An educational foundation in the UK has announced plans to distribute to high schools a free book that highlights the scientific and cultural legacies of Muslim civilization.
1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World is the creation of the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilization (FSTC), a Manchester-based organization set up to raise awareness of the contributions of the Muslim world to modern civilization.
FSTC said the contribution that Muslim and other civilizations have made to the modern world has been widely overlooked and that its team of academics has focused on debunking the myth of the so-called "Dark Ages of Civilization."

The camel humping SOB’s have no idea what science is.
Sand and Sun, and camels, thats all they know.
I worked in the middle east for 22 years. Spittttt.....
quick read
What absolute drivel.
The book talks about the first human flight?
Are they talking about this gem:
King Kaj Kaoos of Persia, who attached eagles to his throne and flew around his kingdom
Because the first recorded HUMAN flight that I learned of was by the Montgolfier brothers, 1783 in France ... and that was BEFORE the muslims took over Europe.
Yes and Mohammed al-Gore invented the Internet. He and his wife, Fatima were the inspiration for “Love Story - A Man and his Camels”.
What a great idea! But seriously, how many pages can you devote to the invention of the electric prayer rug before it gets monotonous?
Islam made great advances in a number of sciences, but those advances ended more than 700 years ago. The mullahs decided that science was intrinsically opposed to Islam, and that was that.
they’re not opposed to science. They’re just not very bright.
I wish they wouldn’t show these pics over and over again. They only present an occasion for Muslims to cheer and hi-5 each other.
I can tell by their most ‘civilized’ culture, progress and actions.
(cough... reaching for my Chinese, Greek, etc. texts)
Thank you for posting that 9-11 photo sequence. Please...never forget what happened that day and who was responsible for it. That day did not scare me... it just pissed me off. That internal anger will never go away. I’d tell you what kind of torture I’d like to inflict on the terrorists who planned 9-11 - but it would be really disgusting. Waterboarding is way too civil.
I don’t know... they did a good job of taking over over other countries and their ‘inventions’ as well.
The period between the 7th and the 13th century were a period of exceptional scientific advancement in Islam. In the 13th century, Islam entered into its own dark age, voluntarily.
Are these the same Muslims that claim Jews eat babies and vaccinations are of the devil? Thanks for the zero....but that’s about it.
I would admire to hear of a Muslim country that could design and build a bicycle from scratch, let alone an automobile or airplane.
