From Stark's 'How the West was Won' [and my subtitle, Why Islam is such a failure]; a list of 52 prominent scientists during the 16th and 17th centuries. 50% Catholic, 50 % Protestant, with only one – Edmund Halley – a self-confessed agnostic. But remember these remarkable men sprouted like mushrooms after a rain, all before was 'dark' and they owed nothing to medieval creation, invention or intelligence. Or perhaps pace the Marxist revisionists [those who possess very large brains], these men 'stole' everything from those creative, innovative Arabs......[you know concepts like Jihad, child-bride marriages, female genital mutilation, crucifying Christians, slavery etc]

Show me a similar list of Moslems and Chinese. Or in the case of Islam, maybe take the European name and Moslemify it, which seems to be the only 'proof' we have of Islam creating anything.
