Your outrageous remarks on western civilisation and Islam were not only a slur on the Arab civilisation but on Islam itself. What is even more worrying is that your remarks seemed to be supported by Russian President, Mr. Vladmir Putin, when he is reportedly to have said that, Islamic Fundamentalism is a danger growing like virus. And the German Foreign Minister, Yoschca Fischer, sees Islam as a danger, because it would lead to the destruction of Israel. His remark completely ignores the justice of the Palestinians struggle for their homeland. None of these sentiments would have been expressed I believe, if President

Extractions: The Religion of ISLAM " This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as your religion Islam." (Quran, Surah V:3) Islam is a religion based upon the surrender to God who is One. The very name of the religion, ALISLAM in Arabic, means at once submission and peace, for it is in submitting to God's Will that human beings gain peace in their lives in this world and in the hereafter. The message of Islam concerns God, who in Arabic is called Allah, and it addresses itself to humanity's most profound nature. It concerns men and women as they were created by Godnot as fallen beings. Islam therefore considers itself to be not an innovation but a reassertion of the universal truth of all revelation which is God's Oneness. For Muslims, or followers of Islam, the Quran is the actual Word of God revealed through the archangel Gabriel to the Prophet of Islam during the twenty-three-years period of his prophetic mission. It was revealed in the Arabic language as a sonoral revelation which the Prophet repeated to his companions. Arabic became therefore the language of Islam even for non-Arab Muslims. Under the direction of the Prophet, the verses and chapters were organized in the order known to Muslims to this day. There is only one text of Quran accepted by all schools of Islamic thought and there are no variants. The Quran is the central sacred reality of Islam. The sound of the Quran is the first and last sound that a Muslim hears in this life. As the direct Word of God and the embodiment of God's Will, the Quran is considered as the guide par excellence for the life of Muslims. It is the source of all Islamic doctrines and ethics. Both the intellectual aspects of Islam and Islamic Law have their source in the Quran. Perhaps there is no book revered by any human collectivity as much as the Quran is revered by Muslims. Essentially a religion of the book, Islam sees all authentic religions as being associated with a scripture. That is why Muslims call Christians and Jews the "people of the book".

Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci In these conditions appearance of the mathematical book Liber abaci And whyhis mathematical works are so important for the WestEuropean mathematics? http://www.goldenmuseum.com/0401Fibonacci_engl.html
Extractions: Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci The "Middle Ages" in our consciousness associate with the concept of inquisition orgy, campfires, on which witches and heretics are incinerated, and crusades for "the body of God". The science in those times obviously was not "in a center of society attention". In these conditions appearance of the mathematical book "Liber abaci" ("the book about an abacus"), written in 1202 by the Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano (by the nickname of Fibonacci) was the relevant event in the "scientific life of society". Who was Fibonacci? And why his mathematical works are so important for the West-European mathematics? To answer these questions it is necessary to reproduce the historical epoch, in which Fibonacci lived and worked. One of the most interesting persons of the Crusades epoch, a harbinger of the Renaissance epoch, was the emperor Fridrich Gogenstaufen, an apprentice of the Sicilian Arabs and an admirer of the Arabian culture. At his palace in Pisa the greatest European mathematician of the Middle Ages Leonardo Pisano (by the nickname of Fibonacci that means the son of Bonacci) lived and worked. Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci (1170-1228) About Fibonacci life it is known a little. Even the exact date of his birth is obscure. It is supposed, that Fibonacci was born in the eighth decade of the 12th century (presumptively in 1170). His father was a merchant and a government official, the representative of the new class of the businessmen generated by the "Commercial Revolution". In that time the city of Pisa was one of the largest commercial Italian centers actively cooperating with the Islam East, and Fibonacci's father traded in one of the trading posts, founded by Italians on the northern coast of Africa. Due to this circumstance he can give his son, the future mathematician Fibonacci, good mathematical education in one of the Arabian educational institutions.

Raziuddin Siddiqi, Vice-chancellor, University of Sind In this monograph, it is our purpose to give a brief account of the contribution of the Muslim people to the various branches of natural science. Before proceeding with the main theme, however, it seems desirable to explain the attitude of Islam towards scientific knowledge. It is generally recognized that learning and acquiring knowledge is the fundamental right of every human being. But this was not always so. For a long time in human history, learning was considered to be the prerogative of a certain privileged class of people variously known as priests and kahin s. The common man was prevented from having any access to knowledge under the threat of serious penalties and dire consequences. Later on this restriction was removed, but it was Islam which for the first time made it obligatory on all the believers to acquire knowledge. This democratization of knowledge with the consequent liberation of the human spirit and mind brought about by Islam was the greatest revolution in human affairs. In the very first verse of the Quran revealed to him, the Prophet of Islam (

Yemen Arabs, name originally applied to the Semitic peoples of the Arabian peninsula; now used also for populations of countries whose primary language is Arabic, e.g., Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, and Yemen. Socially, Arabs are divided into the settled fellahin (villagers) and the nomadic Bedouin. The invasions of Muslims from Arabia in the 6th and 7th cent. diffused the Arabic language and Islam, the Arabic religion. At its peak the Arab empire extended from the Atlantic Ocean across North Africa and the Middle East to central Asia. A great Arab civilization emerged in which education, literature, philosophy, medicine, mathematics, and science were highly developed. In Europe the Arab conquests were particularly important in Sicily, from the 9th to late 11th cent., and in Spain, in the civilization of the Moors. In the 20th cent., Arab leaders have attempted to unite the Arab-speaking world into an Arab nation. Since 1945 most Arab countries have joined the Arab League. In 1982, member nations had a total population estimated at 43 million. Several of these countries control two thirds of the world's oil reserves and are members of OPEC. Since 1948 disputes with the state of Israel have resulted in Arab-Israeli Wars.
