I’ve no doubt that some algebra came from Islamic countries but to pretend that there was a Golden Age at any point is laughable.

Most of that part of the world didn’t join the 18th century until the 20th.

The “Muslim golden age” is a myth invented by the same people who claimed native Americans were peaceful, Africans were kangz, Slavery was a uniquely western evil, etc
Same crew that said that the US political parties magically switched like 50 years ago?

Arabs did not actually invent zero; instead, the concept of zero as a full number was invented in India, with early placeholder versions developed independently by the Babylonians and the Mayans

Much of the “Arab” or “Muslim” breakthroughs were Jews, Zoroastrians, and Nestorians in the region. Many times non Arabs or non Muslims would take Muslim names to blend in. As Islam took firmer hold and inevitably became more fundamentalist, those breakthroughs ceased.

It’s no coincidence that the entire region has been a backwater ever since Islam drove out the other religions. Otherwise, what could explain the sudden and forever ending of this golden age?

This is the truth.They just conquered places that knew or researched shite prior to their arrival. FFS, we fight over hummus, but at least that's a decent fight.

Islam is a demonic religion founded by a insane demon possessed pedo.
