Erdogan slams ridicule over 'Muslims discovered Americas' claim

#6  I heard a theory that the Egyptians had made a trip, but islam had not been invented yet. Still, Selim I and Suleiman the Magnificent arguably ruled the most powerful empire of its day, and would have had access to all the knowledge of dar islam, yet had crude maps of Spain and Britain. So bullshit, unless the true believers burned that library and all record copies.

Islam did have its influence on discover the new world - the Islamic culture was so odious that desperate men loaded onto leaky vessels to sail over the edge of the world to avoid dar islam, and let's not forget the copious slave trade of dar islam.
