As the demagogues of the West continue to feast on the bleeding body of Islam, by which I mean the heavy military, political and propaganda assaults going on throughout the world against various majority-Islamic countries by America, NATO and their proxies, with "Moslem" or "Islam" becoming pejorative terms in the popular idiom as any and everything Islamic is demonized, caricatured and ridiculed, Moslems often scapegoated as sub-humans just like the Jews were in earlier eras, indeed, with all this negativity being projected against a major portion of the global population, it is important to remember the great contributions made to humankind by Islam, particularly in the fields of science, mathematics and medicine.
