The invention of algebra. Algebra is an Arabic word. Algorithm is an Arabic word. Two thirds of the stars in the night sky that have Arabic names

A thousand years ago the intellectual center of the world was Baghdad. Baghdad. Europe was busy disemboweling Heretics at the time. Baghdad was open to all thought at the time, between AD 800 and 1100 around there. If you look at the advances that unfolded in that period in that location, it includes the invention of algebra. Algebra is an Arabic word. Algorithm is an Arabic word. Two thirds of the stars in the night sky that have names, have Arabic names. How does that happen just what where did the naming rights come from?

naming rights? Are you familiar with the person ITAMAR BEN
GVIR? his family background is IRAQI. Baghdad, until,
recently harbored such a significant jewish community that
some people called it a jewish city. They spoke arabic.
Back to astronomy----it was the Zoroastrians that devised
a written alphabet for arabic. ----zoroastrians---la la la we three
kings from orient are, .......la la la FOLLOWING YONDER STAR

Baghdad was open to all thought at the time,

And now the Muslim world isn't open to thought.

the zoroastrians fled to BOMBAY (mumbai)----as did lots of the
jews-----when da arabs BARGED IN---and continued to BARGE IN

Baghdad was open to all thought at the time,

And now the Muslim world isn't open to thought.

Right: While "Europe was busy disemboweling Heretics at the time."

Because a long, long time ago...clerics like Al Ghazali were doing to Islam and the Arabic world, what Christian Conservatives and Rightwing Christians Worldwide today are trying to do to the USA and the Western world.

Excuse for what?

Your inability to post without some weird projection is disturbing at times.

Not an apologist like you and making no excuses for anybody at all.

Sounds awful!
Who was doing all the infidel disemboweling in the last 400 years?
Where were all the intellectuals in the last 400 years?

Sorry something in the OP so badly triggered you. Not exactly sure what it could've been except maybe something positive about Islam throughout history.

The lessons implied? What happened to Islam and the Arab world can be and some say is happening in the Christian/Western World?

What triggered you and a few others: "A thousand years ago the intellectual center of the world was Baghdad." While "Europe was busy disemboweling Heretics." - something about a thousand years ago trigger you?


The OP:

Neil is fascinating here. No so much for what he discusses or addresses that may be unknown to people, but in how he strings disparate things together. Whats truly interesting to me is how here he soon addresses the religious culture wars -- the religious right in America and how it mirrors what we see in the fall of Islamic/Arabic wonders.

And the Sack of Baghdad. What was that about? Do people really know? Do they care?

It makes me laugh.
Muslims taking credit for things, over 1000 years ago, that they didn't do.

Have you heard the Muslims claiming that Muslims built the pyramids?

Actually no Muslims were doing so. Your usual hatred, and your habit of commenting on things you don't follow up or or read...

What a sad sac you truly are.

the term "projection" is one familiar to people who understand
human psychology----try not to use words that you do not understand
