I've been following a series of programs on PBS about Muslims, their faith, devotions, and their dissidents who speak about about various topics of interest. Tonight they had a profile of a woman "America at a Crossroads." who was an outspoken critic of how women were treated in mainly Muslim countries.
She remarked, at some point, how Muslims had invented many (things) that contributed to the success of Muslim countries. I wondered what these things were because, frankly, I can't recall a single Islamic inventor who is noted in history as contributing to the benefit of mankind. I was stumped to think of a single person.
Can someone help me here? Why can't I think of any person or device that made a significant difference toward the advancement of medicine, manufacturing, telecommunications, etc.
Well?
