Have you ever read the Quran? Or Islamic books by Islamic scholars?

If you haven't, let me answer your question in brief, because I have read the quran, the whole book is against education, that's exactly why they can't make any meaningful contribution to science, the book embraces terrorism and admonishes the spread of Islam by terrorism (kill infidels and conquer lands).

Quran makes them mentally lazy. It is filled with fairytales and fables, majority if not all the fables in Quran were copied from ancient poetic masterpiece. A very good example is a fable copied from Alexander the great!

The mentally weak Muslims, all 2 billion of them believes those fables and fairytales in the Quran did actually happened ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

Quran is a mostly filled with copied texts from orthodox Jewish practices, absolutely nothing special about it. No single miracle stated in Quran actually happened.

Without lies,Islam dies.
you don't know anything about Quran if you say it discourage seeking for knowledge. Let me educate you about this ,the first verse that was revealed in the Qur'an is iqra meaning read ,it was ordering the believer to and seek for knowledge,


Again you said there is no single miracle mentioned in the Quran,may be you did not read the portion that talked about the birth of Jesus a. s.,you did not read the part that talked about a prophet who ascended to heaven through all aqs mosque, you did not read the part that talked about a prophet who's shirt was used to heal the blind ,you did not read the portion that talked about discovery of well called zamzam ,you did not read about how the message of Islam came to the prophet Muhammad s a w.

The US depending on China for manufacturing and industrial tech bla bla has many reasons behind it , don't make it seems as if they lack the capability and manufacturing jobs are coming back to us or other friendly countries , friendshoring or whatever it's called .
And China is not just manufacturing for US . It's the world's factory
and this does not apply to millitary techs we are talking about here. You can't say us manufactures it's weapons in china.
O LAWD i will soon bite one girl!...

teaching centers, come from 9th century Egypt
--professor Salim al-Hassani
RELATED TOPICS
Middle East
World History
Science and Technology
Here Hassani shares his top 10 outstanding Muslim inventions:

1. Surgery

Around the year 1,000, the celebrated doctor Al Zahrawi published a 1,500 page illustrated encyclopedia of surgery that was used in Europe as a medical reference for the next 500 years. Among his many inventions, Zahrawi discovered the use of dissolving cat gut to stitch wounds -- beforehand a second surgery had to be performed to remove sutures. He also reportedly performed the first caesarean operation and created the first pair of forceps.

2. Coffee

Now the Western world's drink du jour, coffee was first brewed in Yemen around the 9th century. In its earliest days, coffee helped Sufis stay up during late nights of devotion. Later brought to Cairo by a group of students, the coffee buzz soon caught on around the empire. By the 13th century it reached Turkey, but not until the 16th century did the beans start boiling in Europe, brought to Italy by a Venetian trader.

3. Flying machine

"Abbas ibn Firnas was the first person to make a real attempt to construct a flying machine and fly," said Hassani. In the 9th century he designed a winged apparatus, roughly resembling a bird costume. In his most famous trial near Cordoba in Spain, Firnas flew upward for a few moments, before falling to the ground and partially breaking his back. His designs would undoubtedly have been an inspiration for famed Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci's hundreds of years later, said Hassani.

4. University

In 859 a young princess named Fatima al-Firhi founded the first degree-granting university in Fez, Morocco. Her sister Miriam founded an adjacent mosque and together the complex became the al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University. Still operating almost 1,200 years later, Hassani says he hopes the center will remind people that learning is at the core of the Islamic tradition and that the story of the al-Firhi sisters will inspire young Muslim women around the world today.

5. Algebra

The word algebra comes from the title of a Persian mathematician's famous 9th century treatise "Kitab al-Jabr Wa l-Mugabala" which translates roughly as "The Book of Reasoning and Balancing." Built on the roots of Greek and Hindu systems, the new algebraic order was a unifying system for rational numbers, irrational numbers and geometrical magnitudes. The same mathematician, Al-Khwarizmi, was also the first to introduce the concept of raising a number to a power.

6. Optics

"Many of the most important advances in the study of optics come from the Muslim world," says Hassani. Around the year 1000 Ibn al-Haitham proved that humans see objects by light reflecting off of them and entering the eye, dismissing Euclid and Ptolemy's theories that light was emitted from the eye itself. This great Muslim physicist also discovered the camera obscura phenomenon, which explains how the eye sees images upright due to the connection between the optic nerve and the brain.

7. Music

Muslim musicians have had a profound impact on Europe, dating back to Charlemagne tried to compete with the music of Baghdad and Cordoba, according to Hassani. Among many instruments that arrived in Europe through the Middle East are the lute and the rahab, an ancestor of the violin. Modern musical scales are also said to derive from the Arabic alphabet.

