How Muslims believed earth was spherical long before anybody mentions it.
RE: How Muslims believed earth was spherical long before anybody mentions it.
Your chosen reference specifically refutes what you said:

My bolding.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth

The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl is common in pre-scientific societies.[1]
My bolding.

Your claim that no one believed that the earth was spherical before the Quran was multiply refuted.
Your backup position that a spherical earth was a minority position in classical Greece was not supported.

I see you are following the same strategy as the Americans did in their withdrawal from Vietnam: Declare victory and leave the field.

I can understand your leaving. Goodbye.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
