Totally, completely, 100% incorrect information! Where do you get this nonsense from?
The oldest observatory in the world was excavated in north China's Shanxi province, and is believed to be 4,100 years old, predating the formerly oldest known observatory from South America.
What is well known is that the Arab world gave us our current number system, and the concept of zero.

u mean before building the stone Henge or just before building a real outer space obsorvatory?
if this is written in the holy quran,
let me make onething clear. this language(arabian) along with all theother languages had its origin from the Sanskrit as believed and proved by the scientists all over the world before a Century itself!
and surprisingly SANKSRIT is the easiest language for a feed to any scientefic computer in the world .
and what do you have to say for that ?
new things just popup man there is no proof for many of these (not about the computer language)
then how was aztec calander made till some date and stopped there ?did they knew our future.
how were the details of the openner heiroglyphed on the tomb of Nefreteti.
just probability ?it does not stop there!
how can the egyptians be so sure about the galaxy intermixing and the nebula galaxy if the muslims just built the observatory after the egyptian civilisation perished ?
some questions are some answers to some questions !
and what we know could just be a drop full of knowledge from the great ocean of it !

Once upon a time in a land far far away there was this little saying that the wise men had set forth into the tongues of men when verbal conflict arose, this saying was called... "Who gives a crap!" These words were very truthful in every way as the people of the land understood that when it is said it gave revelation that in the end it will never matter who did what and they came to the realization that everyone in the land contributed some way, shape or form -got over it...and it was good.

A completely incorrect information. Many years before Islam Hindus in India, Mayans in south America had observatories. And what about the stonehenge?
Yes Jack below is right, the Chinese have many ancient observatories too, they were built long before Islam.

dont tell it to them.. they wont accept that.. specially americans.. they cant take a single word in favour of muslims.. they r really angry at the 9/11 incident.. and for the guy with nick "super dork" suppose if there is another america and it attacks on u ppl sayin that u dont have real democracy, u dont have the right to choose ur leader and u dont have much to choose from.. only two parties with many political parties banned.. so we r gonna attack on u ppl.. what would be ur reaction.. definitely u'll get crazy n do whatever u can do.. its not the religion which is making muslims do that.. its just that muslims r beaten so brutely and ruled by other nations very roughly thats what makes them do all that u see..

The ancient civilizations in the Middle East had surprisingly sophisticated knowledge of the stars, and were a major repository of knowledge during Europe's Dark Ages.
Unfortunately, the situation has changed a great deal under the influence of Islam.

That's not true the observatories where first made before the muslim faith started, they were called Moslems in the early days.

Did you know that supposedly muhammed split the moon into 2 pieces? Did you know according to the koran the sun sets in a puddle of muddy water and the earth is flat?

It was my understanding that observatories in the middle east and other parts of the world preceded Muhammad.

Now u must have understood that ur information was wrong. Before u say anything in public, check its authenticity and be sure. Islam is great and its greatness need not be spread through lies. Whoever approaches it with an unbiased mind can surely see its beauty.
