1) Merely because a human being has an arabic name does not mean he is a muslim.

2) Merely because a scientist has an arabic name does not mean his science is resulting from the kuran and therefore can be called islamic.

3) A P J Abdul Kalam, the space-engineer ex-president of India, never claimed his discoveries and constructions were based on the kuran. When asked for his most important book he replied "the Bhagvadgita" (and not the kuran) and the muslims in India were quite angry about it.

4) Islamic is what comes from the kuran and kuran only and from no other source. The kuran has not contributed crucially or uniquely or unambiguously to any science, engineering, music, painting, architecture, sociology etc. during the past 1400 years. Low-intelligence mullahs however like to teach the muslim children that everything good comes the kuran and kuran only and you seem to be a victim of this propaganda and manipulation.
