Without Muslims you wouldn’t have: - Coffee - Cameras - Experimental Physics - Chess - Soap - Shampoo - Perfume/spirits - Irrigation - Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons - Combination locks - Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.) - Surgical instruments - Anesthesia - Windmill - Treatment of Cowpox - Fountain pen - Numbering system - Algebra/Trigonometry - Modern Cryptology - Crystal glasses - Carpets - Checks - University - Optics - Toothbrush - Hospitals - Bathing - Quilting - Mariner’s Compass - Soft drinks - Pendulum - Braille - Cosmetics - Plastic surgery - Calligraphy - Manufacturing of paper and cloth It was a Muslim who realized that lightENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought weEMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery. It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit. It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modernChemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid. It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics. It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle. It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today. It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebraand Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300years later to Fibonnaci and the rest. It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500years before Galileo did. The list goes on……….. Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy Mc Veigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!
