Californians 'Dazzled' By Islamic Inventiveness

That's the claim of this onislam report, anyway:

CAIRO – Discovering a neglected part in the history of mankind, California students visiting “1001 Inventions” exhibition for Islam’s early contributions to science were introduced to the historically missed golden age of Muslim civilization that paved the world to the modern age of renaissance.

"It communicates the multicultural roots of science, and we have a diverse audience," Diane Perlov, the center's vice president of exhibit development, told Venture County Star on Friday, August 12.

"This shows that more than Europeans and Americans invented scientific breakthroughs, and it inspires young people toward these fields."

The “1001 Inventions” exhibition highlights contributions by Muslim scholars to the development of astronomy, math, architecture, medicine and engineering.

It features exhibits spanning Muslim thinkers in different fields of medicine, optics, mathematics, astronomy, higher education, library science, personal hygiene and even the basics of aviation.

It also shows the works of some of history’s finest scientists and scholars who once extended from Spain to China and lightened the world from the seventh century...

Only one thing to do when one reads such puffery--cue the JJ.
