This is hilariously ignorant bro. Like a quick wikipedia search should correct you.
List of inventions in the medieval Islamic world - Wikipedia
Some of it is questionable but most of the list is legitimate for instance:
Arabesque - Wikipedia
Damascus steel - Wikipedia
Tin-glazing - Wikipedia
Panemone windmill - Wikipedia
History of algebra - Wikipedia
- Chess manual: The oldest known chess manual was in Arabic and dates to 840–850, written by Al-Adli ar-Rumi (800–870), a renowned Arab chess player, titled Kitab ash-shatranj (Book of Chess). During the Islamic Golden Age, many works on shatranj were written, recording for the first time the analysis of opening moves, game problems, the knight's tour, and many more subjects common in modern chess books.[27]
- Automatic crank: The non-manual crank appears in several of the hydraulic devices described by the Banū Mūsā brothers in their Book of Ingenious Devices.[28] These automatically operated cranks appear in several devices, two of which contain an action which approximates to that of a crankshaft, anticipating Al-Jazari's invention by several centuries and its first appearance in Europe by over five centuries. However, the automatic crank described by the Banu Musa would not have allowed a full rotation, but only a small modification was required to convert it to a crankshaft.[25]: 23–24
- Conical valve: A mechanism developed by the Banu Musa, of particular importance for future developments, was the conical valve, which was used in a variety of different applications.[25]: 23
- Control valve: The Banu Musa brothers are credited with the first known use of conical valves as automatic controllers.[29]
- Cryptanalysis and frequency analysis: In cryptology, the first known recorded explanation of cryptanalysis was given by Al-Kindi (also known as "Alkindus" in Europe), in A Manuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages. This treatise includes the first description of the method of frequency analysis.[30][31]
- Double-seat valve: It was invented by the Banu Musa, and has a modern appearance in their Book of Ingenious Devices.

Kamal (navigation) - Wikipedia
Alhazen's problem - Wikipedia
Fountain pen - Wikipedia
- Anesthetic sponge: Invented by al-Zahrawi and Ibn Zuhr. Used a sponge soaked with narcotic drugs and placed it on patient's face.[101] These Muslim physicians were the first to use an anesthetic sponge.[102]

Yeah so a question like "What have Muslims ever contributed to humanity?" Is a pretty dumb question.
WTF? Are you talking about? How am I "destroying my credibility" by saying nothing? I never said Scotty was right. I'm not obligated to correct everyone who makes a wrong statement.
Aren't you the one who usually simps for fiscal conservatives that are "fuck the poor I got mine!" Anyway most Christians besides evangelicals and neo protestants do support compassion for the downtrodden and helping the sick and the poor.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn't mean you. I meant that lies destroy credibility.
No.
Quite true. Evangelicals are unusual.
1.Northern Crusades - german idea,stopped by Poland.And,in 1415,pope and Church agreed to polish idea that pagans could have their own states,and are not property of german emperors.
2.Cathars was death cult which divided people into ruling elites which wanted suicide,and massess who could fuck whatever they like becouse this world do not matter.Killing them was right thing.
3. 30-years war - protestants tried to wipe out catholics.They failed,and survived only thanks to french catholics help.
Algebra - arabs get it from greeks,numbers - from India,and golden age was all greek philosophy.

1. Yeah you are leaving out quite a bit of info. Like the fact that Poland asked for and invited the Teutonic Order in to deal with the pagans.
2. Fair enough.
3. Yup.
As for the last thing EVERYONE improves on what was given before. Can we say western nations did not invent machine guns, and tanks and etc. because China invented gunpowder first and used it in a more primitive way?
Indeed.And we paid for that later.
To be precise - Mazovian prince/Konrad Mazowiecki/ had problem with invading prussians,and murdered his best commander who was capable of dealing with them.
So what he did ? welcomed german monks,of course.Who take part of his lands later as "thank you"
One of many times,when our rulers fucked our country becouse they were,well,cunts.
Only in small numbers in muslim case - they rarely improved anything.
Which is logical - science mean seeking laws of Nature,and for muslims such laws could not exists.Becouse everything is thanks to Allah whims.

Yup this is relavent.
I mean I just got done making a huge ass list of what they did. It's not really rare it's quite a lot. See there is a hierarchy at the top are Eastern Orthodox, Catholics, and Buddhists.
Then are high church protestants,
Then higher tier pagans like Ancient Greeks or Asians(though this might go with Buddhist)
Then Muslims,
Then it's the average pagan
then low church protestants,
and finally at the bottom are your tribal tier pagans and shamans who are animists.

Historical arguments are irrelevant anyway. The Christian Church in the West is, except for places in America, isolated from power and rapidly losing supporters. The traditionalist Christianity collapsed centuries ago.
It's nowhere near as dangerous as the Islamic community, which still has state backing in multiple countries. To put it this way: there are no Western countries where apostasy is a sin, or punishable by death.
The Christians who want to ban abortion and slaughter/reeducate vast swaths of the population and teach about Creationism in the schools are currently not much of a threat. The Muslims who want to kill literally the same swaths of people and also those who depict their Prophet, plus establish Theocracy, absolutely are.

I'm not sure this is a meme so much as a Public Safety Announcement

Correct.
Here is a map of states by their official religion for reference:
As we can see here Muslim states (various shades of green) overwhelmingly dominate the planet. Even the largest Christian-majority countries do not recognize Christianity as their official state religion, here owing to the inherent theocratic extremism of modern day Islam.

Well,nice,but prussians do not have pikemans.Schieldwall at best.
Eastern Orthodox inventions ? expect toys of ERE,notching come to mind.
Every end of modernity I've seen ends with the intelectual class being purged.
I used to wonder why the fuck that kept happening.
I now know why and it depresses me greatly.

On Spanish eyewitness accounts...people somehow forget that those who preceded the Spanish were as brutal if not more. I think here someone or somewhere else just reminded everyone that pre-Colombian America was like a cult from WH40K.
