IBN-AL-HAITHAM / Alhazen is my favorite

[Manzareh]

We need to stop running to the past and to the golden era of Islam to comfort our feelings..that was along time ago. What’s more important is the present/future achievements of Muslims.

all are good, manzareh. i think even a lot of muslims don't know their own history. i am learning about it and in the field of knowledge, muslim history is impressive.

[randolph85]

great people who muslims today must strive to emulate and even surpass, as much as the great military leaders and warriors in our history.

jihad should not be worthless, it must aim to create a free islamic society which protects and nurtures the development of great minds like these men.

[Khostai]

Al-Razi was also a good scientiest and he was trueley ahead of his time
hmm wonder way nobody mentioned him LOL

[faye]

the persians appear to have been great contributers to muslim science and knowledge.

[Al Hanif]

the persians appear to have been great contributers to muslim science and knowledge.

The aborigines appear to have contributed nothing to science and knowledge except sticks.

[faye]

Look how much I am jealous of the Persians :

Abbas Ibn Firnas : inventor, engineer, aviator, physician, poet, and musician. The father of Aeronautics, who made the first heavier-than-air human flight.

A pure blooded Berber, not a Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_Ibn_Firnas

Averroes : polymath; a master of Aristotelian philosophy, Islamic philosophy, Islamic theology, Maliki law and jurisprudence, logic, psychology, politics, Arabic music theory, and the sciences of medicine, astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics and celestial mechanics. One of the most influential philosophers who paved the way for European Renaissance and enlightment.

He was a pure blooded Berber, not a Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averroes

Ibn Khaldun : one of the forerunners of modern historiography, sociology and economics.

Again, a Berber, not a Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Khaldun

Ibn Battuta : considered one of the greatest explorators and travellers of all time.

A Berber, not a Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Battuta

Al-Khattabi : the father of modern guerilla warfare, a military strategist. His guerrilla tactics influenced the greatest military leaders : Võ Nguyên Giáp, Ho Chi Minh, Mao Zedong, and Che Guevara.

Berber, not Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ibn_%27Abd_al-Karim_al-Khattabi

Tariq Ibn Ziyad : a Berber general who conquered Spain, considered to be one of the most important military commanders in Iberian history.

Berber, not Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_ibn_Ziyad

Al Betrugi : astronomer and philosopher. The first astronomer after Ptolemy to present a non-Ptolemaic astronomical system as an alternative to Ptolemy's models.

Berber, not Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nur_ad-Din_al-Betrugi

Al Majriti : astronomer, chemist, mathematician, economist and Scholar. The first to note the principle of conservation of mass, introduced the techniques of surveying and triangulation, improved existing translations of the Almagest, introduced and improved the astronomical tables of al-Khwarizmi.

Berber, not Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslamah_Ibn_Ahmad_al-Majriti

Ibn Aflah : astronomer and mathematician. He invented an observational instrument known as the torquetum, a mechanical device to transform between spherical coordinate systems, replaced the use of Menelaus' theorem with ones based on spherical trigonometry, influenced Islamic, Jewish and Christian astronomers.

Berber, not Persian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabir_ibn_Aflah

Also Ibn Al Jazzar : physician famous for his writings on Islamic medicine :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Al-Jazzar

and many others...

I'm not at all jealous of the Persians.

These Persian scientists are my brothers in faith, why would I be jealous of them ? I'm actually very proud of them.

Unlike you, I am not at all insecure with my ethnicity. I am perfectly fine being who I am. I would never trade my current ethnicity for Persian, Arab or Limey like you.

This only shows that kuffars like you love to create fitna in the muslim community by stressing ethnic differences.

And I never said that Aborigines are muslim scientists.

I was only once again exposing your hypocrisy.
