Nobody denies the genius of the Arab scientist/mathematician (name, anyone?) of the Arab who gave us the numbering system. Nobody who ever played chess denies the genius of the inventor of the game.
Nobody denies they were Arabs/Muslims.

I do. I deny they were Muslims. I think only an idiot would believe they were Muslim.
OK, so you would prefer the Roman numbering system that made the last Super Bowl exlicks? You know, XLIX.
You deny that that the numbering system we use was invented by Arabs, Muslims, or otherwise? Are you in the habit of refusing to give credit where it is due? Are you really the idiot here?
It is beyond debate that the numbering system we use was invented by Arabs. They may or may not have been Muslims when this unaccustomed and unusual and totally unexpected and surprising wisdom hit the normally mentally dormant Arabs, but nevertheless it was invented by Arabs.
Sad that ever since the invention of that wonderful numbering system their only contribution to humanity has been terror, murder, racism, misogyny, gay bashing, beheadings, stoneings, lashings, torture, "honor" killings, destruction, hate, anti-Semitism and the irrational and inexplicable resistance to bacon and ham.
