Noted historian and scientist

Rush Limbaugh informs us that the Islamic World never gave us much of anything in the fields of science and math.

And who are your going to believe, Rush Limbaugh or your lying Arabic Numeral seeing eyes?

(only because Head--Wall or Desk would hurt too much)

But then what can one expect from a lout like him?

Well, what can you expect from a gasbag whose math skills consist of counting out Oxycontin pills?

There is also that al-jabr and al-chemy, not to mention medicine and all the rest of the sciences preserved in the Muslim world while Europe luxuriated in the theocratic Dark Ages.

Conservapedia's entry on Algebra links to an internal entry on Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Muhammad_ibn_M%C5%ABs%C4%81_al-Khw%C4%81rizm%C4%AB

Who apparently was a "[...] mathematician who made major contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and geography."

Clearly Conservapedia owe's Rush an apology.
