Actually, Innvertigo, I need to correct you on something: The majority of Muslims do not live in the Middle East. Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world,
that's true, however i'm using the middle east as a genuality, from the Sudan to Afganistan and the other "Stans" in Russia.
Quote:
I'd say the Middle East is where you tend to find the majority of Muslim extremists, which is one of the main reasons why people tend to associate Islam with that region.
very true, thanks for the correction, what's funny is that i'm talking about the extremists.

Your ignorance of Islam is fairly obvious. Only 18% of Muslims in the world are actually Arab. Keep tryin', kid.
That's why my original question mentions Muslims, maybe i should write it in arabic next time (arab is a genuality junior) noone cares about the sutble differences.

Not even gonna read this whole thread, but... What has anyone contributed to society.
there's too many to list, i'm not one of these people who falls for the "what is reality" thing. Western culture has contributed quite a bit, for example, your reading this on one of it's contributions.

So when you say 'contributions' are you referring to technological advancements? Again, if that is the case, it is due to islam being situated in developing 3rd world nations, not due to the religion. We can extrapolate this from the trend that no 3rd world non-industrialized developing countries really contribute to technological advancements with possible exceptions of contributing native plant species for medicine (which brings up the question, is Madagascar muslim? they contributed the rosy periwinkle flower for lukemia recovery).

Indonesia is not a 3rd world country, neither is Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. I'm not too picky on the contributions, anything will do. Have they helped with medicine, positive social change, inventions, cultural influences (minus homocide bombers)

There you go again - obviously lying (consistently and deliberately quoting untruly)is your forte.
Man maybe you should join a debating society and perhaps they can introduce you to the art.
Very poor, very very poor, very very very poor.
Keep on putting words in peoples mouths, false words that are your words, stops you having to consider any alternate realities doesn't it?
Why even ask someone elses opinion? You might as well talk to yourself.

Your question was: What have Muslims contributed to modern society.
I'd say that algebra has been extremely important - modern society's scientists and mathmeticians would be lost without it
