The Clown: Those inventions were not made because of Islam, they were made in spite of Islam. Those who made them were termed unbelievers and were persecuted.

grin grin,

Sorry to disappoint you, There was no equivalent of Galileo and co in the muslim world.

Many of the most knowledgeable people in the sciences were actually religious scholars or very knowledgeable in religion. Read some history books.

There is nothing wrong for muslim to invent something humans there are a lot of intelletuals among them. The poster might have been wrong in some of the post but we should not ignore muslim contribution to modern civilisation.

Algebra wasn't really a Muslim invention. As we know it though, Muslim scholars played a crucial part in its development to its modern form. But algebra was learnt by them from the Persians, who conquered Arabs BTW, and before them I'm sure Egyptians and Greeks (eg Pythagoras) would have made important contributions. The most important role Arab scholars played was preserving and adding to algebra whilst Europe lulled in the Dark Ages. It was Arab texts that were the basis of Maths then.

Up till today, Arabic words/culture are still in the university system.

Alumni comes from the word Alim (which means a knowledgeable one).

Even the design of the graduation thobe is from the muslims....

The roots are still there.

We are talking of the things that laid the foundation for the modern world not the finished products.

No need to get worked up over this. Every civilisation has made some contribution to the modern world.

The Arabs conquered the persians not the other way around. The father of Algebra is Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, (780 – 850 CE). It was his book : “al-Kitab al-mukhtasar fi Hisab al-jabr w’al-muqabala”, (“The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing”) that later evolved to algebra

When the mongols conquered baghdad, they destroyed all books and killed the scholars. The fact that knowledge was preserved, built upon and not destroyed as is common with conquerers was vital to our modern age.

There is diffrent between a muslim invention and Arab invention. Were they invent from knowledge gained from Quran or from secular knowledge? If they were not invented base on knowledge gained from Quran... how can one called them muslim invention?

The word algebra comes from the Arabic language (الجبر al-jabr "restoration"wink from the title of the book Ilm al-jabr wa'l-muḳābala by al-Khwarizmi. The word entered the English language during Late Middle English from either Spanish, Italian, or Medieval Latin. Algebra originally referred to a surgical procedure, and still is in Spanish, while the mathematical sense was a later development.
