The last thing of note they did was invent zero

Even that's in dispute.

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).

Thanks for the responses folks. I appreciate the information.

Thanks also for that link, ‘What Arab Civilization?’

Rather sad isn’t it. Or perhaps rather vile is more like it.

Good grief...
