""Many crucial systems such as algebra, Arabic numerals and the concept of the zero (vital to the advancement of mathematics) were transmitted to medieval Europe from Islam. "

And lately, what has Islam accomplished? The entire GDP - minus oil - of the Middle East is less than that of Finland.

Arabs can't even build a washing machine and probably wouldn't know what to do with it if they did.

The roughly 200 million Arabs look down upon all other Muslims. Muslim children must learn the Koran in Arabic even though they don't have any idea what the words mean.

Muhammad was illiterate, had visions and scribes wrote those visions down - some accurately some inaccurately.

There is no chronology to the Koran - it appears to be arranged "largest first, smallest last."

The practice of Islam today proposes that all civilizations regress to the 6th century. It ain't gonna happen - get over it.

...rock and roll was born here[Memphis]...

Its really funny when homegrown FOREIGNERS like Bima Said presume to know ANYTHING about the origins of American Culture and then publically demonstrate they are IGNORANT TURD-WORLDERS[sic].

Even a cursory look reveals information from Gospel Music, Chess Records, 1950's Cleveland Dee-Jays and singles such as Rocket-88 none of which have anything to do with Memphis and the much beloved World Famous Grand Ole Opry.

This propaganda article is probably written for a gullible audience who do not have any basic knowledge of U.S.History much less World History and have a optimum reading level of a 12 year old and/or are functionally illiterate.

The author states:

1."History provides many examples of Muslim tolerance toward other faiths, such as when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem in the year 634, Islam granted freedom of worship to all religious communities in the city.
<b Yeah, You bet! as long a yearly indemnity was paid and any worship other than islam was conducted surreptitiously in back alleys.Also,try getting into Saudi Arabia with a Israeli entry permit stamped in your passport and a couple of Arabic New Testaments in your suitcase.And how about asking Coptic Christians in Egypt,Christians in Pakistan,Indonesia,Yemen,and any Arab Christians that have not immigrated to the U.S in Palestine about "islamic TOLERANCE"

2."In Islam, there is no racism and everyone is considered equal in the sight of God, the only difference being in one's piety."

Tell that to the Dark Skinned People of the Southern Sudan and the Darfur Region.
