“Muslims waiting for modern equipment made by Muslims can be waiting a long time. It’s not like the Islamic world has been on the creative edge of science or industry. Islam isn’t that kind of culture.”
I read somewhere that the Arab League had a “history” on their website that described all the “firsts” that the Arab world brought to civilization...like first organized farming, math, astronomy, construction techniques, and so on...unfortunately, that history ended at around 400AD (it has since been updated).
Even before the advent of Islam, Arab inventions are highly suspect. After Islam, everything went downhill. Arabs aside, other races and ethnicities who were making great strides also sunk with the anchor of Islam. Islam is more stifling to the progress of civilizations than Socialism.
...unfortunately, that history ended at around 400AD (it has since been updated).
Definitely no advances after Islam...
