1. Islam is the MAIN reason why science is in europe in the first place exists. Most of the scientific books from the past were somehow related to Europe and Asia and then the Roman empire got destroyed, Greek texts were lost (Guess who? religion abused through corrupt christians priests). and what did islam do? simple: It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: The Messenger of Allah said “Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim”. AND: It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah said: “…Whoever follows a path in pursuit of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise... This resulted in muslims translating the books they could find about any knowledge to be translated. They see it as a way to enter paradise and to teach the future generations would increase your likelyhood. Europe was pretty much crumbling until the renaissance came and where did they go to read about how to retrieve the knowledge of the greek and roman texts? well, from Istanbul of course, the city that belongs to the muslims. I recommend you watching Crash course if you'd like.
