Muslim scientific contributions? What contributions?

Dave:

Surprisingly, all those Muslim Scientists in the above link you quoted died over 1000 years ago. Are you trying to tell me that the world has stayed static since the coming of Islam?

Yes, what are the contributions of muslim scientists over the last 500 years? None, that I can find. Only those scientitsts who were born, educated and practised their sciences in muslim countries count. Sorry, those ones who were educated in western countries, worked in western supported research labs don't count because they were not supported by muslim countries and their universities, and muslim money and muslim science (?).
