Let’s say this is all true, then WTF happened to them so that they now live like animals in the desert with no advancements for 800 years.
1. Afghanistan....tradition of graduating police/guards slaughtering their teachers.
2. Iraq....innovative use of giant plastic grinder on miscreants.
3. Iraq....invention of the "butt glue" to eliminate homosexuality.
4. The rest (57 - 3 = 54 states)... Seventh grade education with a seventh century mindset.
Exactly right. The last 500 years saw the age inventions and progress in science. We know about the European and American contributions. Where are the contributions in these areas from the non-European and American areas of the world. Few and far between. It's an interesting question. If Islamic countries supposedly invented and came up with so many inventions and scientific contributions, why have they contributed next to nothing for the last 500-800 years? And why don't these non-Muslim defenders of Islam ask themselves that question?
It's not. Virtually ALL of the so-called contributions to civilization by muslims, were in fact invented by others.
Even the most ballyhooed “contribution”, algebra, was actually created by the Nestorian Christians whom the muslims conquered. The muslims exploited the inventions they acquired through conquest, but like any culture that fails to develop its own brainpower, eventually those “contributions” fell into disuse because they couldn't be understood/maintained/replicated by later generations.
No infrastructure, no natural resources, no manufacturing capabilities, no building materials, neighbors that wanted to steal all your stuff and kill you, no water, no leadership, no schools, very hard just to stay alive in such a crappy environment...just to name a few.
Why do you HATE Muslims? Don’t you know that but for critical contributions of Islamic scientists, Nijab Armstrongistan would have never walked on the moon? You think that backpack contained oxygen? Hah!
To the point.
After they invented everything and ran out of stuff to invent, they’re just kickin’ back.
Exactly..they have no place in a modern world..USELESS
