Should we give muslims some credit for the discovery of america?

Question

No details. Just your opinion and knowledge of history

Answer 1

Well, if I remember correctly the Vikings were hear first. They should get the props. Redheads rejoice!

Answer 2

There were THREE discoveries of america, of which only one involved knowledge that was preserved by the muslim/arabic culture.

The first discovery wasn't so much a 'discovery' as a migration over the bering land bridge. Yes, remember, when the vikings showed up, there were ALREADY people here.

The second discovery was, as just mentioned, the vikings.

The third discovery is classically attributed to Columbus, but it's hardly a discovery when he went to his death bed believing he'd found india. However, the math and tools he used for navigation probably would not have been available had the knowledge of navigation been preserved by the arabic culture.

Answer 3

America is not found in the Bible. The word “America”, and there is a good reason for that.

Christopher Columbus left Spain and he didn't know where he was going. When he reached America, he didn't know where he was and when he got back to Spain, didn't know where he had been and that's like three-point sermon of some preachers today. God help us - but then Amerigo Vespucci came and the country was named after him, both North and South America. I'm glad we don't have to say, where are you from? - Amerigo. It’s America, but it was named after Vespucci. Now, in Revelation, we don't have a full description. We cannot go by the names of a nation because who knew that Amerigo Vespucci was going to found America, so we have to look for characteristics. Nothing in Isaiah 18, Jeremiah 50:51 and Revelation chapter 18 fit the descriptions and characteristics of Babylon, Iraq. So it's not Iraq. It is the United States of America. Let's give them a few examples.

Four different characteristics that I just gave to you. First, it's going to be a latter day Super Power.

That’s not Iraq. That's America and that's Jeremiah 50, verse 12.

Secondly, a great nation of wealth.

That’s Jeremiah 51, verse 7. In fact, when the wealth is being destroyed in Revelation chapter 18, verse 10, 17 and 19, it says, for in one hour is thy judgment come, for in one hour, so great riches has come to naught and for one hour, is she made desolate.

And a nation performing great space exploitations.

Oh, that's chapter 51 of Jeremiah, verse 53.

And lastly, a nuclear nation.

Jeremiah chapter 51, verses 53 and 58.

I see nothing about Islam or Muhommand or Muslims, or the Quran..here....

.Good Q*.

Answer 4

No. When did the Muslims discover America? Looks more like the Vikings found it first.

Answer 5

OK, i think there is a theory that Native Americans originally (10 or 20 thousand years ago) came from the Middle East. I doubt they were Muslim though, because Judaism (which is the religion Islam branched from) is only about 6 thousand years old.

I think that's what you mean...

Answer 6

I would say the Native Americans discovered it long before Vikings or Columbus.

Answer 7

Sorry dude, the dutch, spainish, anglish, and the french discovered the Americas. We should give credit to the Native americans like the Souix and the Cherokee.

Answer 8

Well, considering a Viking discovered this land mass before Christopher Columbus did, I'd have to say no.

Answer 9

Muslims introduced destruction and dying via out civilizations. Their rape and pillage of Byzantine Greece substitute right into a disaster for civilization and humanity. whilst Mohamed created the koran the scientific know-how is predicated on the pillaged greek scientific know-how. on a similar time because it had the main important on the time that call replaced during historic past. it extremely is silly to signify that europe had no food till now the arabs , which substitute into of course based on Greek food. drugs as mentioned substitute into taken from greek and roman docs, they added no longer something new. In philosophy as quickly as back based on greek subculture. arithmetic as quickly as back based on pillaged recommendations from greek/ roman civilization. You assume that without th invasion and destruction of roman subculture in Spain that those , issues does no longer exist, they did exist as they the two are based on know-how from the comparable place rome and greece it relatively is the main impressive lack of understanding which you think of course weren't in western subculture, you of course be attentive to no longer something approximately western historic past. Muslims have been given the belief of classes from Romans and greeks regrettably muslims consisting of your self are so centred on the koran that they are blind to the broader worldwide and how a lot Mohamed stole from western subculture to jot down his e book

Answer 10

That's a stretch, but I guess you could say that without the Moors, Castille and Aragon would never have united, and without that, Isabella and Ferdinand would not have agreed to sponsor Columbus's trips.
