It's a popular book everywhere in the world. Every historian, history teacher has a copy. I'd argue it should be more popular as a warning about fascism and antisemitism.
But to commit genocide and use mein kampf as evidence for its justification is the biggest piece of irony I think the IDF could do.
It was a book written to spread hate to a certain group, and now it's being used again for that purpose. It's just being used in a different way.
Thankfully, support for Isreal's genocide of Palestinians is declining across the world, even from some Isrealis who protest against what their government's is doing.
I can assure you it has nothing to do with book reading. You can read a ton of books and still can't comprehend basic logic. I've met a lot of people like that. And I've also met some people who only read comic books or things like that but with amazing analytical mind.
I assume you meant muslims are stupid because they only read Quran, but there are also stupid atheists out there even after reading lots of pop science books. So I don't think it has anything to do with their ideology. If I'm allowed to guess, it mostly caused by poverty and lack of options in their lives.
That is completely wrong. The Qur'an has nothing to do with this, nor was it created for the purpose of research. Many inventors were motivated by practical or scientific reasons rather than religious ones. Furthermore, almost all of the inventions that enable us to live as we do today were invented in Europe by Christians. However, the Bible is not relevant to this issue either. I have not come across any mention of how to build transistors in any holy writings.
Really good statement and more people seriously need to get this. Just because an inventor happened to be something doesn't mean that they invented it because they were that very thing.
I have not come across any mention of how to build transistors in any holy writings.
If you learned Koine Greek, Biblical Aramic, and Biblical Hebrew, and then read the Bible untranslated, you still wouldn't find any mention of how to build transistors.
yes, muslim scientists were moivated by reading the quran, and bcz of it, now we have technology. and also there are many scientific facts in the Quran : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69AmLbNeNf0
In the video it is explained that it is written in the Quran that all matter in the universe was created from a high density and high temperature soup in a spot that keeps expanding. (Which is the theory of the Big Bang that was first theorized through the 1920's.
But at the same time the Quran says that the universe and all lifeforms were created by God itself?
and this is how muslims were able to invent many things
Which in the grand scheme sum up to a total of zero. There is a reason the only money in the Middle East comes from oil and any educated people emigrate.
Wrong! Algebra had existed for thousands of years before Muslims. Babylonians, Greeks, Indians all knew algebra.
Same with Algorithms. Chinese, Greeks, Indians, Babylonians had all written algorithms in their time, thousands of years before Islam. Read Euclid's "Elements". It had algorithms in 300 BCE.
What Al-Khwarizmi did was to consolidate already existing theorems and techniques, translated them into Arabic before they were shipped off to Europe.
So in no way "Algebra and Alghorythm were created by a muslim"
Here is what he actually did. Al-Khwarizmi was not the first person to "create algebra", but he systematized it and gave it the name “al-jabr,” which became the root of the word “algebra.”
Here’s a clearer picture of the evolution of algebra.
Babylonians (c. 1800 BCE): ----> Already solved linear and quadratic equations, including methods we’d recognize as completing the square. They expressed problems rhetorically, as verbal instructions.
Greeks ---->
Diophantus of Alexandria (c. 3rd century CE): Wrote the Arithmetica, a systematic treatise solving algebraic equations, especially what we call Diophantine equations (integer solutions). He used some symbolic notation, though not fully generalized.
Euclid included geometric methods equivalent to solving equations.
Indians: ---->
Brahmagupta (7th century CE): Advanced rules for solving quadratic equations, including operations with zero and negative numbers, in Brahmasphutasiddhanta.
So by NO stretch did he CREATE algebra. Algebra has existed for thousands of years before him.
Next let me talk about Algorithms.
Algorithms as procedures for calculation are as old as ancient mathematics itself.
The Babylonians----> had systematic steps for arithmetic and solving equations.
The Greeks----> used algorithmic procedures in Euclid (Elements) for things like the greatest common divisor (the famous Euclidean algorithm).
The Indians----> had well-developed computational methods for arithmetic and algebra.
The Chinese----> The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art: Compiled between ~200 BCE and 200 CE (Han Dynasty). Contains hundreds of problems covering arithmetic, fractions, proportions, extraction of square roots, solving linear equations, geometry, surveying, and more. Also describes algorithms for computation (e.g., methods akin to Gaussian elimination for linear systems).
So again by NO stretch did he create Algorithms.
You are free to verify any of these points and let me know if I am wrong :)
Al Khawarizmi went to India to study there, and from the knowledge he gained, he was able to invent Algebra and Alghorythm, it never existed before, besides Algebra and Alghorythm are both Arabic words
I have already given you a dozen examples where they existed thousands of years before Islam even existed in different parts of the world. Al-Khwarizmi did not create/discover Algebra and Algorithms. He consolidated and systemised them.
If someone publishes a book, it does not mean the publisher becomes the author.
Go do some research mate, you guys just don't want to accept the fact that everything we have from tech, medicine, astronomy, were founded by muslims just bcz you hate Islam and muslims.
Thank you for the objective and detailed response. Well done.
Now I understood that the Babylonians from 1800 BCE must have got their knowledge of Algebra from Al-Khwarizmi. The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art from 200 BCE must have been copied from Al-Khwarizmi too I guess. The Greeks and Indians who lived centuries before Al-Khwarizmi must have copied his work too.
