what did the arabs bring to the world except mayhem and a backward religion ? apparently even the zero and the modern numbers are not from them, but orginate from india.

Actually quite a lot. Ever seen early Arab architecture? They acted as a bridge from the knowledge of the Greeks and Romans to the Renaissance, improving and contributing to that foundation, while Europe was in the Dark Ages. They were also at that time quite tolerant of other religions and cultures. The words algebra and algorithm have Arab roots which should tell you something. I could go on.
In fact you could say that Islam was the tolerant religion and Christianity the fundamentalist one back then.
The real shame is that they've turned their backs on that heritage and become crap again.Hard Brexit now!

HumusScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Your last statement is nearly right. Not all Muslims are raving loony nutcases. Beyond that I agree with you wholeheartedly.Comment
