    Just written language, math, and the basic foundation of scientific advancement. Without those things, the brain worm might have prevented us from having to deal with him.

      All right, but aside from written language, math and basic foundation of scientific advancement, what have the Arabs ever done for us?!

              I want to make a joke about you making me moist, but instead I’ll just make a reference to making that joke as I think it’s less painful. lol. I get to make the joke AND have it not be quite as awkward. :)

          Actually I believe the first recorded, archeological proof of an aqueduct goes back to Assyria, and then at some point the Romans copied the design and put them everywhere, all of this being LONG before Islam was even a thing. History is full of similar instances where the person/entity who famously used X was NOT the inventor, and instead stole it from someone else first

            Arabs were also a thing before Islam.

              Very true, but I don’t believe they used aqueducts. Or at least, they didn’t invent the idea, which is what I was pointing out

          Which, coincidentally, is originally Indian just like ‘Arabic numerals’.
