No, you twist the logic. A simpler way of posing your question is what have the 1 billion followers of a single religion contributed to the world since the days of 'Al-Jabar', 'Al-Khwarizmi', etc. from 1000 years ago ? They are always ready to boast about their contributions to the world thanks to the greatness of their religion which allows so much 'free thinking' in math, sciences, etc - but I asked a simple question - what has happened in the past 1000 years ? (only the Turks/Ottoman Empire was able to produce something around 500 years ago when they were at their pinnacle)...Medieval Islamic Mathematics

... from a 1000 years ago... that's my point, that's the sad irony. Since trig, quadratic equations, and so on, the rest of the world has literally produced several orders of magnitude more works in the sciences, math, philosophy, literature from 1000 years ago till now... but not much has come from the Islamic world. Of course there will be 'some' stuff but far, far, far from enough. Are you seriously trying to say that Arabic/Islamic world has produced anything comparable to the output of the US, Europe, China, India, Japan, Korea, Britain... it's like this Greek guy who was boasting about Aristotle, Aristophanes, Plato, Pythagoras, Socrates, etc... from 2,500 years ago to the American, who asked, "Yeah, but what have you guys done lately?!"

The Zero is a Hindu concept and invention, by an Indian scholar named Pingala, it is not Islamic. Euclidean geometry was Greek. Quadratic Equations were discovered as far back as the The Third Dynasty of Ur, also known as the Neo-Sumerian Empire or the Ur III Empire refers simultaneously to a 21st to 20th century BC (waaaaaaaay before any Mullahs appeared). The Indians invented the modern number system. It is often called Arabic numerals because it came to Europe through the Arabs. But Arabs themselves call it as "HindSaa" meaning - "given by Hindus or Indians". The Persians copied the Indian number system and then passed it on to the Arabs. Then an Italian mathematician named Fibonacci traveled to Algeria to study. When he came back home, he brought the Indian numerals with him. He wrote about the system in his book "Liber Abaci." This system soon gained wide acceptance throughout Europe. Today it is the number system used in practically the whole world. Your argument is in tatters
