Islam did not create Algebra, one of their oft cited innovations, rather they got it from India. I will not say they destroyed information (though they did burn a lot of 'blasphemous' material rathe indiscriminately) but they are not better than Ireland for preservation of records.
Jesus, Chuck, you've built quite a track record here when it comes to ignorance of history, Islamic history in particular. :lol:

TBH, I'm not surprised that many of the kuffar feel the need to resort to historical revisionism in an attempt to obstruct the spread of Islam.

You have an apalling level of ignorance and your indoctrination in Islamic dogma shows every time you discuss your "Faith"
Islamic history is straightforward - and very violent.
The creation of Algebra (not the word, but the concepts) is fundamentally from classical and Hindu sources, the Persian scholars who moved the Hindu innnovations west were a holdover of the cosmopolitan ideals from Alexander. Islamic intolerance eventually destroyed that legacy to the point that what was once the most advanced portion of the world, the 'Middle East', is now one of the most backward places on Earth.

Alexander's Greece is the foundation of modern thought.
Islam is the foundation of modern terror.
Big difference.
 
Their system of laws is the model for Britain and the US. Today in the US we have master survey documents that read almost the same as their ancient Roman models for preserving boundary monuments and easements for public utilities.

Not correct. Britain and the US have a common law system of law. The Romans were the originators of the Civil Law system of law that is dominant throughout most of Europe.
 
Evidence of Stone Age amputation forces rethink over history of surgery - Times Online

Scientists unearthed evidence of the surgery during work on an Early Neolithic tomb discovered at Buthiers-Boulancourt, about 40 miles (65km) south of Paris. They found that a remarkable degree of medical knowledge had been used to remove the left forearm of an elderly man about 6,900 years ago — suggesting that the true Flintstones were more developed than previously thought.

The patient seems to have been anaesthetised, the conditions were aseptic, the cut was clean and the wound was treated, according to the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap).

The revelation could force a reassessment of the history of surgery, especially because researchers have recently reported signs of two other Neolithic amputations in Germany and the Czech Republic. It was known that Stone Age doctors performed trephinations, cutting through the skull, but not amputations. “The first European farmers were therefore capable of quite sophisticated surgical acts,” Inrap said. The discovery was made by Cécile Buquet-Marcon and Anaick Samzun, both archaeologists, and Philippe Charlier, a forensic scientist.

It followed research on the tomb of an elderly man who lived in the Linearbandkeramik period, when European hunter-gatherers settled down to agriculture, stock-breeding and pottery. The patient was important: his grave was 2m (6.5ft) long — bigger than most — and contained a schist axe, a flint pick and the remains of a young animal, which are evidence of high status.

The most intriguing aspect, however, was the absence of forearm and hand bones. A battery of biological, radiological and other tests showed that the humerus bone had been cut above the trochlea indent at the end “in an intentional and successful amputation”. Mrs Buquet-Marcon said that the patient, who is likely to have been a warrior, might have damaged his arm in a fall, animal attack or battle.

“I don’t think you could say that those who carried out the operation were doctors in the modern sense that they did only that, but they obviously had medical knowledge,” she said.

A flintstone almost certainly served as a scalpel. Mrs Buquet-Marcon said that pain-killing plants were likely to have been used, perhaps the hallucinogenic Datura. “We don’t know for sure, but they would have had to find some way of keeping him still during the operation,” she said.

The discovery demonstrates that advanced medical knowledge and complex social rules were present in Europe in about 4900BC, and that major surgery was likely to have been more common than we realised, Mrs Buquet-Marcon said.
