He continued, “Is it political, or do you mean scientifically, when scholars like Ibn Sina, Al-Farabi, Ibn Jubayr, Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Rushd, Ibn Khaldun, and others taught the world medicine, pharmacy, engineering, astronomy, and poetry? Or do you mean in terms of dignity, when a woman cried out, and the caliph Al-Mutasim stripped the army and expelled the Jews from the state’s land, while today women are raped, and rulers rejoice? Or do you mean when Muslims established the first university in Europe in Spain? Since then, the Arab attire, the ‘abaya,’ became the graduation gown in universities worldwide, and the graduation cap is flat because the Quran used to be placed on it during graduation ceremonies. Or do you mean when Cairo was the most beautiful city in the world? Or when the Iraqi dinar was equivalent to 483 dollars? Or when the impoverished fleeing from Europe headed to Alexandria? Or when America asked Egypt to save Europe from famine? I’m waiting for you to clarify what you mean and tell me how far back you want us to go.”
