no person denies the contributions that Muslim people made to science more then 1000 years ago.

The problem being that the actions of todays radical elements overshadow those contributions Jafar.

Muslims made contributions in chemistry, mathematics, astronomy and botany.

Those contributions will be forever diminished unless the muslim world cleans up it's act in how they are perceived by the world at large.
