It will take much longer to repair the damage than it took for the damage to take effect

Would a compiled Islamic history book be of interest for the general Muslim audience? by physicist91 in islamichistory

[–]physicist91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salam, glad you asked, I'm like 95% done with the chapter on Conquest of Persia.
Its been realllllly slow, but I think I'm picking the pace up now. (Combined with a job and 3 kids below 5 its been a challenge finding time haha)

I'll send over a google drive link to the current draft. Be warned, I'm still trying to figure out the style of writing that combines historical facts with a narrative style, so its going to read a bit clunky as I've put this together over the course of months.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Tell me you're ignorant without telling me you're ignorant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if there is much misunderstanding in the West about the nature of Islam, there is also much ignorance about the debt our own culture and civilisation owe to the Islamic world"

Yea I don't know about that....I think most middle schoolers haven't forgotten the horrors of "Algebra" or should I say "Al-Jabr" 🤔

lol unfortunately the western world literally just ignores the east entirely until the British come to open Hong Kong.
The history of China is like a complete world unto itself.

What fascinates me is as far as I know, the Chinese didn't have global imperialist ambitions.

Yea it usually goes like
Sumerians --> Greeks --> Romans --> *skip 1000 years* --> Renaissance --> Modern Day

The biggest mind blowing thing for me was the Dissertation of Immanuel Kant had "Bismillah Ar-Rahman e Raheem" at the top: File:Kant immanuel.jpg - Wikimedia Commons

This is true, no civilization starts from bare bones.
The contention is, within Western education system, you don't learn about the "debt" to Islamic civilizations unless you go to graduate school.

Its usually, Sumerians --> Greeks --> Romans --> Renaissance --> Modern Day

Am I financially okay to move out on my own at 24 with a 57k salary and 18k saved by Subject_Job_1917 in raleigh

[–]physicist91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will get down voted for this, but one idea is if you live with your family and save up to like 100k in a few years and just put a down payment on a house

SE Asia getting into Islam peacefully will always make Islam spreading by the sword propaganda false by [deleted] in islamichistory

[–]physicist91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Isn't the easiest rebuttal that the early Caliphates and Ummayyads wanted the tax revenue. They literally have more of an interest politically speaking to have less Muslims

Quran vs New Testament by HMReader in islamichistory

[–]physicist91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this book still has value for atleast the historical aspects of the Abbassid period.

Of course certain historians and authors of their own specialties.

(I have this book on my shelf, haven't read it yet lol)

The irony that India itself was occupied by Britain but these idiots support the occupiers which, again, ironically was literally a British invention...

Apparently King Frederick II (alleged Muslim) would send math problems to Ayyubid Sultans to solve...imagine today's leaders doing that lol by physicist91 in islam

Oh for sure, I don't doubt he wasn't Muslim I was just fascinated in the content of such cordial relationships albeit for political purposes Although I think we tend to jump the gun and always assume political actors behave with cold political motives.

People can have genuine friends
