Not soon enough, I’m afraid. Can anyone show me what benefit islam has ever had for humanity or culture - hospitals, charities, universitites, advancements in medicine or science? I know some great knowledge came out of the Arab world, but I believe that was all PRE-islam and PRE-mohammed. This worship of the “moon god” just has no place in civilization as we have known it for centuries, millenia. Wipe it all out before it’s too late.

They made some advances for about 200 years post-MoonBoy, then succumbed to the totalitarian dictates of his followers.

There an MIT-trained engineering professor named Pervez Hoodbhoy who has written some incredible stuff about “Islamic science”.

Like:

Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle for Rationality; Zed Books, London, 1992. ISBN 978-1856490252 (Translations in Arabic, Indonesian, Malaysian, Turkish, and Urdu)

Well, they have the most accurate way of determining a baby's sex before birth.

And there's that whole poison/cure fly in yer drink science thing.

And the moon is only 7 miles away.
