What have Muslims done for us?
It's our fault maths is hard, we invented algebra.
That caffeine addiction you have.
Our fault too. A sufi brewed the first batch of coffee.
We developed mechanical clocks, discovered optics & founded the world's first university, and much more!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Many falsities.
Algebra, Babylonians, 1900bce - before IslamĀ¹
Coffee, Ethiopia, 600 years before Muslim involvementĀ²
Mechanical clocks, EuropeansĀ³
Optics, Euclid, 300bce - before Islamā“
University of Bologna is the oldest universityāµ
