Same old. Same old. Now move on and ruin some other thread. You obviously have no clue what you want to say.
For the third time, if you have any specific examples of peers vouching for the excellence of muslims scientists in the present day and age, bring them forward.
Anyway, getting past gupguppy’s distraction, a better discussion would be whether in recent times (20-21st century) there is credible progress in sciences by muslims, and if not, then the reasons for that and ways to remediate that. The following article provides a discussion, though I don’t necessarily agree with all points made there in. But its interesting, nevertheless. Some excerpts:
Sure, Muslims have claimed several accolades as proof of their contribution to scientific prowess. The most recent example of that is Dr. Ahmed Zewail, who won the 1999 Nobel Prize. Others have made contributions to the field, but on a much less notable level.
He believes that the known period of monumental contributions by Muslims was that of pre-renaissance. During that period of time, Muslims contributed works to every scientific field, from biology to astronomy. “The impact of science and technology on Islamic civilization has been the recognition of the contributions of Muslim scientists in the pre-renaissance era, accelerating the renaissance by at least 100 years in Europe,” Ahmad said.
However, today we face many obstacles in our struggle to return to that eminence. One such obstacle was discussed in the dialogue dealing with the fact that the languages of the Muslim lands have not been modernized, causing a separation between those dialects and the scientific language of our times. Ahmad said, “I know that in my own studies of the writings of Islamic scholars, the words used by them particularly on concepts and results of science are highly questionable.” He continued, saying, “I am not quite sure of the reasons for this but it may stem from a lack of culture in science and technology.”
Another obstacle that stands in our way is getting started on this path. Because there is either a lack of interest or finances going towards scientific research and study on the part of Muslim countries, many scholars are strapped with inadequate instruments by which to perform their various fields of research. In the end, this has caused some of the greatest Muslim thinkers to migrate to western countries.
When asked what he thought it would take to have a reawakening of sorts amongst Muslim thinkers, Ahmad said, “It will take the Muslims what it took the early Muslims - a quest for knowledge, knowing the knowledge as it exists regardless of its source and having the drive to discover and make a contribution to civilization.”
Khawarizmi quote ..: “That fondness for science… that affability and condescension which God shows to the learned, that promptitude with which he protects and supports them in the elucidation of obscurities and in the removal of difficulties, has encouraged me to compose a short work on calculating by al-Jabr [algebra] and al-Muqabala, confining it to what is easiest and most useful in arithmetic.”
