Muslim Heritage
Modern Civilization didnt rise from nothing. It rose right on top of the Muslim Civilization! This blank part in history is actually at the core of our improvements. Lets not stay ignorant to this entire period of human history that has contributed so much to our well being today. I think its a responsibility to not only tell this to others, but to learn it ourselves.
http://www.muslimheritage.com/ can help you discover 1000 years of history.
“If there is much misunderstanding in the West about the nature of Islam, there is also much ignorance about the debt our own culture and civilisation owe to the Islamic world. It is a failure, which stems, I think, from the straight-jacket of history, which we have inherited. The medieval Islamic world, from central Asia to the shores of the Atlantic, was a world where scholars and men of learning flourished. But because we have tended to see Islam as the enemy of the West, as an alien culture, society, and system of belief, we have tended to ignore or erase its great relevance to our own history.”
