Not at all bad! A great summary of the rise and fall of Islamic science. How the Muslim mind closed.
See also "The closing of the Muslim mind", by Robert Reilly.
The rise of the west and western science, at the same time that so-called Islamic golden age of science declined, has driven modern Muslims mad. They are always looking to brag about having invented this or that.... The number "zero" for example, or algebra, or medicine itself. Most of these are bogus, but still they pursue this myth of the Islamic golden age. With some success: museums in the west will from time to time have exhibitions showing the "brilliance" of Islamic science. Barack Obama included some "Islamic inventions" in his 4th June 2009 Cairo speech, including obviously incorrect ones such as the compass. (which everyone knows is from China, surely!).
Note at the end of this video: that YouTube has demonetized the channel because it's "too sensitive". That's patently crazy. The video is scholarly and ought to be allowed to discuss Islamic science, for goodness sake!
