LOL . . . the compulsion to create at the core of competitive capitalism made everything on that list inevitable.

Economy past simple barter of a chunk of deer meat for a sharpened stick - money itself, for that matter, originated where? Hell, where do you think God and Satan were born, domesticated animals, writing, and living in something other than a hut made out of reeds leaning against a log?

Granted, that all predates Islam, but if it wasn't for those people, Europeans would still be running around half naked with deer hide loincloths looking under rocks for grubs and other nutritious fair.

Capitalism consists of something more than the remarkable ability to use ochre for cave paintings.

Thanks for doing it for me because I don’t feel like arguing with these people anymore

It doesn't matter much anyways, because they're not here to have an actual discussion and learn, they're here just to exhaust everybody else.

Um . . . okay?

My mistake, I misread 'inevitable" as " irrelevant"
Major egg on my face,,,

Completely true, however you cannot deny that the Islamic Golden Age brought along many of these things, and that itself WAS because of Muslims...

Also, you can both oppose Islamic extremism & even not want it in your country and also at least respect their accomplishments, they are not mutually incompatible...

How is she in a photograph that was taken in 1978 when she was born in 1982?

Conservatives always forget that their lies can be easily debunked

And yes we know that racist conservatives hate diversity because they are scared of black and brown people

I never understood that.

My fave was one years ago where one comment that just said "lol" got 5 upvotes, while the OP meme got only 2, and 1 of those 2 was from me well after the comment with the 5 points.

I’m as confused as you bro

Perhaps it's because of the government shutdown, they're saving their points just in case.

Oh?

Points are a highly valued commodity, have to horde them for a rainy day.

Ah

I will admit that this image is NOT 100% accurate but many of the listed inventions or discoveries were indeed influenced or developed by Muslim scholars, especially during the Islamic Golden Age (8th–14th centuries). Some examples:

Algebra: from Al-Khwarizmi, whose works shaped modern mathematics.
Camera theory: Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) discovered that light enters the eye, which inspired the pinhole camera concept.
Chemistry: Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) did pioneering work in distillation and purification.
Surgical instruments and anesthesia: developed by Al-Zahrawi.
Crankshaft and mechanical devices: from Al-Jazari, an early engineer and inventor.
Trigonometry and optics: significantly advanced by Muslim mathematicians.

Some things on that list weren’t invented by Muslims, though Muslims contributed to improving or spreading them:

Coffee: came from Ethiopia, but Yemenis popularized it.
Cameras, checks, paper, and cloth: existed before Islam, though Muslim societies refined or mass-produced them.
Flying in 852: Abbas ibn Firnas did attempt flight, but it wasn’t sustained or technologically advanced.
The Earth being round: known by ancient Greeks before Islam (for example, Aristotle and Eratosthenes).

So while Muslims didn’t invent everything listed, they played an enormous role in preserving, enhancing, and transmitting knowledge to Europe.

The overall message of the image is that Muslims contributed massively to world progress is true.
But the specific list is a mix of accurate facts, overstatements, and a few myths.

(Also check the sources listed in the image)

if we Muslims didn't exist, 9/11 would've still happened

I wonder why

Right on 💯%!
