→"Islam Facilitated the Golden Age of Scientific Discovery
====The Myth====

"''Islam fostered a rich heritage of scientific discovery, 'paving the way' for modern advances in technology and medicine.''"
"''Islam fostered a rich heritage of scientific discovery, 'paving the way' for modern advances in technology and medicine.''"
====Rebuttal====
Islam tends to discourage knowledge outside of itself (Quran 5:101-102). Additionally there are 4 simple reasons as to why Islam has no true claim to scientific achievement:
1. The Muslim world benefited off of the Greek Sciences, translated to them by dhimmi Christians and Jews.
2. Many of the scientific advances credited to Islam were actually stolen from other cultures conquered by Muslims. For example, the mathematical concept of "zero", was a Hindu discovery, falsely attributed to Islam by the modern day Leftist academia.
3. The best scientists of the Muslim world were often considered heretics in their days. Al-Razi, a Persian scientist and philosopher was denounced as a "blasphemer" for following his own religious beliefs.
