I am not making exclusive claims.I am against who bash Muslims without knowing the scientific legacy of Islam. I am proud that India contributed to a great extent to the Mathematics. I belive in shared legacy and alliance of civilizations.This forum is made up of morons who never read books on science history and always ready to bash islam thats why I sound little harsh on certain claims. And I am always ready to argue on the legacy of Islam if you want!!!

No one is here to argue the "legacy" of any religion. The question is - WHY MUSALAMANS ARE AGAINST HUMANITY AND THEIR OWN COUNTRY. For god sake, please dont start your lectures on what Islamic scholars did 1000 years before. Give us one reason, why you opt for a terror path NOW, in the 21st CENTURY. Dont go back to 7th century.

Against Humanity??Muslims were torch bearers of tolerance to the most part.There were rulers who were cruel -but by far Islam set the standard for human rights..
Read history and dont educate yourself from the sensational media
The universally accepted ideals which you guys seems to be so obsessed with are actually influenced by Islam.Read Two Time Pulitzer Prize winning author's ground breaking New Book God's Crucible-Islam and the Making of Europe-This book explains how Muslim spain's legacy of tolerance and rich heritage of scientific accomplishments shaped Europe. Historian David Levering Lewis challenges the eurocentric historians and the current ludicorous and biased popular perception of Islamic civilization
This is one of Washington Post's publication's review of the book
