Quran says Earth is flat or Muslims belive edarth is flat -this is one those ridiculos charge some rediff scholors throw at Muslims.The truth should be told louder now

Actually,Earth is belived to be flat by Europeans until Muslims rescued them from this theory
Your school text books wont say science history, for real science , you should look into peer reviewd premier science magazines like American Scientist
Dana Mackenzie , a Princeton Mathematician writes in the premier science magazine -American Scientist - The Magazine of Sigma XI,The Scientific reasearch society
He says

.....At a time when Europeans believed that the Earth was flat, Muslim scientists knew how to correct for the Earth's curvature. Two recently discovered instruments have proved that Islamic mathematicians were even further ahead of their time than anyone knew....
