   In answer to the question, in days of yore it was the Turks who sent huge ship loads of food to combat the famine in Ireland. Christians were welcomed with open arms and still live happily with Muslims in Jerusalem . Most recently when there were floods in the U.K. the Arabs and Muslim countries dispatched monetary aid, food and relief equip. there too. While aside from isolated unfortunate incidences many Expat families from the U.K. and the West in general have top ranking Jobs in Dubai , Saudi Arabia , and in general are welcomed to live , work and even reside indefinitely in those countries.
   As for Ground Zero and the sad plight of unfortunates there…it is clear now on the web that the plane which supposedly distroyed the two twin towers, and the Bldg. behind was of a model Not in use or allowed to be flown , meaning it was definitely not a Muslim plot, also the damage done was apparently due to detonation of explosives apparently as the steel in the bldgs. cannot melt as they did only by a plane explosion or fire from burning fuel, there are many more valid points why it was not an outside job that the article from a Western source mentions, sorry but I can not recall all of them.but those that I have are most visible ones for the subject.

   As for Youth , many a Western Lads are being sent to Schools in the U.S. and the West not to mention in Muslim countries, due to the reasonable fees that are taken, and more importantly because of the Peaceful and harmonious atmosphere that prevails in them.
   The myth that Islam does not encourage Knowledge is probably because of some Muslims who apparently live tribal lives in remote areas of countries and have virtually not a single concept of Islam per se’………..In Islam it is clear in the words of Last of The Prophets Mohammed P.B.U.H. who like all Moses, Abraham,Jesus, and 250,000 preceding them , Last of all Mohammed that man is to seek Knowledge from the cradle to the grave, even if he is to travel to the furtherest corner of the world. Islam .. The Intellectual Religion of Allah Karim, Allah All :Merciful One’s Gifted Nature to man, that which is within, and in of which is in his surroundings…… I do hope the above narrative clears some misconceptions , and wish all well , Shalom, Love, Salam Peace on our planet Earth.

   Please could you research these claims, most if not all of these “inventions” were about in many other cultures or they were added to by muslims eg algebra, mapping the stars. But to say baths is a joke, the romans created Bath the city when they invaded Britain years ago.Education was big in ancient Greece and Rome, the Chinese have had carpets and toothbrushes for millennia, maps have been found in babylon, asia and egypt predating the rise of islam. Certain Muslims did preserve and improve on many things but hardly the amount put forward in this article. Do some simple google searches and the origin of most of these will be more clear.

     Lionel, please note that this is a play on the famous Monty Python sketch about the Romans from their film, “The Life of Brian”, it’s not meant to be taken so seriously… However, since you have, I must point out that the claim was not that Muslims invented everything in that list, but that these are fields that Muslims have significantly contributed towards. Who can claim to have invented Education for instance? Every civilisation required some form of education. However, it is worth noting that the first universities built in Europe were built by Muslims in Spain. I didn’t realise the Chinese had toothbrushes and carpets, although I know the Persians had carpets for a very long time. Nevertheless, in Europe we didn’t have these things until after contact with Muslims. Many things like these were brought to Europe by returning Crusaders and others through Al Andalus (Muslim Spain) and the Ottoman Empire.

   Funny article!
   Another very important thing they brought to Europe was the modern system of numbers i.e 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 otherwise known as the arabic numerals – modifying a concept from India. People rightly say a lot of knowledge was taken from other cultures, eg paper from the Chinese, but the centralisation and enthusiastic spreading of knowledge allowed this, together with ancient greek texts, which were widely copied and translated and therefore preserved from decay and destruction.
