Education Post 9-11. Timeline of Historical Inventions

Tekee · Nov 24, 2009

This is the kind of "inventions" we need to now attribute to Muslim inventors.
Computers, robots (they are toys for gods sake!), erectile dysfunction treatment, movable structures (whatever that is), syrup, chemotherapy and cancer treatments were invented in Islamic world, university (you know, forget the Greeks), novels, historical novels, physiological novels, (all deserve separate entries), steam power, steam engine in the Ottoman Empire. O and get this, Muslims invented the railroad too :rolleyes:

If we forget the Industrial Revolution and precisely its exclusion of the Ottoman Empire. :rolleyes:

This whole list is a sign of how education is done, history specificially. European achievement is marginalized so extremely to include the "others"
Like if going through the list, Europeans invented only 4 major inventions from 600-1600. In a thousand years.
And instead we have things like, "Conceal weapons and shurikens were first invented in Japan in 1600's)
:rolleyes:

The title is "Inventions that have a had a major impact on human history".

Spoiler :

For more laughs, read the middle ages section. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_historic_inventions
Lol Indus River Valley civilization is a non-muslim, (but still from that general area) who is sucking up for more inventions. They actually invented toilets?! :O But what do the current inhabitants of the Indus river valley civilization use? :mischief:

Source?

Don't worry, they all have a major educational source backing each of their claims.
Just the major educational sources are the ones to blame.

those educational sources are so unreliable. i'd trust you over them any day. i think it's sad that they all want us to believe that eastern europeans have contributed absolutely nothing to mankind, i don't know why they would think something like that.

all those muslim and chinese names sound really fake; the librul media probably made them all up to minimize the effect of europeans on the world.

It is now mandatory to include lists of Islamic inventions in each history class. Like we did it today. It was so awkwardly done by the teacher. It is like she had a guy with a gun behind her telling her SAY IT! SAY IT!
But after the mandatory 2 day Things we should be thankful for Islam for, we go back to learning the curriculum Western History. :mischief:

You were asked for a source. Your reply to not worry our pretty little heads over it does not constitute a source.

Citation bloody well needed.

Having taken history before 9/11, I can assure you it's not a new addition the curriculum.

Heh, actually I explain that as English Jingoism of the 1800's against Russia.
Because for instance, I looked at the Russian version of the "Timeline of Historical Inventions"
And it is normal in my eyes. What this list should look like.
Except do you Englishman, contest that Shoe Polish is an important invention of the world? And that it was invented in Russia of the 1300's.

He said the list was copied from Wikipedia in the OP...

Yah I remember that, I think History class in Canada is more about Native Americans than Europeans.

Ahahaha Very funny...

Riffraff · Nov 24, 2009

You see, in the industrialized world we don't need shoe polish, first because we don't spend our days wading through horse manure like russians do in the siberian countryside, secondly because we can buy new shoes with the all money our government didn't confiscate. So yes, I contest that shoe polish is "an important invention of the world." I am glad you appreciate it, even if, as your op suggests, you don't appreciate computers, cancer treatments, and syrup.

This isn't anything new, like somebody already said. What's so bad about learning about other parts of the globe, anyway? :confused:

The gist is that a surfeit of political correctness has spurred overzealous educators to abandon facts in their attempt to assign certain parts of the globe a requisite number of inventions, so as to make them feel important or some crap like that.

I never learned anything about Muslims or Islam.

The suffering of the Jewish and Black population however was pounded into our heads.
