The biggest Muslim invention is that there are lots of Muslim inventions

December 15, 2010 By admin

Even this guy at the NYT isn’t buying it:

The exhibition, though, wildly overdoes it. First, it creates a straw man, reviving the notion, now defunct, of the Dark Ages. Then it overstates the neglect of Muslim science, which has, to the contrary, long been cited in Western scholarship. (…) The show’s inflated ambitions make it difficult to separate error from exaggeration, and implication from fact.
