I mentioned leonarda to make you think, that a recent phenomena like Nobel prize has no bearing on the scientific legacy of any culture.. For your primitive mind,these logical replies are too much I belive

Gyan vedi, i know many who people here who bluff without any knowledge on History of science. why dont you show me some non-religions and academic source as a proof for your so called "divine consciousness"?? For example see this link An artcile written by Keith devlin, who is the current executive director of standford mathematical society and fellow of american mathematical association and a popular author of great many research books says "Islam kickstarted science" in the prestigious Mathematical Association of America maa.org/devlin/devlin_0708_02.html

balaord you are wrong.. The science propagated from India to Arabs to Europe to USA and there is ample amount of evidence..

Ample evidence of what?Muslims learnt from many civilizations, because that is the spirit of Islam.No one denies that. But dont make a stupid statement by saying Hindus stored everything in a harddisk and muslims copied it and distributed it. Science doesnt grow that way..

I wish you could understand the message of the two articles.The Ottoman empire is cited as an example of shining glory and that too at a time when Europe wasnt as enlightened as it is today.By which way, the only reason the Ottoman empire is cited as a shining example of governance is because of the "caucasian-centric" view of the speaker/writer.The conditions in the region of India then were as good or better than the empire under scrutiny.And,note,that the scholars merely preserved the knowledge developed in India and ancient Greece.We all know the story of the arabs taking the concept of "Zero" to europe.The messenger is being worshipped and the inventor sidelined.I am not entirely discounting the Ottoman empire's achievements.But they are not representative of Islamic philosophy.

Ofcourse we have only a meager 3 muslims scientists among hundreds But these people forget the fact that Nobel prize was established only in the last century at a time Muslims lands are occupied by colonisers. Ask this question to yourself.. How many Nobel prize newton won? How many Leonardo davinci won? How many Bernollie won? you will understand the stupidity of your question

"By and large, the early mathematical work done by Arabic scholars was predominantly practical, and not very deep -- certainly nothing like the mathematics of the ancient Greeks a thousand years earlier. Nevertheless, the subject appears to have been viewed as important and prestigious. Early Islamic scholars imported to Baghdad books on astronomy and mathematics from India." DEVLIN is not an idiot.You are missing his point .Take a lesson in reading and comprehension.
