Who else says the "The arab-muslim scientific legacy"?

Question

as depicted here:
http://www.total.com/energies/N9/en/culture/index.htm

is entirely FALSE and MADE UP, it was not the Arabs, but the ancient Tamils who have drawn some diagrams that we ourselves are not able to decipher till now, and the REAL SYMBOLS as used in those diagrams are NOT what is depicted in the picture, for the picture in the media is an UNTRUTH of METAPHOR (not the TRUTH), and the symbols closely coincide with the shape of Tamil letters of alphabet? If they tell you "Arab Muslim Islamic contributions to science" you can boldly say "THEY DID NOTHING" All are UNTRUTHS LIES CHEAT and DECEIT. The truth is hidden, just as all truths are.

Answer 1

Well.... whatever you think, these contributions are REAL, and all you need is just take off this veil of fanaticism to see them. Muslims might be asleep these days but they never die.

Answer 2

During the Dark and Middle Ages, so-called 'Christianity' had made anb idol of ignorance, seemingly. The Arabs, or 'Moors' (from Morrocan) who had invaded and held most of Spain, were the ones who encouraged scientific and mathematical advances. For instance, do you know the difference between 'Roman numerals' and 'Arabic numerals'? I wouldn't want to have to calculate with Roman numerals! (Something like the difference between pounds, feet, yards and inches on one hand, hand the metric system on the other! No one civilization can lay claim to most scientific advances. Most civilizations made significant contributions. Both Romans and Arabs received a lot from the Greeks, - the Arabs, particularly, developed it when Christian Europe had fallen intellectually asleep. The time came when tables would turn, and the Arab civilization turned to intellectual darkness and Western Europe made great advances. Let's not let racial or cultural pride get in the way of truth. That's the kind of thing that will lead us back into the dark ages. - And we're in danger of that now!

Answer 3

Thanks for the website.

Yes, the Tamils did develop, discover, and invent a lot of stuff, but so did the Arabs.

Just because you see similarities between the two deosnt mean it was copied from them or wrongly attributed to the Arabs. They might have taken some, improved it, made new discoveries in that field, and so on.

But you seem to be motivated by prejudice...
