| Question:52 |
| If
Islam is evil how comes cities like
Cordoba
, and
Baghdad
became places of enlightenment in science and math and
medicine, and that Europeans were flocking to these places to
learn from these Arabs |
Yes I think Islam is evil
but that does not mean I am blind to all the art, wisdom and beauty
that the Muslims created. We are talking of two different things. You
have to show me how Islam influenced men such as Ibn Rushd, Ibn Sina,
Khayyam and Razi. We owe the greatness of what we call the Golden Age
of Islam to men like these. Can you prove that these men became grand
because they followed Islam? What part of the Quran teaches
Medicine, Algebra, Philosophy or Chemistry? Why should we credit Islam
for the talent and genius of our people? Do the Christians think
Darwin
,
Newton
and Galileo are the product of Christianity? Do the Jews attribute the
genius of Einstein or Espinosa to Judaism? I think all this
misunderstanding is the result of a deep sense of inferiority and a
desperation of Muslims to cling to Islam. They either try to find
miracles in the Quran or misappropriate the victories that has nothing
to do with Islam.
