When she mentions the "Arab" Doctor, I think she is talking about Mimonadies, Rabbi Moshe Mimonadies, that was the Chief Doctor in Egypt, before 900 years, of which most modern medicine is based.

@ChiefOren

Maimonides does feature quite prominently in the 1001 Inventions exhibition. However, Sec. Clinton is referring to a different physician who wrote Medical encyclopaedia.

Mrs. Clinton doesn't make any reference to an "Arab Doctor". She didn't refer to "Arab" anything. You must have misheard. She said "surgeon".

[Harzburgitic]

@ChiefOren No I think she's talking about Ibn Sina but I'm not sure. His name was changed to Avicena to hide his Muslim identity.

[1001Inventions]

@Harzburgitic Yes, she is possibly talking about Ibn Sina or perhaps Al Zahrawi.

Ibn Sina's name was "latinised" to Avicenna. There was never any doubt that he was from the Muslim world.

have you imagined what kind of civilization today, if, and if the muslim scholars had found electricity before the westerners had? i guess, there would be no global warming issue, since islam view science as a means to make the earth prosper without unjustly damage it. imho.

@1001Inventions You are right, and my misunderstanding.
