@balaord, Havn't you learnt how to read english? or is it just the inherent tendency of your folk to twist everything to suit your interests??? Nowhere in the article is it mentioned that Muslims laid the foundation of modern science. The statement you are referring to is as follows and i quote.. "But the foundations of modern science were laid long before this time, and were particularly influenced by Islamic civilization. The Muslims were the leading scholars between the seventh and fifteenth centuries, and were the heirs of the scientific traditions of Greece, India and Persia"
They were the "heirs" of scientific traditions. which means muslims alrady got the necessary knowledge from the great civilizations mentioned above and razed them to the ground, branded everything as islamic and lo and behold!!!1 we have a new science...Its the basics Stupid..
