Interesting. I didn't know it was a muslim that invented coffee. Imagine what a horrible world it would be without it.

hehe :hmm: *rises to the bait*
nothing like a well developed sense of inferiority to liven up the history of a culture - Yes! look how great an benevolent we are with all these wonderous inventions that we discovered before you... maybe so, but you should hear some of the things the arabs claim to 'belong' to them by way of invention. And please where's the grace and cultural sensitivity in being discreetly modest?
I dig their architecture and geometry though.



I won't bother furnishing this thred with links, that's what google is for.

I’ll still take some pride knowing that some of the more recent inventions of my people (the Irish and Ukrainians) may literately blow them away in the near future…

Irish Inventors:
Louis Brennan: Wire Guided Torpedo.
John Phillip Holland: Modern Military Submarine.
Sir James Martin: Aircraft Ejector Seat.
John Walker: Caterpillar Track

Ukrainian Inventors:
Sergey Korolev: Sputnik and Vostok ‘nuff said
Igor Sikorsky: The helicopter
Vladimir Chelomei: Proton Rocket, launch vehicle of the 1st space station.
Alexander Morozov: Tank Designer.
Alexander Samakula: anti-reflective coating for optical lenses.

Does disagreeing with distortions of history qualify as "Islamophobia"?

I remember when this letter was published, in protest to a chock-full-of-nuts lecture given by Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett Packard.

Regarding this new 1001 Inventions site and exhibit, read what the science nerd community has to say (very difficult to follow).

I want to thank all muslim inventors for their brilliance. Too bad they dont seem to make muslims like that anymore.

You must be referring to kamikazes.

In which case, you are wrong.

Actually I was talking about the Japanese school children that were taught to jump under an American tank with a satchel charge and blow them selves up.
