In many ways it is. But they have given as much as the Greeks, Romans and the Church.

The Beauty of Islamic Architecture is much of it is still with us and is there for us to see should we chose to look.

Distilling affects many processes in life, for them it was in Medicinal use and the creation of perfumes.

Maybe, but I'm still glad they invented it and I will offer up a toast to them when I raise that first pint to my lips in the Greyhound tomorrow afternoon!

Incidentally, Ian, I couldn't help having a little chuckle at your theory that the veil was for "marrying an ugly daughter off"...I'd never thought of that!

That is really interesting.

If I'd been asked "Who invented quilting I would have said the Americans, and of course Holland with Windmills

Cheers Doug, I see what you mean now

The real point is that the Islamic world pulled peoples, cultures and teachings together, they worked with and integrated with other religions to promote learning and respect, it was the Islamic world that saved much of the Greek and other ancient libraries that have passed down to us today. This is a culture we’re talking about that still exists, not those who seek to change the world with there own views.
