Racist Neo-Fascist LudwigVanQuixote goes on a rant full of alternate history and distortions.

Let’s go and pick apart his lies.

Wingnuts now routinely claim that Muslims had nothing to do with Algebra. Really? Algebra is an Arabic word!

Algebra is not an Arabic word! In fact it’s Syriac, the language of the Chaldeans!

In the preface to his Arithmeticae libri duo et totidem Algebrae (1560) he says: “The name Algebra is Syriac, signifying the art or doctrine of an excellent man.

Even if we give the Arabs the benefit of the doubt with the name, at most that’s what they contributed! Most of the Scholars were Chaldean, Jews or Persians. In fact the great Medieval Algebra mathematician, Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī was Persian.

Few details of al-Khwārizmī’s life are known with certainty, even his birthplace is unsure. His name may indicate that he came from Khwarezm (Khiva), then in Greater Khorasan, which occupied the eastern part of the Greater Iran, now Xorazm Province in Uzbekistan. Abu Rayhan Biruni calls the people of Khwarizm “a branch of the Persian tree”.^[10]

Who invented Algebra, well it wasn’t the Arabs!

The mathematical principals of algebra have their roots in distant history with the ancient Babylonians. As far back as 1900 BC, the Babylonians used algebra to solve for unknown variables. At that point, the Greeks and the Chinese were still using geometric methods to solve mathematical problems, instead of utilizing algebraic equations. The Babylonians were the first people to use algebraic formulas to solve problems, but they didn’t refine the practice.

That right, the Babylonians of whom, the Chaldeans are their descendants.

They claim there was no Muslim golden age in Spain.

A foreign occupation of another land and the people used as slaves, is not a golden age.

Apologists for Islam never tire of referring to the “Golden Age” of tolerance that supposedly characterized seven centuries of Muslim dominated Spain. This fundamentally flawed assessment draws the wrong conclusion based on fragmentary evidence and distorts the larger picture. It ignores the reality of enormous destruction wrought by the three Arab-Berber Muslim invasions that repeatedly sought to hold on to control and rule over the indigenous peoples of Spain who had been reduced to second class citizens in their own homeland.

By his standards, Vichy France  was a Nazi Golden Age!

I wonder who built the Alhambra

It was the last Islamic occupiers in Granada, who by that time were reduced to a small emirate.

The founder of the dynasty, Muhammed Al-Ahmar, began with the restoration of the old fortress. His work was completed by his son Muhammed II, whose immediate successors continued with the repairs. The construction of the palaces (called Casa Real Vieja, “old Royal House or Palace”) dates back to the 14th century and is the work of two great kings: Yusuf I and Muhammed V. To the first we owe, among others, the “Cuarto de Comares” (Chamber of Comares), the “Puerta de la Justicia” (Gate of Justice), the Baths and some towers. His son, Muhammed V, completed the beautification of the palaces with the “Cuarto de los Leones” (Chamber of the Lions), as well as other rooms and fortifications.

Nothing Golden about one building! In fact the real Golden Age of Spain occured in the 1500 and 1600′s!

After the Age of Exploration, innumerable amounts of gold and silver poured into Spain from the newly discovered Americas, and the country slowly became one of the wealthiest nations in the world. By the 16th century, Spain entered a period of cultural and intellectual prowess, known as its “Golden Age.” Recognized for the burgeoning of its literary, dramatic, and visual arts, Spain’s Golden Age was also marked by the growing dominance of the Roman Catholic Church and its attempt to suppress all heresy through the Inquisition.

Due in part to a political unification in Spain near the beginning of the 16th century, Spanish literature was imbued with patriotism and religious zeal, and included allusions to earlier epics and ballads. The literary arts flourished with the advent of the picaresque novel-comedies focusing on the adventures of lower class rogues-a genre that replaced the then-popular chivalric and pastoral novels. By far the most popular novel in this genre was Miguel de Saavedra’s Don Quixote. Numerous works of religious literature also dominated during the period, including the spiritual writings of St. Teresa of Ávila, Luis de León, and St. John of the Cross.

But this doesn’t mean anything to Ludwig, who is a supporter of Islamic Imperialists and a bigot against Hispanics.

He then claims there were no advanced Christian cities during the Middle Ages.

The historical reality is that in the 900′s Damascus had gaslights, sewers and running water, while London was mostly mud huts and had feces crusted streets.

Obviously Ludwig is implying there was no civilized Christian City. This turns out to be a lie!

So many rich churches and monasteries, imperial or private palaces, not to speak of the luxury of the court and the great imperial dignitaries, naturally excited the covetousness of barbarian peoples. Constantinople had, therefore, to sustain numberless sieges; it was attacked in 378 by the Goths, by the Avars and Persians during the reign of Heraclius (610-41), by the Arabs during the reign of ConstantineArabs under Moslemeh in 717; many times also by Bulgarians, Patzinaks, Russians, and Khazars. But the city always defied its besiegers, thanks to the solidity of its walls, often to the valour of its soldiers, but chiefly to the gold that it distributed in profusion. More grievous, perhaps, were the domestic conflicts that broke out in almost every new reign: the quarrels between the Blue and Green factions that clamoured for imperial favour in the races of the hippodrome; the conflagrations and earthquakes that sometimes levelled the city with the ground, e.g. the conflagration that broke out during the Nika revolt (532), on which occasion Justinian nearly lost his throne, more than 80,000 persons were killed, and fire destroyed the greater part of the city. Pogonatus (668-85), and again by the

Wow an advanced Christian city in that time frame. Another Omission is that most of these gas lights and running water were in Damascus before the Islamic conquest. He also leaves out Venice, which was an advanced city as well!

The reality is that most of the learning that brought Europe out of the Dark ages, was preserved by the Muslims, in their great Spanish universities.

Another lie, let us look at how Europe came out the Dark Ages!

Byzantium played an important role in the transmission of classical knowledge to the Islamic world and to Renaissance Italy. Its rich historiographical tradition preserved ancient knowledge upon which splendid art, architecture, literature and technological achievements were built. It is not an altogether unfounded assumption that the Renaissance could not have flourished were it not for the groundwork laid in Byzantium, and the flock of Greek scholars to the West after the fall of the Empire. The influence of its theologians on medieval Western thought (especially on Thomas Aquinas) was profound, and their removal from the “canon” of Western thought in subsequent centuries has, in the minds of many, only served to impoverish the canon.

That’s right, The Islamic world and the Western world both got their knowledge from the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire.

The fact is the Arabs conquered advanced  nations in the 7th century.  The people of these nations had all this so-called knowledge that Progressive historians attribute to the Arabs. What the Arabs did was translate and preserved these works. They did not create anything new or innovate as Islam is a parasite. Once the Dhimmi populations declined and these areas became increasingly Islamicized these societies went into decline.  That is why the West overtook Dar Al Islam. These are historical truths, this fake Scientist, Wannabe Rabbi and deranged man LudwigVanQuixote doesn’t mention.

He fails yet again in his Progressive spin!
