Look, props for not burning shit to the ground when the christers were...but...those guys were ignorant assholes. That's an awfully low bar. I have no idea why muslims copied their religion, of all religions.
I'll give you coffee...though, not so much as a discovery..more like the exploitation of a profitable market...but that shits great so good on ya.
I do agree that people today have nothing to do with people of the past. That is a different world.
Hey; that's why I hate nationalism anyways. We are not our parents. My ancestors' achievements were theirs; not mine.
That way Muslim scientists did contribute their share; and their contributions were huge. All the three contributions dominate the world now, everybody drinks coffee, all the world puts alcoholic perfumes -and some drink it-, and everybody uses math.
The Islamic nation contributed big, that my opinion, and so many don't give them that credit.
