just for the sake of argument, lets say Mūsā al-Khwārizmī actually did invent algebra, all that means is that a PERSIAN invented it, the fact he was a muslime has zero, zip, nada to do with it. II posted on Sunday, August XI, MMXIII VII:LXII:XXX PM by KarlInOhio
Let’s word the question a different way...What good things have the islamic/muslim death cult given us? There has got to be something they aren’t latching onto as theirs.
Not 100% sure, but I think that Algebra is used in the making of bombs.
They also used it to calculate the number of virgins that they will be given when they die in a holy war.
In other words, if you hate algebra, find another reason than that it was invented by Muslims.
Islam hasn’t contributed nothing but murder and conquest to the world.
La alaha ella alcohol.
He might as well claim that Southern American Whites didn’t invent slavery....no one is going to believe him.
My desire to hate the Arabs is such that I’m conflicted. Arabic numbers are, well, Arabic numbers for a reason. The Devil gets his due when the truth is served.
They probably did. Who else would want to claim that mess called Math.
They probably did. Who else would want to claim that mess called Algebra.
The muslims never invented anything at all. Except maybe, and it’s a big maybe, pedophilia and incest.
Regardless of who invented algebra, public schools in the US don’t teach it anymore.
Besides pedophilia and killing anyone who disagrees, what have they accomplished.
The Muslims translated the Greek writings into Arabic where their philosophers made use of the Greek ideas.
Around 1100 A.D. when the Spanish were taking back their lands from the Muslims, they discovered the translated works.
The Archbishop of Toledo assembled a group of Christian (Catholic), Islamic and Jewish philosophers who all worked together to get the Greek writings translated into Latin.
Curiously, after many years of having benefited from the Greek writings the mullahs in charge decided to forgo anymore work using the Greek writings, whereas the West headed by the Catholic Church understood the benefit of studying the Greek philosophy.
This decision by the Church to not stifle the inquiry preceded and encouraged the Renaissance.
The Islamic religion became stunted when it turned its back on the Greek philosophers.
They are essentially still living in the 1100s.
Liberals love to tell the world how important Islam is. Meanwhile Islam slays women and gays, mutilates women, and enforces a fundamentalistic views. Weird hoe Liberals support this religion, and yet condemn Christianity
Muslims are the only culture (yes, the umma has existed since the 7th century, and it is inseperable from islam; Until the 20th century, there was no word in arabic for "country.") with the arrogance to claim that a name they used for things existing and understood for millennia, not only can, but should be claimed by their culture.
The Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, all knew and named constellations. But none, so far as I know had the presumption to claim that they "discovered" them.
Same with math, medicine, mechanics, architecture, engineering. Islam conquered countries and cultures, adopted their knowledge, then froze all future progress in its tracks.
If it's not in the queer-an, it is not worth knowing. Ignorance, illiteracy and stupidity are islams's main contribution to history.
Then you’ll have to explain why the first algebra problem was:
If Ali starts riding his camel from Mecca toward Riyadh at 2 mph, and Khalil starts riding his camel from Riyadh toward Mecca at 3 mph, how far from Mecca will they meet? The distance from Riyadh to Mecca is 546 miles. For extra credit, how far from Mecca will they meet if Ali stops three times to kill infidels along the way, taking an hour for each stop? Show your work.
just for the sake of argument, lets say Mūsā al-Khwārizmī actually did invent algebra, all that means is that a PERSIAN invented it, the fact he was a muslime has zero, zip, nada to do with it.My Dad sez if there wasn’t oil in the Middle East they would all be fighting over who stole whose camel and no one would give a flying turkey trot what happened there.
And yet Archimedes was doing calculus prior to Christ.
