Rafsanjani sez : Europe indebted to Muslims (iranian especially) for scientific advancement
2007-08-16
Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said here Wednesday that undoubtedly, Europe owes its scientific development to Muslims scientists especially Iranians.
Yeah, muslim ivented practically *everything*, except the internet. Gore invented that.
He gonna covert?
"Unfortunately, the world of Islam is today in need of western science. The Islamic Revolution is determined to return that glorious era to the world of Islam. This is why enemies of Islam are hurling obstacles on the way under different pretexts," said Rafsanjani in an address to a group of the short-term students of the World Center of Islamic Sciences.

Rafsanjani said two scientific centers, i.e. Imam Khomeini International University in Qazvin and the World Center of Islamic Sciences in Qom, were established in the early years of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in order to foster unity in the world of Islam.

He added that knowledge about different aspects of religion and its teaching to the public is a scientific duty for those who are capable of learning and teaching. According to the EC Chairman, real science would always bring unity and affection while division would always deepens under the shadow of ignorance.

#3  Omar Khayyám, a Persian, is one of the great scholars in history, particularly in the area of mathematics. But his contribution has little in common with the thugs and lunatics who run modern Iran...

#1  Just another self-aggrandizing Islamic crapfest.

Unfortunately, the world of Islam is today in need of western science.

And that "science" is proctology.
