I know surgeries were done in India 4000 years back,but the modern surgical procedures are directly influenced by Muslim surgeorn Albucasis.As usual many here simply bluff without ever bothering to give proof
Professor Ralph Herman Major the first Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine University of Kansas (One of first doctors to use insulin to treat diabetics)
says this
%u2026 Albucasis%u2019 On Surgery was the first work specifically about surgery and illustrated more than 200 surgical instruments. Albucasis, born in 963, was the greatest surgeon in Islam%u2026
In this work author Ibn al Nafis, an Arabian physician of the 13th century, pointed out that the interventricular septum of the heart had no pores and gave the first clear statement of the pulmonary or lesser circulation

am talking about How civilization which had Islam as its life line made profound impact and contribution to Modernity. You may detest the facts,but no matter how bitter it is -History stands testimony to the truth I am here trying to do my bit to shatter the sterotyping of Muslims by ignoramauses
that is why you people are getting less and less in the field of science and technology. and your number is increasing more and more in the field of suicide bombing, kidnapping, shia-sunni killing, raping by father-in-law etc high-value scientific works.
