No problem. Let's mention that as well in our encyclopedias and history books because a hundred or 1000 y from now, nobody is going to remember the details of the 21th century. Future generations would like to know about these generalities. How many muslims reject abiogenesis? How many reject evolution theory? How many believe that fasting during the ramadan improves your health?
What about those who are scientists and also muslim. What do they think about abiogenesis and evolution theory and the big bang theory?
It looked like the couple of muslims that are commenting here did not want to state that muslims shut down arabic scientific progress long ago. They did not mention that arab muslims have destroyed the library of Alexandria and some portion of the texts survived their destruction.
It's the same problem with marketing. They show you how great the iPhone is but they don't mention to you its limitations, its defects, its lifespan. It is as if they don't want to tell us the bad news.
