Of Arabic numerals?

no

fuck zero too

just because you don't agree with an ideology does not mean that some of its followers contributed to advancements of mankind

Of Algebra and solving for the elusive x

lolol "fuck zero too"

Of Betelgeuse and Aldebaran

im pretty sure someone already made the comparison to nazis

I'm aware of the Algebra thing, do you guys think that isn't common knowledge?

I don't think its woke to say that Islam in the past made advancements in mathematics.

yes, who cares

that's great

..?

her point was

we owe things to islam

thanks for the Algebra Islam

which clearly we do.

so how was her original statement false?

now if you could kindly get your fucking heads out of the 1500's we'd all appreciate it

If you acknowledge Muslims in the past contributed greatly to our society today, then you provide reason to believe that Muslims today can contribute greatly to society as well

And my experience is that such people exist

And America is greater for them

I don't think you're listening to my points

anecdotal evidence is irrelevant

your points are against the religion itself

You're points are only covering Islam as an overarching entity and not down to the individual, which is what Yuri is talking about.

which none of us are advocating for

my point is, that is how Muslims behave when they are the majority

and you aren't acknowledging her points

or well, weren't

There's definitely more nuance there.

yes, anecdotally individual Muslims have contributed to society, big fucking deal

when Muslims are the majority, they make treat women as second class citizens, kill gays, etc. etc

you guys think if we just let them come and just be nice everything will be cool

JUST BE NICE

lol.

the issue is with the leadership there

i kinda agree tbh

if muslims are a majority there is 70% chance that there would radical islamic revolt

This is what I joined the conversation to counter: "I don't know why I'd want to go to every single Muslim and see if they commit a crime or not when it'd just be easier to remove all of them and it'd cause like no harm to the country"

The culture also plays a factor to be fair, which is why people coming to the US should assimilate at least to an extent.
