Hi all,
I would like to ask you to study the back ground of the current conditions. Just read carefully the following facts before judging others:
Current Facts:
- Islamic world representing 23% of the world population. It includes more than 55 nations with different local cultures. For example, could you compare Turkey and Tunisia with Iran and Saudi Arabia? Or could you compare the UAE (very rich country) with Yemen (very poor country)? Generalizing against Islamic world seems silly idea.
- In last century, 137 Millions of people were killed in wars, only 3 millions in Islamic world! The rest of the victims were in Europe and Africa (2WW: 51 million Victims).
- Hitler, Nazi, Zionism, Fascism, KKK, Holocaust, ethic cleansing, concentration camps, Nuclear and chemical attacks … all are products of the Western Civilization or Judeo-Christian culture. This means every civilization and every culture have good and ugly face.
- The entire Islamic world is secular except Saudi Arabia and Iran (even many Muslims do not agree with their laws).
- Women have in many Muslims countries similar rights to the man: Turkey, Tunisia, Algeria, Syrian , Iraq (before the occupation) , Malaysia … etc
- There are 100 wars in Africa, just the victims of Rwanda within two months are more than the victims of all the wars in Islamic in last 30 years! Media rarely care about that.
- Slavery in Africa link with local culture , also Christian involve in most of slavery trading , just check this site of BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3131400.stm
Why media rarely mention that? Because the evil criminals using the Bible to justify the slavery, raping and murdering of kids.
Historical back ground of the current situation:
- Rise of Civilization 7th century -13 the century: The Islamic civilization rises in the 7th century and became the dominant civilization till the 15the century …
Examples of Islamic civilization:
- Baghdad was the center of the world in the 9th century. It population around two millions.
- The first translation university was built in Baghdad in the 9th century. It was called (Dar Al Hikmah) or Wisdom House. They translated hundred thousands of Greek, Persian, Roman, Hebrew, and Indian documents and books to Arabic.
- For the first time, Jews, Muslims and Christian succeeded to live in peace in liberal (semi democratic society) in Spain in the 10th century.
- Many schools of laws were established in 11th and 12 century.
- The largest Islamic State is Indonesia (20% of Muslims in the world), no Islamic army reached this State. The people converted to Islam due to economical relations, the same as Malaysia and SE Asia.
Islamic civilization and Science
Specific Muslims scientists and their contribution in human civilization:
- Alhazen, is considered as the father of modern Optics:

House of Wisdom set up in Baghdad. There Greek and Indian mathematical and astronomy works are translated into Arabic.
About 810
Al-Khwarizmi writes important works on arithmetic, algebra, geography, and astronomy. In particular Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala (Calculation by Completion and Balancing), gives us the word "algebra", from "al-jabr". From al-Khwarizmi's name, as a consequence of his arithmetic book, comes the word "algorithm".
About 850
Thabit ibn Qurra makes important mathematical discoveries such as the extension of the concept of number to (positive) real numbers, integral calculus, theorems in spherical trigonometry, analytic geometry, and non-euclidean geometry.
About 850
Thabit ibn Qurra writes Book on the determination of amicable numbers which contains general methods to construct amicable numbers. He knows the pair of amicable numbers 17296, 18416.
About 900
Abu Kamil writes Book on algebra which studies applications of algebra to geometrical problems. It will be the book on which Fibonacci will base his works.
About 900
Abu Kamil writes Book on algebra which studies applications of algebra to geometrical problems. It will be the book on which Fibonacci will base his works.
920
Al-Battani writes Kitab al-Zij a major work on astronomy in 57 chapters. It contains advances in trigonometry.
About 960
Al-Uqlidisi writes Kitab al-fusul fi al-hisab al-Hindi which is the earliest surviving book that presents the Hindu system.
About 970
Abu'l-Wafa invents the wall quadrant for the accurate measurement of the declination of stars in the sky. He writes important books on arithmetic and geometric constructions. He introduces the tangent function and produces improved methods of calculating trigonometric tables.
976
Codex Vigilanus copied in Spain. Contains the first evidence of decimal numbers in Europe.
About 990
Al-Karaji writes Al-Fakhri in Baghdad which develops algebra. He gives Pascal's triangle.
About 1000
Ibn al-Haytham (often called Alhazen) writes works on optics, including a theory of light and a theory of vision, astronomy, and mathematics, including geometry and number theory. He gives Alhazen's problem: Given a light source and a spherical mirror, find the point on the mirror were the light will be reflected to the eye of an observer.
About 1010
Al-Biruni writes on many scientific topics. His work on mathematics covers arithmetic, summation of series, combinatorial analysis, the rule of three, irrational numbers, ratio theory, algebraic definitions, method of solving algebraic equations, geometry, Archimedes' theorems, trisection of the angle and other problems which cannot be solved with ruler and compass alone, conic sections, stereometry, stereographic projection, trigonometry, the sine theorem in the plane, and solving spherical triangles.
About 1020
Ibn Sina (usually called Avicenna) writes on philosophy, medicine, psychology, geology, mathematics, astronomy, and logic. His important mathematical work Kitab al-Shifa' (The Book of Healing) divides mathematics into four major topics, geometry, astronomy, arithmetic, and music.

Causes of the fall of Islamic civilization:
- Crusaders wars: 200 years of religious catholic wars against Muslims, Jews and orthodox Christian. These wars exhausted the ME societies.
- Mongolian wars: Before the end of crusaders wars, Mongolian invaded the East. They destroyed Baghdad, killed 800000 people and burn its well known library.
- Fall of Spain: Muslims lost Spain in the end of 15th after 800 years of great civilization. Spanish changed the trading from ME to South Africa, which had great economical impact.
- Islamic scholars stopped developing the laws since 14 century, which made many of them not suitable for modern societies.
- Ottoman Empire, ruled the Islamic world recently. They faced many wars with Russia, Romania, Balkan, Greece, UK, France, Egypt …
Historical background of current situation:
- The imperialist western countries occupation the third world countries including the Islamic world. Some countries as Algeria lost 3 million people to get independence … other countries as Palestine, the people replaced by the European Jews (ethic cleansing)
- The Imperialist countries withdraw from the Islamic world in 50s and 60s, they left puppet dictators ruling these countries: Suhartu : Indonesia, Shah: Iran , Bu Raqiba : Tunisia …..
- Imperialist countries never care about the right of nations, and they supported the dictators (as Bush admit recently) for decades against the will of nations.
- Israel was inserted by FORCE in the region and by FORCING the Palestinian to leave their homeland. Western countries are responsible about the tragedy of Palestinian especially, UK, France and USA. This is considered as symbol of western aggression against people of the east.
- During cold war, Islamic world in general supported USA: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt (after 1973), Malaysia, Iran (before 1979) … without support of these major Islamic countries, the results of cold war could be not the same. Islamic world stopped the expansion of communism, only South Yemen with population less than half of million was communist country! (Beside former Soviet republics and Albania)
- Many people who hate their pro West dictators supported the Left and communist groups as alternative to those bloody dictators in 60s, 70s and mid 80s.
- After the fall of USSR, many people believed in Islam as alternative to protect them from those dictators and from the imperialism.
- More than 90% of Islamic groups and parties accepted the democracy as part of Islamic political system (as in Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Malaysia…)
- Only few small extremist groups are supporting to target the civilians, those groups were supported during the war of Afghanistan by USA and the West to face the Communism
