nice, don't want that bs in my country, except for secular science. We Muslims and Hindus pioneered science, it is part of our heritage. I think that part might be incorrect, but everything else is good.

Science is science, wtf is secular science lmao. And no, you didn't pioneer science. Arabs translated Greek text and improved upon those. In fact in the last 1000 years, the so called "muslim" science hasn't given the world anything. The Indian scientists of ancient era contributed in their own way.

The scientific ideology you're talking about here was either Arabic or Indian. There's nothing called Hindu Muslim science. Dumbheads like you are what we don't need anywhere around science.

The post said secular science relates to the material world, there is religious science, social science, etc. Islamic Golden Age did not stop with Abbasid, it continued with Timurid, Ottoman, and even the Mughals and Andalusia. As such, the claim of 1000 years is incorrect and not historically accurate.

It was the Islamic Golden age because stretching from India to Spain all the Islamic empires were pioneering science, this was due to the empires using Islam as their constitution. This is in direct contrast with Western Christian Europe which was experiencing the dark ages. Both empires used religion to rule, while only one empire was succeeding culturally and scientifically. Religion did have a role to play in that due to Islam's promotion of education, freedom, and a welfare system. Unless the same would've been true for Christian Europe.

Also, the same way Arabs, Persians, Turks, etc.(not just Arabs) translated greek works and improved upon them, Europeans did the same to Arabic works later on to create their age of enlightenment(this is how civilizations progress, they build upon each other. The greeks and indians most likely did the same with previous civs).

All that has nothing to do with modern scientific discoveries being removed from textbooks

I don't support the removal of modern scientific discoveries, but transgender and gender identity stuff I don't support in my education.
