Wtf are you talking about? Read the article. Islam isn't backwards and there is something in the world beyond reason and logic. Many devout Muslims in the US are themselves doctors.
If you read the article you'd see that political decline of a united empire is one of the largest factors leading to loss of scientific output. Scientific output is expensive, requires stability, etc.
There are people of all stripes and beliefs who think "healing" is something non-scientific. It has nothing to do with religion. Look at the resurgence of crystals, herbal healing, other forms of crockery in the US itself!

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoThat's all fine. But the article isn't about the current state of any part of the Arabic world. It's a guess at the historical process by which science became less significant in the Arab world, something that happened centuries before you were born. You may well have grown up with the implications of that, but that's not what TFA was about.
- speedylight 3y agoOk I see what you mean and maybe I should’ve paid a bit more attention to the specifics, but I still stand by my original comment.

- speedylight 3y agoAdmittedly it’s a topic I shouldn’t have really touched on and me deleting the comment doesn’t mean I don’t stand by it I just regret expressing the opinion publicly. I’m sure the original comments are already archived somewhere since this made front page, anyone should be able to find them if they really want to.
