So what you're saying is that you can't list any positive
contributions
to
society from the Arab world in the last 100 years.

They're out the

For example,
Chemistry. (Nobel prize winner in 1999 was an Arab)


That's a bit of stretch, don't you think, Chuck? The guy had been
an
instructer at Caltech for 23 years prior to the award. He was more
"American" than Arab. Excluding Arab-Americans, Arab-Europeans,
etc.,
what
positive contributions have Arabs living in Arab nations made to
society
in
the last 100 years?



What contributions would you consider valid ones?

The light bulb, penicillin, the first computer, the internal combustion
engine and the automobile, space travel, airplanes, pre-emptive strikes,
and
supply side economics. ;-)



Hmm. No literature. Not surprising, coming from the court jester.

lit·er·a·ture (ltr--chr, -chr)
n.
1.. The body of written works of a language, period, or culture.
2.. Imaginative or creative writing
I read a lot "imaginary or creative writing" everytime I read yours or
Harry's posts here on rec.boats...or whenever I visit the NY Times or
Washington Post website.
