They are going backward while the rest of the world is going forward.
Actually, Islam has been a civilizing influence during a lot of its early history. But that was then. Right now it's a problem the rest of the world really should deal with.
This explains the expert management of the Gaza greenhouses by the master Islamic agricultural technicians.
"Al-Biruni, the 14th Century physicist was able to calculate the circumference of the Earth and its tilt 600 years before Galileo."
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the Greeks had a good idea about the circumference of the Earth. I'll have to look it up.
Progress in the Arab world stopped with Mohammed.
The European people also had to deal with a concept known as "winter", which made it rather difficult to grow crops in frozen soil.
Tenth Century Muslim doctor Al-Zahrawi pioneered plastic surgery. And his practice of using ink to mark his incisions on the body is still a standard surgical procedure.
This may still be a Muslim practice, too. Maybe someone should consult the head choppers for verification.
Why would you assume their propaganda to be true.
Did it take a lot of work for them to 'invent' apricots, oranges and artichokes? What do you think?
I bet if you researched many of these things, you would find that they had been invented by the Dhimmi population.
Yeah, my watch is the result of Islam.
BS. We'd not be able to measure time if it weren't for some Moo 1000 years ago. Right.
Same with the rest of the BS on this list.
The "three course meal." Now that's a landmark invention, I must admit. Laughing my guts out.
You mean Muslims weren't completely worthless? Hey, how does that song go, What have you done for me lately?
It's a good question. The Arabs conquered a lot of high civilizations, and I suspect most of their achievements came from that. But in the course of time, all of those civilizations decayed under the influence of Islam and its corrupt and greedy rulers.
The Arabs killed the great civilization that ran across North Africa under the Carthaginians and the Romans. The Arabs killed the ancient civilization of Egypt. The Arabs killed the ancient Mesopotamian civilization. The Arabs killed the ancient Persian civilization. The Arabs killed the ancient Greek civilization, although that has come back.
I guess they would have claimed invention of the internet if Al Gore hadn't beat them to it.
Coming soon "Islamic History Month"!
>> They blowed up real good.
Who gives a damn?
I am still not impressed.
It seems everything mention can or was also discovered elsewhere.
Seems this is more a collection of prasing savages for not eating the laptop computer.
