That is why, the thread is running in General History sub Forum.
Moreover, a large number of Jats profess Islam too.

And
Friends,
Both these posts are not related to thread heading and if these are deleted, you would start raising objection for doing so.
Therefore, it is appealed to all the participants in the discussion here to post only those views which reflect Contribution of the people living in Muslim dominated areas towards Science, Technology and other fields.
The irrelevant posts would be summarily removed hereinafter !
Wishing fruitful discussion.
Well, This is good! Appreciate your work here!
1. I am not sure why it is not reliable. Do we need to put reference for every post here? Do all members put reference here whenever they post their views?
2. Are we doing academic discussion here? I originally posted this thread in General-Talk section because the intention was to have a general awareness. Of course everyone wants to have access to more authentic information but wikipedia also holds some truth. Moreover the term(Muslim World) is not a techinical term which needs explaination in detail. Using common sense and some wisdom can easily help you a lot, had it been a right intention behind the question. The term is self explainatory and if you some body is still confused then he/she can punch a couple of letters on google and search the meaning of term.
3. If you want to me quote an authentic link, then I can pull that information for you given you contribute and reciprocate in the same manner. If you do, then let me know. I will quote many authentic links but if you won't then I am sorry my friend. I don't have that much time to help you. Kindly help yourself.
Thank You
Appreciate your positiveness and helping other members to understand the essence of this thread.
My friend, Kindly shun such views. Let's give up such stereotypes about a community which is going through a rough time. A lot of Muslims condemn terrorism and want peace. Also let's not jump to conclusion about my affiliation to any party for that matter. Whatever party I vote to does not have any relevance to this topic. I have started this topic so that people know about history and inventions.
Thank You
I did not like the way you have treated my posts in this forum. Specially when I wrote about my views on J&K. In India we have a democracy and it is beauty of democracy which allows people to protest in a peaceful manner. It allows people to post their views on any forum. It allows people from opposition to have their views in a peaceful manner. So many times, even separatists leaders from J&K are allowed in India to hold conferences and put their views forward. They also have criticized the Indian govt handling of J&K affairs. Thats the beauty of our mature democracy. I have come across so many articles from renowned journalists who also differ from Indian govt view on J&K . Shekhar Gupta last year wrote a blog on Indian Express to express his views on disarming Army in Kashmir. But unfortunately on this forum, I have felt a sense of oppression. Why are we not tolerant of opposing views?
That is why I have unsatisfied with the treatment I have recieved here. There are some positive signs now. So I hope it will improve and continue further. So I will build some strength and continue to participate in this thread.
Thank You
In addition to what Mr Rajpal singh said, let me pose a rhetorical question, Don't Jats read history? Is Jat community an enclosed soceity? Don't Jats have a quest to know?
Thank You

Friend,
Here the thread belongs to History Section and we are not supposed to discuss individuals involved in the discussion. Therefore it would be better if you kindly stop discussing personal likings and disliking/appreciation or criticism of the commentators.
Instead, concentrate your posts on the thread topic, please.
Thanks and best wishes.

Looks like thread has not got up to speed as I wanted. Let me highlight more inventions by Muslim world which have helped the world to progress.
Algebra - Everyone knows the importance of algebra in our daily lives. The word Algebra derived from Arabic language. The Arabic word al-jabr defines algebra. Which means restoration.
Algebra was developed by great scientist and mathematician Muhamad Ibn Musa Al-Khawarizmi. Al-Khawarizmi was born in Persia in 780 AD.
You can read about Al-Khawarizmi here: http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Al-Khwarizmi.html
From the above link, let me share about his contribution:
He first reduces an equation (linear or quadratic) to one of six standard forms:

He first reduces an equation (linear or quadratic) to one of six standard forms:
1. Squares equal to roots.
2. Squares equal to numbers.
3. Roots equal to numbers.
4. Squares and roots equal to numbers; e.g. x[SUP]2[/SUP] + 10 x = 39.
5. Squares and numbers equal to roots; e.g. x[SUP]2[/SUP] + 21 = 10 x.
6. Roots and numbers equal to squares; e.g. 3 x + 4 = x[SUP]2[/SUP].
Algebra is indeed a great invention which has helped our world in many ways. A lot of complex mathematical problems get solved with the help of Algebra.

I found this from your link. to bhai wo parsee hoga jab isne isne dimmag lagaya hoga...research main parsi ka dimmag laga tha na ki muslim ka...muslim bante hi to talwaar utha li hogi jihad ke liye kalam chhodkar....
"the pious preface to al-Khwarizmi's "Algebra" shows that he was an orthodox Muslim, so Al-Tabari's epithet could mean no more than that his forebears, and perhaps he in his youth, had been Zoroastrians."
I would suggest that you go through following two links;
1. http://www.ucs.louisiana.edu/~sxw8045/history.htm
2. http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Chronology/full.html
Once you have read the contents of above two links, you can workout yourself where the Arabs stand in the chronology of Algebra.

If we look at the history, then we find that human have evolved through out a long period of time. And this evolution is always based on some foundation. That foundation gets updated over the time by different civilizations. Therefore not a single community can take credit of overall development. It's a collaborative effort of different civilization throughout the history. Today western world is leading in the technology and tomorrow it will be Asia. And after Asia, it could be middle east. Things evolve over the time and different communities contributes accordingly. Therefore I am not arguing here about who's is the best and to be honest no one can be best on this earth. The definition of best keep on changing over the time. So Its about the contribution of a single community. Kindly contribute further.
Thanks
My friend, kindly discard such perception about a community. Its just the time when things are bit awkward and a community is in the grip of radicals. But one must not generalize the whole community. In today's contemporary world, you would find many Muslims excelling in various fields. Therefore lets not paint all with same brush!
Thanks!
