What Do Coffee Beans, Torpedoes, Surgical Scalpels, Arches And Observatories All Have In Common?

Question

Here is a clue:

The cutting-edge surgeon Al-Zahrawi, known in the west as Abulcasis, introduced more than 200 surgical tools in his medical encyclopaedia. He included illustrations and detailed information on how and when each instrument was to be used.

Did you know that nearly every medical book by Muslims a thousand years ago covered most aspect of eye diseases?

Muslim ophthalmologists of the 10th to 13th centuries were performing operations, dissecting, discovering, and writing about their findings in textbooks and monographs.

See the many different medical journals written 1000 years ago that still exist today.

Muslim medics wrote voluminous handbooks, many of which were translated into Latin. One of these was the ‘Canon’ by Ibn Sina, which remained a primary reference for centuries.

Answer 1

cool Im gonna be a heart surgeon XD

Answer 2

Didn't know that. Coffee beans, torpedos?
Looking further into this. Of the surgical tools,
Which ones are in use today?
What I seen was they cut them up and seen how they work but did they fix the disease? Wasn't it more a lab rat experiment rather than a cure? They wrote about how the eye worked by cuting it up. That is not really the point of a medical book.
But I will look into that. Back to the history section.

Answer 3

It is interesting to note: Cultures with marginal populations make the most discoveries in medicine. Why??? Because those doctors can buy a living being to experiment on and noone speaks up for them! This happens whenever there is a ruling class and a throw-away class.

Wanna guess who the guinea pigs are today?

Answer 4

This is a whine.

Do you know how many books have been written since the concept of writing books started? What is the proportion of
books written by muslims and how many are factual?

Look at the stuff written in Islam etc and take it with a pinch of salt. Have we had to depend on muslims to write books?

History books state that muslims burnt hindu literature that was the oldest form of literature in India when they invaded and ruled india for so long.

Whine whine whine.

Let me go back to your question. I think you need eyes to see all this whether it is torpedos, coffee beans or literature burnt by muslims, or bombs thrown on innocent people or women captured and raped.

All of these things need eyes to see and understand the common factor.

Answer 5

Your question reveals how a state sponsored religion can lobotomize whole generations with arrogant control and remove all the greatness of their past from the worlds common knowledge. when ever they see the light they will overthrow and behead the right people for a change.

Answer 6

Actually, the Egyptians had fairly advanced medical abilities too, well in advance of the Muslim faith. There are numerous records of ancient Egyptian healers operating on head injuries, and there have been found a number of mummies with metal plates (usually silver) in their skulls.

Answer 7

i don't think any intelligent thoughtful non muslim questions the value of islamic culture and its many contributions to the human experience. what we'd appreciate now is your taking your radical brothers and sisters in hand and having them express their frustration in a more constructive and peaceful way. discipline and compromise are important. anyone can be reactive, unreflective and homocidal.

Answer 8

Mayan culture had observatories, and never had contact with Muslims. What are you trying to prove? Muslims started some things that the rest of the world perfected. No big deal.

Answer 9

I might add that the Bible lists many scientific facts, such as ligning up with the Big Bang theory.

Answer 10

No, ARABS came up with this stuff. Islam had nothing to do with this. The implication of this is that we should be nice to Muslims. Following this through, we should be nasty to the descendants of those who committed atrocities in Nazi Germany??
