It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on………..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

Forever reblog.
Alhamdulillah.
wow
Thank God someone put this out there!
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t cow pox they were preventing it was small pox (which is way worse). And it was brought to England when lady Mary wortley montagu, went to Turkey and visited a bath house she noticed none of the women there had small pox scars (which she did). So she asked a few locals about it and found out about inoculation. Btw inoculation is basically cutting open your skin and putting some pus from a small pox pustule, from someone with a mild case of small pox, then wrapping up the cut with gaze. You would get sick but not as bad as the person you got it from. Then you were pretty much protected from getting smallpox after that. Only a small percentage died from inoculation. So yea lady mary brought it to England, and was able to get supporters from it because she had some power and money cuz her husband was in politics or something. And in the states dr zabdiel Boylston got the idea from his assistant/servant who was black and knew some other black people from I think the Caribbean who did this as well. Oh and both lady Mary and Boylston tested it out on their kids first. They couldn’t do it on themselves since they both had smallpox and knew well enough at the time that if you survived small pox you wouldn’t get it again.
So yes the Muslim people did invent inoculation along with many others. But Jenner did think of using cow pox to protect against smallpox.
Islamic history is great, because everyone thinks of the Middle Ages as some dark time between the Roman Empire and the Renaissance when in actuality just east of Europe all the Muslims were like, “Sorry, I can’t hear you over your witch burning, we’re too busy inventing chemistry.”
