Cheap Thrills and Muslim Propaganda

The Islamic Golden Age 1001 inventions revisited

by StopSpamming1

A huge number of Muslims still believe today that there is some truth in the idea that there was an Islamic Golden Age ~1000 years ago. They have nothing to show in science today and need to make

up for it pointing to the past - as though that would compensate for the lack of a scientific orientation today. Alas, the claim that there were significant inventions and earth-shattering discoveries made at the time is also false.

I try and show an example of how these misconceptions are kept alive and what to do if there is a genuine interest in finding the truth.
