Reader comment on item: Assessing Obama's Cairo Speech

Submitted by paul morton (Canada), Jun 4, 2009 at 12:03

the president a week ago or so spoke of the contributions Muslims have made to the world. i know they invented mathamatics and a nemerical system in the 6th century..Soup somewhat later .and suicide bombers in the 20th century [although ,the concept may have been stolen from the Tamils ] Does anyone know of any other significant positive contributions that Muslims have made?