8. Toothbrush

According to Hassani, the Prophet Mohammed popularized the use of the first toothbrush in around 600. Using a twig from the Meswak tree, he cleaned his teeth and freshened his breath. Substances similar to Meswak are used in modern toothpaste.

9. The crank

Many of the basics of modern automatics were first put to use in the Muslim world, including the revolutionary crank-connecting rod system. By converting rotary motion to linear motion, the crank enables the lifting of heavy objects with relative ease. This techno

The More you look the less you see

The importance of seeking knowledge is emphasized in both the Quran and the Sunnah. In one hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim." This hadith highlights the significance of seeking knowledge in Islam.

Another hadith emphasizes the value and importance of seeking knowledge in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The ink of the scholar is more precious than the blood of the martyr."

โšกSudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said it was open to an immediate, unconditional ceasefire through talks with the Sudanese army.

By signing the so-called Addis Ababa Declaration, which is intended to serve as the basis for further negotiations and a political settlement, the RSF has made its clearest commitment to ending the war so far.

But RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan โ€œHemedtiโ€ Dagalo is now trying to secure regional support to capture all of Sudan from the army.

Last month, the RSF captured Gezira state โ€“ a breadbasket for Sudan โ€“ giving the group the clear upper hand against the army.

Appleyard:


The global sale of oil wired around the US dollar via the Brentton Wood arrangement, and the SWIFT payment system that controls much of the world's financial settlement initiatives is the major reason the US-led west has the ability to sanction any country that do not follow their diktats. If an economic body like BRICS comes up with their own reserve currency similar to the Euro, and their own SWIFT alternative settlement system, considering how huge it is with more members seeking to join, it will drastically undermined the dominance of the
Dollar and reduce the effect of the western sanction bullyinng tactics and leverage over the rest of the world, which is increasingly getting fed up with the US-led western economic grindsmanship.

Already, BRICS represent 29% of global GDP, accounting for more than $30 trillion dollars of global wealth. And with new members set to join (many of which has positive GDP growth potentials,) the gap between it and the G7 nations would continue to shrink drastically. That is not a good sign for the US-led west abuse of "soft power" to harass other nations. Welcome to multipolarism. cool

This is false.
The numerals in use today worldwide was the invention of Arabs Muslims.

They only borrowed the idea of "Zero" from India.

Indians existed long before the Arab-Muslim civilization but didn't use these numbers until the Arabs came around.

So you think the US dollar evolves around Petro dollar alone or economi3e revolvearoun GDP alone.

The US has some other features while it's king
1. The faith in US system or Govt not to default
2. Wide acceptability (some countries that accept ruppe for example have had hard time spending them)
3. Stability/// some safe heaven currency that investor flock to during crisis
4. Can you trust let's say Yuan for example. A devalued currency can be reserve currency
5. Fed reserve transparency
6.The stability of the political system of the issuing country
The size and prospects of the economy
Global integration of its markets and economy
A transparent and open economic system
A credible legal system
The quality of its sovereign debt
The ability to bear costs associated with a reserve currency


The size, depth and liquidity of financial markets
Many factors .. Petro dollars
Even if dollar is to be dethroned it's not now and won't be easy.



You just wasted time elaborating the point I made earlier.

1. Howe can the US default when it has the licence to print unlimited Fiat paper whenever it wills due to the fact that the Dollar is a global reserve currency? It can, and has been printing money from thin air, this forcing inflation down the throat of the global market.

2. Wide acceptability made possible SOLELY by the BrenttonWood arrangement. Don't be naive. cool, Until that arrangement, no one gives a dime about the US Dollar. There is a reason why the US has its military on the asss of every Oil Producing nation on earth. Take out that arrangement and the dollar would just be another ordinary Fiat paper like the Yuan, Rouble, Franc, etc.
.
The BrenttonWood arrangement that made it compulsory for all nations to sell and buy oil only in Dollars. That effectively secured the place of the US dollars as the most dependable and used currency on the global financial markets. Which country and industry doesn't need oil and it's derivatives?

The rest of your points are a no-brainer because some other globally recognized currencies meet those points. Example, the Euro, which was becoming too much of a threat to the US who cleverly came up with "Mission Ukraine" to destabilize the EU market that foolishly sanctioned their economies, in the quest to punish Russia, the lifewire of their industrial competitive advantage. I must admit, the US knows how to play dirty but smart geopolitics. cool

And yes, it's not going to be easy to dethrone the dollar, especially in the petrol dollar scheme. But with the likes of BRICS, that reset is in clear view and could be sooner than many thinks.
