After it became Islamized, its fortune started falling.
So much so, even South Africa, a country which endured savaged onslaught of racism for centuries, quickly recovered and now overtaken Egypt as leader of Africa!

I can only pity you.Under Islamic civilization Egypt was not a seperate country - but part of huge flourishing civilization with Bagdhad as the capital and Damsacus as the capital for some time. Do you know the splendour of Baghdad? here is a short history on this from Mathemcatical association of america about the house of wisdom in Bagdhad

So dont vomit your knowledge of islam by saying why Egypt was not prosperous when its modern boundries were laid out after the fall of ottaman empire..

people win and lose in a war - losing is not a sign of weakness-but to get killed in millions because of fasicit europe and to die without a protest and use proxies to fight their war is the real weakness.

I guess I only have a simple question for you.
Why did the science stop after Islam came? Even if I accept the splendour of pre Islamic eras, why did the science stop when Islam was followed in these countries? If science did not stop even in India that was occupied by many people, if India could produce Raman, Ramanujan, Chandrasekah, Bose (all noble prize winners) and Vishwanathan Anand(world no 1 in chess) why could Islamic world not produces anyone in the past 800 years?

All the good people Islam have produced are apostates. People like Dr. Adbus Salam, an apostate who refused Mohammad being prophet. Dr Salman Rushdie a great writer who said Quran is from Satan. Why? What is wrong with Islam, any intellignet Muslim breaks away from it?

ALL OF BALAORDS URLS SAY THAT THESE DISCOVERY WAS MADE BY POOR IRAQIS IN 800 AD BEFORE ISLAM CAME.
ISLAM CAME AND DESTROYED EVERYTHING. THESE PEOPLE WERE GOOD, LOOK AT WHAT ISLAM DID TO THEM. IT MADE THEM ANIMALS FROM HUMANS. IT TOOK AWAY THEIR CONCSCIENCE AND INTELLIGENCE AND MADE THEM SUB HUMAN TERRORISTS WITH NO CREATIVITY AND NO RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE.
ISLAM IS THE PROBLEM.
BALOAORD, TEACH THESE PEOPLE TO GIVE UP ISLAM I AM SURE THEY ARE HUMANS AND GOD GAVE THEM BRAIN THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE TO HUMANITY LIKE THE PRE ISLAMIC ERAS.

Keith devlin - says As mathematician we are all children of Islam - such is the impact of Islamic civilization on Mathematics
But in your vastness of history of science you are trying to debunk the mathematical association of america..
