The history of the number and the numeral zero dates to pre-Islamic times, and credit probably best belongs to Indian mathematicians. The methods of algebra trace back to ancient Babylonia.

[Petronski]

Uh...they invented the zero. That's about it.

There's more recent evidence that they imported that from India.

[agere_contra]

Yep. Zero comes (IIRC) from the area near the Deccan traps.

[G8 Diplomat]

Ah...so they invented zero. Nothing. Zip.

Yep, that’s “mass contributions” to Western civilizations allright /s

[G8 Diplomat]

...and lights up it’s national buildings in NYC green to honour it’s muslim population!

[Mr. Mojo]

I suspect if I lived in Londonistan it would sure seem like there were 15 billion of them.

This is a warning to the GOP—do NOT court American Muslims...ever. No matter what politics they appear to espouse, their true allegiance is and will always be to the “Qur’an” and “Sharia.

Never mind - fair minded, honourable countries like yours and mine often do stupid things to patronise minorities, but we are both learning not to! :)

‘I suspect if I lived in Londonistan it would sure seem like there were 15 billion of them.’

38% of the UK muslim population lives in London, so that’s 600,000 of a total London metro population of 12m. The muslims are now getting overrun by the Poles! :)
