Re: Another Stupid Peace Initiative for Israel/Arabs

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I don't know, maybe 5% of the Jewish contribution? [/ QUOTE ] Eh. For several centuries, Europe was a backwards shithole and the Muslim world was where most math/astronomy was developed, AFAIK. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, his statement is seriously messed up. The Arabs were focusing on math and science while Europeans were focusing on crusades, inquisitions, and church dogma. If I remember correctly they created the number representation for zero. They had a profound effect on math and science. [/ QUOTE ] Ok, let's play a little game. For every world-class Muslim/Arab mathematician you name, I'll list ten Jewish. GO.

If you do that I could probably go ahead and get another 20-30 names so you would have to get another couple hundred random Jewish names. What is that point? Just so everyone knows....I am not saying Jewish people are bad at math or bad at anything. All I am trying to say is that Arabs have had a historic influence on math and science. Jewish people have also had a profound influence on math and intelligence in general as well. |
