Any two of N French mathematicians , where N is a large number, are worth more than 1000 Muslim anythings.
Islam, you are a symbol of evil.

Firnas is said to be the first person who tried to fly. I'm sure the first human to try to fly was a resident of Africa's Rift Valley given the choice between leopard or cliff.

National geographic is not part of the Government, Still one has to wonder why they put on this fantasy exhibit.
National geographic is usually pretty much based on fact, why would they display artistically developed fiction.

Re: Pamela Geller, PJ Media: 1001 Pieces of Islamist Propaganda: Fabricated Exhibit Comes to D.C.
(J. Christian) Adams eight-year-old daughter seeing the exhibit, did not notice all the weasel words:
She was convinced that the Wright Brothers were not the first to fly, and instead it was Firnas launched from the mosque at Cordoba a millennium ago. This would not be the only instance when thought corrupted the language of the exhibit, which in turn corrupted thought, at least among the more impressionable.
By creating a childrens attraction, the exhibit is fostering a subliminal brainwashing that will move into the public schools as well.

Pamela Geller: 1001 pieces of Islamic supremacist propaganda: fabricated exhibit comes to D.C.
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/08/pamela-geller-1001-pieces-of-islamic-supremacist-propaganda-fabricated-exhibit-comes-to-dc.html
...The exhibit is almost unfailingly dishonest. As Adams explains, even if everything it says about Muslim inventions were true, it does not and cannot explain why Muslims never followed up on these inventions. If Firnas was really the first to fly, why did it fall to the Wright Brothers 1000 years later to follow up on what he supposedly discovered about how to do it? Why werent Muslims flying around in airplanes centuries before the Wright Brothers were born?
If, as Adams also recounts, Muslims really invented the camera as the exhibit claims, why dont we have snapshots of Saladin and Suleiman the Magnificent? Why did we have to wait for Daguerre and Niepce?
1001 Muslim Inventions raises more questions about the decline of Muslim civilization than it answers, yet projects like 1001 Muslim Inventions have support at very high levels. Remember in June 2010 when Charlie Bolden, the NASA chief appointed by President Obama, revealed that Obama had asked him to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering?
The truth: what contributions?
The bottom line: the inventions and discoveries attributed to the Muslim world were actually stolen from conquered peoples. The 1001 Muslim Inventions exhibit is not history, it is propaganda, and the foolish infidels keep lining up enthusiastically for more.

In all fairness there was a brief Golden Age of Islam where the Islamic world did produce some useful things- decent advances in math (arab numerals anyone?) and some chemistry (although it, like European chemistry advances later, was really alchemy). That golden age came to an end in 1258 when the Mongols wiped Baghdad from the face of the Earth. And yeah, the Caliph in Baghdad had it coming.
That said, from 1259 onward Islam has been an intellectual black hole and shows absolutely no sign of improving.
After reading the article this sounds like a case of trying to improve Islam's image. I ain't buying' it.
I wonder if the people putting on the exhibit appreciate the hideous irony that the most recent Islamic achievements they can tout (fakes and all) took place 800 years ago...
Islam delenda est.

His first attempt which has passed into legend took place when he leapt from the minaret of the Great Mosque in Cordoba. Equipped with a glider with wooden struts, he managed to fly and landed more or less unharmed. "That's not flying! That's falling with style!"

“...consider the argument I had with my 8-year-old after leaving the exhibit. She was convinced that the Wright Brothers were not the first to fly, and instead it was Firnas...”

Most islamic countries allow, (sometimes hidden), slavery.
That’s all anyone really needs to know about the advances of the “muslim world.”
