"Will someone please show me the Nobel Prizes in Math or Science from the Muslim world?"
I have been waiting for someone with a big voice to bring this out. Finally, someone has.
In school they told us that the Arabs had preserved all the great knowledge from ancient times, and that all the wisdom and learning that had gone on during the "Dark Ages" in Europe had taken place among the wise and educated Arab world.
Other than the fact that Arabs had kept some manuscripts preserved in libraries in the Middle East, and hadn't made any attempt to preserve these manuscripts at all by copying them and sending out the copies to other libraries in case of fire (notice how many manuscripts were destroyed in the fire at the library in Alexandria), the Arabs did nothing. No, there was no new learning, no research, no philosophy, not during the Middle Ages, not during the Renaissance, not ever. They had some old books they had no regard for. They had the Koran. The two were incompatible and they loved only one of those--sadly, the wrong one.
Some of you people have been taught all your lives that in order to appear "intellectual", Christianity is to be trashed, and Islam is to be tolerated mainly because it isn't Christianity. You're idiots.
