Haha - of course not.
Just had an Indian head of maths department at my school (bloody genius), who always reminds me of the comedy character who ascribes everything to India
(Verandah - Hindian, Pajamas - Hindian).
I'll try to find the name of the Indian scholar, but he went on and on about him and showed us some examples of his work.

So you've experience of comparative study of the contributions to mathematical thought of different empires/kingdoms at the start of the 2nd millennium?
[I don't]
Do you live in the British Library?

Al-jabra was defined by Islamic scholars, but conceptually it had been around for centuries.
In fact another misnomer is that Arabs invented the concept of zero. They did not.
This is not to say that Arabs and Muslims did not play important parts in the development of mathematical understanding, but to be honest, Persians, Greeks, and Indians had already developed far more.
By the 1300s to 1600s Europe had taken Mathematics to a far higher level anyway.

OK - how about if I rephrased my thoughts as: "Science was evolving very nicely in those countries where Islam was dominant, controlling or had a powerful influence, until Mohammed bowled up."?
Yeah, Islamic societies were great until that fucking Mohamed showed up.

Re: Muslims march in Australia following Charlie Hebdo; For centuries, the Arabic/Islamic regions were leading the world in advancement of the sciences Al-gebra, the Al-phabet, astronomy (and navigation), arithmetic - you name it, up till about 1500 years ago, if it was worth doing the Islamic Arab scholars were doing it. Then Mohammed sticks his fucking oar in and it all goes to hell in a handcart. Not seeing the link there is about on par with denying the Holocaust.
Joke - even for WHO that is truly appalling concept of history. It's not even logical. There were no "Islamic scholars" before Prophet Mohamed. He lived 1500 years ago. So you are saying Islamic scholars were doing all this good stuff 1500 years ago before they actually existed... and the Mohamed stopped them doing it.
Totally illogical and lacking in any understanding of history.
Algebra was indeed originally developed by Arab-Muslim mathematicians around the year 1000. So, 500 years after Mohamed lived and died.
Hope that helps. I'm glad you understand the contribution to the enlightenment that Muslim scholars played but your timeline is all wrong.

Bit of a mistake to conflate 'Islamic' science with the science of civilisations that Islam conquered, including Babylonia, Persia and Byzantium.

I can just imagine how this is going down with your average white Aussie. They are not beyond setting up townships in the Outback and shipping out johnny foreigner and his rug. Maybe the promise of somewhere sunny and warm would even be quite attractive.

"the point is, Fifth, that Muslims dont seem to have a problem gathering people together for a march when it's about Israel of 'protecting the Prophet', while doing absolutely fuck all when yet another atrocity is carried out in the name of Islam. One would, perhaps, think that they'd be more concerned about someone chopping off someone else's head or shooting innocent people than a drawing. But then, it is Islam."
Gavros, unfortunately the British population don't seem to have a problem in NOT gathering people together when its about Britain.
The religious extremism of others is a great threat to this country.
But so is our own apathy.

So they are effectively condoning terrorism..which we have known all along.
I have no issue with them marching peacefully over the publications, which is what a civilised society would do. But what they are doing now is a piss take..
