While this is obviously a troll post by a classic Trump-sucker, I think it's worth an interesting reply.
Have you considered the names of the stars in the sky? A huge number of them bear Arabic names because of contributions from the Islamic world in the field of astronomy.
Have you ever done algebra? That's not a European word. Again, another contribution from the "eeeeeevil" Muslim world.
How about the numbers we use every day? They are Arabic numbers, you know.
Just some things to think about...
Yep, they use that algebra to caculate the trajectory of the stones during a stoning exercise and I'm sure they use to calculate the force necessary to saw a head off. And the arabic numbers, to count how many lashes to give some gal for misbehaving.

Nope, Hindu.
Btw, an infinitesimally small number of stars have Arabic names.
Actual credit for algebra seems to be divided between Greeks, Babylonians, and Persians. So, it's a mixed collection there. Try doing some real research instead of just cherry-picking whatever nonsense tries to discredit the Muslim world next time.
You didn't read what I said. I clearly said that several civilizations including the Greeks developed algebra. It is there for all the world to see that not only do you have no idea what you are talking about, but you can't read.
Good Job.

The fact is that "Arabic Numerals" developed from the older Indian. There is no shared credit. The Arabs copied India. You don't know this because you don't know anything about history.
Maybe also look at the actions of some your biblical "action heroes" and tell me how wonderful they all are... lol... My favorite, Deuteronomy, Chapter 13
Yep, kill them all - even the ones who aren't causing problems - because God said so. So peaceful. So Christian. Whatever.
You are a coward who does not have the intellectual courage to even study what you are commenting on. Islam UNIQUELY instructs it's followers to kill and rape "infidels." There is situational violence in Judaism and Christianity, but no calls for ongoing war like in the religion of pedophiles, terrorists and murderers:
PASSAGES FROM QURAN JUSTIFYING MURDER
Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
Quran (9:29)“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
"O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors; they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. (The Noble Quran, 5:51)"
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191
Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme.
(different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God's entirely. - Sura 2:193 and 8:39
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. - 2:216
(different translation: ) Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.
It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. - 8:67
Allah will humble the unbelievers. Allah and His apostle are free from obligations to idol-worshipers. Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers. - 9:2-3
Fight unbelievers who are near to you. 9:123
(different translation)Believers! Make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Let them find harshness in you.
(another source: ) Ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers....
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. - 47:4
(different translation: ) When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.
Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal sternly with them. Hell shall be their home, evil their fate. - 66:9
PASSAGES fROM QURAN JUSTIFYING RAPE
And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands (as prisoners of war). . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 319). (See also Suras 4:3 and 33:50).
Successful indeed are the believers, who are humble in their prayers and who keep aloof from what is vain and who are givers of poor-rate and who guard their private parts, except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blamable.
Qur'an
and, confirmation from Hadith:
Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa'id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): O Abu Sa'id, did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi'l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3371
..and marital rape
The Quran in Sura (Chapter) 2:223 says: Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . .
A good passage on raping young girls:
O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them when they have reached their period. Count the period, and fear God your Lord. Do not expel them from their houses, nor let them go forth, except when they commit a flagrant indecency. Those are God's bounds; whosoever trespasses the bounds of God has done wrong to himself. Thou knowest not, perchance after that God will bring something new to pass… As for your women who have despaired of further menstruating, if you are in doubt, their period shall be three months; and those who have not menstruated as yet. And those who are with child, their term is when they bring forth their burden. Whoso fears God, God will appoint for him, of His command, easiness. S. 65:1, 4 Arberry

Maybe it used to be that way but not so much anymore. On another thread there were people denying that the foundations of the US were British. I mean which part of the US being formed from 13 British colonies populated primarily by people of British origins and with a largely British culture have people forgotten? Our history seems to literally be being forgotten and/or rewritten. We really could use a European History Month.
Which thread was that? Can you link it? Or do remember which forum it was on?
Indeed. Honestly, I've never understood racial or religious pride. You're born into a race basically at random, and your religion is essentially determined by where you are born. These are things a person has no say in, so what's the point in being proud of them? It makes as much sense to me as being proud of having large feet, or red hair, or some other thing - and then trying to bludgeon everyone else who's different into the dirt over it.
If a person wants respect, let them earn it. They should go out and DO something to be proud over. Not live some self-inflicted failure of a life, while mouthing off about how "proud they are to be white (trash)" with the hopes that Trump will punish those "evil" black people / gays / Muslims that had the nerve to be more successful than they are.
Because people put you down and mistreat you because of these differences, and treat you unfairly over these things. Especially when these same people in the few have no power or voice to do anything. In a perfect world, you would be right. you can't trust people to treat everyone the same, so the least of these need to be lifted up, and to have pride for there differences.
