  1. A Greek geometrist who developed geometry and Pre-Algebra influenced by Babylonian knowledge. Arabs developed advanced Algebra and developed it as a separate math from geometry. Greeks and Babylonians didn't.

  2. "when they extorted the one book of 5 from the germanic byzantines" Germanic Byzantines? LMAO Thanks for showing you know NOTHING about history. The Byzantines were Italic and Greek, dumbass. Not Germanic. It was the Eastern Roman Empire. "The romans developed five main books" Now the Romans are Germanic? wtf Anyway, name these five Algebra books where the Romans supposedly invented Algebra and the Arabs stole. Go on. BTW, the Muslims who sacked Byzantium were Turks, dumbass. Not Arabs.

  3. "I am shocked that once they got the seed that they were able to expand upon their extorted good" Still waiting on that source that shows they got their knowledge from stolen European books. *crickets* Exactly. You're making shit up.

  4. "You just want to be proud in your islamic heritage" I have none. I'm not a Muslim and no one in my family is. Making shit up again, I see.

  5. A person can be obese and be poor. Obesity has more to do with bad diet than amount/quantity of food. If you are on food stamps most of the food you can afford to buy is junk food and low-quality cheap food, which helps make you obese even if you exercise or even if you only eat 2-3 meals a day. "all while these horrific conditions exist in today's modern world?" What does how we help out the poor in our country have to do with the situation in other countries?

  6. "I disproved that" Where? Quote it. The number "0" comes from Arabia. "and it came from the babylonians" Except it didn't. They invented Pre-Algebra. Algebra as an advanced and separate math comes from the Islamic Age Arabs: (.) ucs (.) louisiana (.) edu/~sxw8045/history (.) htm Basic history. Waiting on you to cite any sources proving all historians wrong. "the Byzantines with war" 1) The Byzantines also threatened them with war. 2) Byzantines had nothing to do with Algebra.

  7. "Roman engineers needed it thus they developed it" List some credible academic sources that attribute the invention of Algebra to the Romans. I'll wait. Let me give you a beginner's intro to Algebra: en (.) wikipedia (.) org/wiki/Algebra#History Nothing to do with the Romans. The Babylonians developed Pre-Algebra. The Arabs and Persians (who were Muslim by then) developed Advanced Algebra.

  8. "You are both blind and stupid" Oh, that rebutted everything, didn't it? XD "from wikipedia" You used the same source. Anyway, here's the source cited in the article: Boyer, Carl B. (1991). A History of Mathematics (Second ed.). Wiley. p. 228. ISBN 0-471-54397-7. I should disbelieve him why, exactly?

  9. Never contributed one thing to modern man? Look up "Islamic Golden Age". Where do you think the number "0" and the numerical symbols we use in the West come from? Arab Muslims.

  10. "other sources....beyond wikipedia" They confirm it being mostly of Arabic origin too: (.) algebra (.) com/algebra/about/history/ No sources from you saying otherwise.

  11. The fuck are you talking about? I never said Islam is superior. I'm not even a Muslim. There's no sense in denying history. Denying the Islamic Golden Age is like denying the existence of the Roman Empire. And when the hell did Obama claim Islam is superior? And to what? I don't like Obama, but he's not an Islamist nut. He's a Christian American Neocon imperialist. "them stripping the gold" A disjointed rant is not counter-evidence of a goddamn thing I said. Historians proved you wrong.

  12. Continued: "Those who support Al-Khwarizmi point to the fact that he introduced the methods of "reduction" and "balancing" (the transposition of subtracted terms to the other side of an equation, that is, the cancellation of like terms on opposite sides of the equation) which the term al-jabr originally referred to, and that he gave an exhaustive explanation of solving quadratic equations, supported by geometric proofs, while treating algebra as an independent discipline in its own right."

  13. "Islam is not capable of developing a creative idea" Just many of the ideas from the European Renaissance. A near universally agreed fact among Western historians.

  14. "trying to re write history" No, this is from Western historians, dumbass. All contemporary reports and evidence show Algebra was mostly developed by Arabs and Persians. Babylonians developed Pre-Algebra which was much simpler than the Algebra the Arabs developed. "Romans and greeks developed it" Again, pure bullshit: en (.) wikipedia (.) org/wiki/Algebra#History Romans had nothing at all to do with Algebra. Greeks copied Pre-Algebra they learned from Babylonians.

  16. Stolen from what culture? "Jihad is about raiding" Yes, because no other technologically-advanced empires raid and loot or oppress others. (sarcasm) Look up Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Nubian, Chinese, British or American history. All advanced empires who raided, stole, looted, enslaved and oppressed others. That's kind of what empires do. From your post I can tell you don't know much about Anthropology or History. Your complaints about Islamic empires apply to ALL empires.

  17. Not to mention Roman architecture has nothing to do with algebra. "Throughout the world of islam? Ha! There is nothing comparable!" Other than being considered the technological and intellectual center of the world for 500 years and having empires larger than the Roman empire and significantly impacting the culture of surrounding regions to this day (Sudan, Egypt, Somalia, North Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, etc.)....

  19. Nevertheless, the fact that Islamic empires conquered others doesn't at all erase the fact they created a multitude of new technologies and scientific discoveries. "Not theirs" According to whom? List some serious historians who claim Islamic empires took all their technological, mathematical, medical, cartographic, and scientific discoveries from other people. And pray tell WHO did they supposedly take all the credit from?

  20. "the science was developed by those who needed it" And Arabs and Persians had less need for it than others...why exactly. "Greeks and Romans" Except not a single source supports this. There is no mention of the Romans at all in the history of algebra. Name some famous Roman algebraic mathematicians. "Take a look wherever the romans went, the infrastructure is still there" So is the Arabic and Persian architecture. It still stands as far away as India, Africa and Indonesia.

  21. "the father of Algebra is considered to be a greek" By whom? "Diophantus/ He is the dude who created the texts which I believe were extorted from the germanic byzanties" 1) Byzantines are Italic/Greek, dumbass. Not Germanic. 2) From the Wiki article: "The Greek mathematician Diophantus has traditionally been known as the "father of algebra" but in more recent times there is much debate over whether al-Khwarizmi, who founded the discipline of al-jabr, deserves that title instead."

  22. "why we are afraid, a 1400 year secret" Ah, so this is what this is about. You're an Islamophobe, hence your irrational denial of proven history. Makes sense now. You're like Creationists who keep claiming that Evolution has been disproved by someone. XD Denying reality and facts is a sign of mental illness, son. "From Wikipedia" This is true of all empires. Including the Greeks and Romans who borrowed heavily from Egyptians and Nubians. Nowhere did it claim Arabs stole Algebra from anyone.

  23. Go watch "why we are afraid" So I should listen to a one-sided conspiracy theory video on YouTube over real historians? Lol Still waiting for those 5 Algebra books from the Romans showing the Romans invented Algebra and the Arabs stole it. What were the names of those books? Stop dodging.

  24. From the article: "By contrast, most Egyptians of this era, as well as Greek and Chinese mathematics in the 1st millennium BC, usually solved such equations by geometric methods...Those who support Al-Khwarizmi point to the fact that he introduced the methods of "reduction" and "balancing"...which the term al-jabr originally referred to,and that he gave an exhaustive explanation of solving quadratic equations supported by geometric proofs, while treating algebra as an independent discipline"
