Comments on: BBC’s Science and Islam: The Empire of Reason (Episode 2) http://blog.legendarylife.com/bbcs-science-and-islam-the-language-of-science-episode-2 A life of distinction is worth recording!

European historian have tried very hard to deny, or expunge, the record of the influence of Islamic scholars on Europe. Europeans preached the LIE of racial/cultural superiority to justify exploiting and terrorize other people. e.g. Crusades, Inquisition, Latin America, Holocaust to name a few. The sad part is that some of these events took place in the name of Christianity. The Islamic influence on Europe clearly invalidates the European racist claims. That's one reason the historians tried to deny that integral part of their history. Your comments shows how well you have been brainwashed by Eurocentric texts.

The Nobel Prize was established in 1895, the Islamic Empire lasted from the 6th century to till 1923 (if you include the Ottoman Empire), there is no real cross between them. The era of colonization (lead by Catholics since the Crusades) was hell-bent on destroying any and all traces of "ancient" civilizations in order to feel superior even though most scientists at the time fully referenced work that originated from Arabic texts put together by the Islamic Empire during their "Translation Movement". We ALL owe the Islamic Empire a debt of gratitude for its desire to explore and learn from the cultures it both conquered and traded with. All humans are equal, Jewish, Catholic, Hindi or Muslim and to state anything different only shows ignorance about our past collective heritage. The truth is indifferent regarding superiority. If Muslims cannot read, as you say, can you explain to me how they are able to read the Koran? I look forward towards hearing your theory. You need to get your dates straight.

The false teaching of the sciences of islam are just another opologetic lie in order to feed at least that 10% of muslims that can even read, something to make them feel equal, no not that, better, supereor, supreme, isn't that what it's all about for them? Make someone submit and you are someone.
