The current clash between the West and the East makes many people say that Muslims bring only woes to our world. Terrorism has imprinted negative perceptions about them in our minds. But would we really miss if there were no Muslims in the world?
Here is a list of things discovered or invented by people of the East and those coming from Muslim civilization. Some of them have become items of first necessity to many of us.
Culinary:
Coffee
Three course meal
Science:
Experimental physics
Surgical instruments
Anesthesia
Numbering system (of Hindu derivation)
Modern cryptology
Parachute
Hospitals
Optics
Games:
Chess
Cheques
Daily use items:
Toothbrush
Soap
Perfumes
Lipstick
Eyeliners
This is not a complete list of things invented by the people of East. Not all the Muslims are involved in terrorism. Their culture and people have some brilliant ideas and concepts to offer. Many of their scientists pave the way for technical progress. So, they do offer a great input into our world and we would lack many essential things if not for them.
