that's like saying we'd never have achieved flight if it wasn't for 'murica. it would have been accomplished at a later date, by someone else, perhaps somewhere else entirely.

Ibn Hawas was a super ****ing genius though. In many ways up there with Newton and Davinci. He was lucky to live when and where he did. This BBC series is fascinating.https://youtu.be/FLay7RD3kEw
I'm not trying to diminish bragging rights. just the general inventor's fallacy: that an invention would not eventually occur at the hands of another inventor, and the intellectual/technological/medical/etc progression of our species would be permanently stunted as a result.

I know you're not, that period of Islam was fascinating and probably st the time Baghdad was the freest city history had ever seen. Exactly, education and discovery at that point for Islam was seen as a muslims duty for the glorification of Allah. Shocking how the Ottamans stalled and in fact reversed all that.
This is where people don't understand what happened in the translation period. For the first time Indian 0 and Greek geometry were side by side in the same language and Al Misri was able to create Algebraic proofs through his genius. To paraphrase Newton, he saw further standing on the shoulder of giants.

This is something only an inbred Saudi would say. Abbasid cultural enrichment period ended with the Mongol invasion of Baghdad. Ottomans had their own enrichment period.
Without Islam people wouldn't be blowing themselves up-- and trying to kill as many innocent people as possible in doing so--for their nonexistent moon god Allah (and no, Isamic god and Christian one are not the same no matter how many times people try to claim they are;Christian one is actually real) thinking it will earn them 72 virgins in Heaven lol.
Without Islam, the Crusades never would've had to happen.
Islam is a plague on the world.
No doubt some Christian-hater is gonna come along now and say Christianity is too lol. Which is BS, of course.

You are by far the most ignorant and simple-minded person I've ever come across in my many years on the internet. That or you are the best damn troll ever; outdoing even me. Congrats. Now an hero.
^No doubt that was an anti-Christian response considering who made it lol.

^This kid has me on block since I triggered him too much in the GDF. Typical mindless conservative who can dish it but can't take it. Fragile ego much? No wonder you relate with Trump.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Yeah it really is the lamest thing. Imagine making almost every post with so much vitriol towards other people but being too much of an emotionally fragile pussy to take any shit in return. He's a complete punk.
