The arab world is perfectly capable of practicing science. However in countries where your future is bleak, you either immigrate or work barely able to get by.

One only needs to read recent history of any random country picked at random. And you will see a multitude of incidents of “oh yeah that will fuck them over”.

Here’s one where im from, a famine https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_of_Mount_Lebano... induced by both Ottomans and the allies. Where 50% of mount lebanon the population died of starvation (christians and druze).

The list is literally endless. What drives me crazy is that the average american thinks arabs/muslims hate the west because of “their way of life”. My jaw dropped the first time I heard someone say that.

One small thing that can help is if the west can stop propping up dictators and genocidal countries. That would really help

This is all true (or certainly could be). But what does it have to do with a process that, in TFA, occured before the 14th century?

I know but I saw some comments on here painting arabs with a brush as if we don’t believe in medicine/doctors etc.

Im ashamed to say but im annoyed and tired of it (especially lately)
