Medieval Muslims excelled at science, medicine, mathematics, philosophy, Astronomy, because they translated?
the Ancient Greek texts into Arabic; why did not the Europeans equally excell at these things….perhaps because the Church forbade it, deliberately keeping the peasantry in ignorance so they could hold onto their fuedal wealth and power?
Heba Hasan, Newton was from a Protestant country; unlike his contemporaries like Galileo who was threatened with torture and burning alive by the Catholic Church, for saying The Planets evolved around the sun and the Earth was round….which went against their teaching.
It’s funny that many people will take your answer as a joke; however, what you state is historical fact! Nice.
