The Moon god? For the sake of accuracy, I hope you don't believe that all of those inventions were not a product of the Islamic world. They were. Islamic Scholars, for a few hundred years, many hundreds of years ago, were the bellwethers of scientific thought.

This move to fundamentalism, specifically "wahhabism" (they call it "muwahhidun"), is a relative newcomer. It started in the 18th Century (that's the 1700s for those of you in Rio Linda). This is the branch of Islam from which most of the loonies come.
