[shatree2007]

it means Quran work as a trigger for human to invent many sciences...that's the fact.

[chavspotter]

Very interesting and enlightening, at school we were never taught about the history of Arab countries.

[turkmuslim4ever]

those people on the pictures are not treu islamic inventors they are just dummies who keep getting money out of things they steal and say extremists are terrorists the treu terrorists are themselfs, hypocrits!

[reshad15]

It's nice to see something positive every once in a while. Islam is a beautiful religion the Middle-eastern, Arab cultures have laid the foundations for many sciences.(Math, Medical, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Philosophy etc. etc. I really hate the extremist muslims misinterpreting the Q'uran and gicing the Islam a bad name. We hate them too believe me. And I believe I speak on behalf of all "normal" muslims when I say: We apologize for the extremists and what they have done to the West.

[dusty8512]

so why is it that many muslim countries are so poor?

[321roomi321]

@germanicus24 there is no end to the hypocrisy of ppl like you ... when arabs do some thing bad that is due to Islam ... and when Mulim arabs make contributions to science and technology while being firm believers of islam .... you dont want to call it a muslim achievement... i hope you get well soon

[mewoone]

it was under the islam union....no nationalities...

[farhandafunk]

breath taking!!!!!!!!!!

[ooglebydoogleby]

fair coment

[QWertys24]

ISLAM and Sciences

Scientists Proved that the Qur-an is the Book of One and Only Almighty GOD,.

[TheChangeling85]

your are right, However Arab is a political statment, most of the muslim contributions to the world where by arabic speaking people.

Can you understand?

[marwon8]

I am sure the West would be less reluctant to acknowledge where acknowledgment is due if muslims were less demanding wherever they go, insisting that theirs is the only "correct" way of life.
