The fathers of Algebra were a Greek pagan Diophantes and an Indian pagan Aryabhata and not al-Khwazirmi as you claim

Our dear Hava who is a follower of deen al-irhab wa rab al-irhab wa rasul al-irhab tells us about Arab Muslims and science but it seems that he did not read what he posted otherwise he would have known that it is all bogus

Al Khwarizmi

Wrong al-Khwarizimi was not an Arab he was Persian

Your claim is bogus and more damaging to your case is that the real man who invented algebra was a Greek pagan and his name was Diophantes in the 2nd century CE several hundered years before al-Khwarizimi and Diophantes lived in pagan Alexandria

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantus

And he is indeed the father of Algebra and not al-Khwarizimi as you claimed and that his book Arithmetica is where we find the foundation of Algebra and he was "building on the knowledge of the Babylonians" (and more pagans!) and his work was far more sophisticated in comparison with that of al-Khwarizmi who used the work by another pagan! and that is the Indian mathematician Aryabhata in the 5th century CE

So you see our dear hava who ain't no Hava without pagans in Babylonia and India and Egypt and without Greeks and Hindus and Babylonians and without the translations of such works by Christian Nestorians in Baghdad from Greek to Syriac and Arabic al-Khawarizmi would have no work to do

And to add insult to injury al-Khawarizmi was not an Arab he was persian

Your masters the arabs? they were busy raping and ensalving and destroying great civilizations of late antiquity

How come you did not know that?

Oh and the zero? It was pagan Indians that invented it and not your masters the Arabs!

What a disaster pagans are the foundation of the so called Arabic language civilization and what we are left with now is Allah's book and its flat earth! What a disaster
