"Muslims also invented the safety pin, didn't they?"

I'm not sure of that, but they are credited with inventing zero. This actually was quite a boon to mathematicians, but I think they've also invented zero ever since. Actually, it was "Arabics" who invented the concept of zero. I'm not sure Arabics equate with Muslims.
