, the historical truism of Ancient Greece as the cradle of Western civilization. Give them the invention of the zero (ably disputed in this thread), what have they done lately? Like in the last 1,000 years?

Hah! I stand corrected!
