It talks about The father of chemistry Jabir Ibn Hayam.Ofcourse whole history is now rewritten and these illustrious gianst names are omiited.For people who wonder about bias -should ask themselves what happened in this 150 years between 1873 and 2008?

Yes.I agree ,but to say Muslims just copied it from India is worse than a lie.This is the same lie which many europeans throw at muslims saying they copied from Greek.
Can you answer thses question if you dispute?
Arabic was the language of science for 1000 years and thats why books from other languages and other countries got translated to arabic. When there is a center of intellectual activity,it is only natural that this happens!!!
Have you windered why Indian number system has to go through Arabs? why on earth all the so called Greek knowldge has to be translated to arabic and then to Latin? Is Arabia very near to London that Greece?
Why no books were directly translated from sanskrit to chinnese..or sanskrit to greek?
It is simple-Arabic was the language of science and thats why it took that route..
This is not to underestimate the ingenuity of Indian mathematics but you cant have a simpleton view and say everything is copied as if Muslims had huge terrabyte hard disk

Arabic was never the language of science..a brief period under the umayyads in Damascus did see a flowering of translations from other ancient cultures like Greece China & India...Europe at that time was under the equally dangerous religion Chrisitianty which as Emperor Julian said destroys the thinking mind...Islam is even more stifling as it destroys all debates and opposition by blasphemy laws...while Christianty yielded to Reformation, Islam further degenerated into a violent culture...the reason is inherent violence in Islam (3 of its first 4 caliphs were murdered), and the fact that Islam's prophet Mohammad was more of a warrior than a man of God.

Language of masses and Language of science ...I think there is a difference. Vedic mathematics and Science is the oldest and hence no two ways about it...

1) Greeks learned from hindus. -- All the greek gods and godesses, starts comets, constellation, astrology were all in india. India has been the teacher of greeks.
2)Before islam, hindus wee teacher of arabs.
3)biggest sanskrit library is in england and germany.
Before romans knew of 0, they could count up to only 1000 = M , which is represented by an M. With 0 their real development started.
Sanskrit is the oldest and most pious language to represent knowledge. Sanskrit is the only language of divine origin created by brahma(the creator god).

You got me wrong.Arabic became the language of science because Islam transcended all national and language boundries.Arabic in itself is not holy.A muslim who belives that GOD has revealed his message to all people of different lanaguge will never mock a particular lanague. Prophet Muhammed is just the final messenger and he just happenes to be a Arab.Thats all. There is nothing holy about arabic itself

What muhammad found out is copy of christianity and jusdaism, Muslims follow the old testament, they are just like jews.
Veds have nothing to do with ibraheeeeem. who is actually anti god. ie vishnu and shiv.

I am very sure that it is people like Balaord who with his excuses for Islam has stifled its reformation.. we see this phenomenon in all Muslim countries where the moderates run away to UK and US and talk big there.. as long as there are apologists liek Balaord Islam will continue to make our lives hell on earth.
