It was plagiarized. Please research your history. We learnt of this at a top academic institution as part of a masters course.

i'm afraid i believe NOTHING you say.

you started this thread screaming racism and anti-muslim behavior by people dishing out israeli goods.

i then reveal that you are a racist of note - remember making your domestic worker use outside toilets & drink from a "special" cup (as you so quaintly called it)
in that same thread of yours, you then tried to defend your behavior citing OCD germ issues on your wife's behalf.http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/580421-Domestic-use-of-Toilets?highlight=

but this is the same person who you also claimed achieved orgasms when riding on a motorbike with you.
OCD when is comes to germs ?
maybe she rides a motor bike in a big oxygen tent, or one of those big bubbles to avoid the hurricane of germs when riding on a motorbike.

Can I respectfully request that if you guys read a post by a Muslim, which makes a statement without providing at least some support or references, you rather ignore them. It is rather unfortunate that your opinion of all Muslims are going to warped because people speaking out of anger and retaliation.

you are 100% correct.

but the same standard has to be applied to certain muslims here who continue to spout blatant untruths with gay abandon.

I think must folks are already aware of this and are pointing out specifics to specific members.

In general, generalisation is stupid. :p

Unfortunately that horse bolted about 2 weeks ago. We are busy trying to get him back in the stable but one voice of reason does not a peaceful religion make.

BTW the whole interest system was stolen from muslim mathematicians by Fibonacci. The whole worlds financial system is based on this.

Pension do you have any references? I wouldn't be proud of that fact if it is true as Interest in it's entirety is totally forbidden in Islam (receiving or charging).
 
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 technology, discovered by Al-Jazari in the 12th century, exploded across the globe, leading to everything from the bicycle to the internal combustion engine.
10. Hospitals
"Hospitals as we know them today, with wards and teaching centers, come from 9th century Egypt," explained Hassani. The first such medical center was the Ahmad ibn Tulun Hospital, founded in 872 in Cairo. Tulun hospital provided free care for anyone who needed it -- a policy based on the Muslim tradition of caring for all who are sick. From Cairo, such hospitals spread around the Muslim world.

I will buy whatever product I want be the person who made it Israeli or Palestinian or anything imbetween. If you have an issue with a perticular government boycotting the products of that country is like kicking a mans dog because you don't like the man. Ordinary people just try to make a living and selling goods to put food on your families table should never be targeted for political issues imo.

Anyways, both sides of that conflict are no angels so if you want to call on an Israeli boycott should you not also boycott Palestine at the same time?

This is an academic paper on his contributions.

http://www.nber.org/papers/w10352

Now the link between him and the muslim mathematicians is more difficult to prove, but he studied under muslim mathematicians. The Fibonacci sequence is also plagiarized

Its not so much the concept of interest but the way it is calculated. He pretty much translated an arabic book and called it his own

More proof

You should be proud as the current financial system and the industrial revolution is based on this
