Islamic ceramics wow mathematicians

edward pilling

If you think about it.

What is tragic is that quite a few discoveries were invented by Arabs but yet abruptly stopped. Of course some people will point to the crusaders but the real reason is their culture was hijacked by Islam. Before you make out a death warrant for me. Religion is the reason many great ideas were destroyed or hidden. My case in point, Copernicus by math discovered that the earth revolves around the sun and not vis versa. Had he published it, he would have been burned at the stake. The ancient Mayans were brilliant in astronomy and math but because the worshipped the snake, most of their writings were destroyed by the conqisidors.

Its seems that anyone who says something contrary to what is in the Bible or Koran is put to death and all research is then destroyed.

It seems that the real enemy of man is not his brother but religion.
