That’s an example.
As are Two,3,4,5, 6,7,8,9, and zero.

As are Two,3,4,5, 6,7,8,9, and zero.
‘Arabic’ was just the name given to this set of numerals when the West became aware of them through Arab traders on the old Silk Road. The numerals first appear in Sanskrit records from Northern India that pre-date the bible let alone the Koran. You can give credit to Muslims fro transmitting them if you like, but they did not invent them.

Yes, indeed, the Muzzies did invent the ZERO! Plague on their house!

Hogwash. The Egyptians and Romans had numerals long before Mohammerhead ever conned his perverted countrymen into believing he was some kind of prophet. And mathematics existed long before the Middle Ages anyway.

The numerals you're describing are ARABIC, but they're certainly not muslim.

Exactly. Islam has offered the world nothing but death and destruction, as would befit a religion authored by satan.

And to wrap it up with “zero”. Seriously?
