Muslim scholars if any that made any contribution to sciences were mostly secular liberal persecuted for their ideas ... -
Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Haytham (Arabic: ابو علي، الحسن بن الحسن بن الهيثم, Persian: ابن هیثم, Latinized: Alhacen or (deprecated)[4] Alhazen) (965 in Basra – c. 1040 in Cairo) was a Persian[5] or Arab[6] scientist and polymath.[7] He made significant contributions to the principles of optics, as well as to physics, anatomy, astronomy, engineering, mathematics, medicine, ophthalmology, philosophy, psychology, visual perception, and to science in general with his early application of the scientific method.
Ibn al-Haytham was a devout Muslim, though it is uncertain which branch of Islam he followed. He may have been either a follower of the orthodox Ash'ari school of Sunni Islamic theology according to Ziauddin Sardar[97] and Lawrence Bettany[98] (and opposed to the views of the Mu'tazili school),[98] a follower of the Mu'tazili school of Islamic theology according to Peter Edward Hodgson,[99] or a follower of Shia Islam possibly according to A. I. Sabra.[100]
Ibn al-Haytham described his search for truth and knowledge as a way of leading him closer to God:I constantly sought knowledge and truth, and it became my belief that for gaining access to the effulgence and closeness to God, there is no better way than that of searching for truth and knowledge
Abū al-Rayḥān Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Bīrūnī[1] (born 5 September 973 in Kath, Khwarezm, died 13 December 1048 in Ghazni), known as Alberonius in Latin, was a Persian Muslim scholar and polymath of the 11th century.[2][3]
Biruni was a polymath with an interest in various practical and scholarly fields that relate to what nowadays is described as physics, anthropology, comparative sociology,[4] astronomy, astrology, chemistry, history, geography, mathematics, medicine, psychology, philosophy, and theology. He was the first Muslim scholar to study India and the Brahminical tradition,[5] and has been described as the founder of Indology,[6] and "the first anthropologist".[7] He was one of the first exponents of an experimental method of investigation,[8] introducing this method into mechanics[9] and what is nowadays called mineralogy, psychology,[10] and astronomy.[11][12]
Islamic law
In Islamic law and jurisprudence, Biruni understood natural law as the law of the jungle. He argued that the antagonism between human beings can only be overcome through a divine law, which he believed to have been sent through the prophets of Islam.[93]
Both of these guys were so secular and liberal.

Most of these Muslim supremacist documentaries (much like the Jewish supremacist ones or the white supremacist ones, or the Indian supremacist ones) contain fake information.
Technology and science has always been a combination of works from many different Empires.
Muslims were important as well as many other Empires and Civilizations.Comment

scholars of science should not be necessarily a religious person. everyone should be an expert in his own field. if someone is doctor he should only be a doctor, he should be limited to medical field only, he has nothing to do with the politics of the state, if someone is a journalist he has to do reporting and writing etc he has nothing to do with religious matter when it comes to law making or any other matter.
in the same way every individual has his own thoughts.
it is not necessary for a proffessional to be a secular or religious. i dont know why did you post thisComment
