"You state, 'its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption.' The fundamental basis of modern mathematics had been laid down not hundreds but thousands of years before by Assyrians and Babylonians, who already knew of the concept of zero, of the Pythagorean Theorem, and of many, many other developments expropriated by Arabs/Muslims (see History of Babylonian Mathematics, Neugebauer)."

What Arab Civilization?
