	History of medicine - Questionz.net , answers to all your questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Medicine is currently defined as the science of disease prevention, diagnosis, alleviation and cure.
		Medicine was aided in the 18th century and beyond by advances in chemistry and laboratory techniques and equipment, old ideas of infectious disease epidemiology were replaced with bacteriology (Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur), and for the first time actual cures were developed for certain endemic infectious diseases.
		The harsh scientific nature of modern medicine is the pinnacle of a very narrow concern, a particular aspect of the human condition has been exulted at the cost of considerable social disquiet, as evinced by anti-vivisectionism, eugenics, 18th and 19th century concerns about body-snatching and attacks at doctors for 'playing god' in the 20th century.

		Isnad was influential in the development of disciplined scientific citation as early Muslim philosophy developed and applied Muslim disciplines like isnad and ijtihad and ijma to the natural world.
		Some claim this resulted in the breakthroughs in early Muslim medicine and the Mutazilite school of scientists.
		However, the capacity to cite prior authority so reliably was probably also influential in the rise of the Asharite school, which led to the classical fiqh and taqlid "blind imitation" of prior jurists, and ultimately limited Muslim sciences.

		We need to establish a framework for Muslim identity development in Britain to serve as a basis for creating and shaping well-adjusted, well-rounded individual Muslims who have a firm grip on reality and a heightened sense of responsibility to both the Muslim community and to society at large.

	Muslim Legacy in Early Americas - W. Africans, Moors and Amerindians

		Although German art historian and collector Alexander Von Wuthenau argues that the ancient and early Americas were filled with an international melange of peoples from Africa, Asia and Europe, his artifactual evidence reveals that Islamic peoples were clearly a prominent group within it.
		The famed Ibn Battuta spoke of the Marabouts in his renowned "Travels." The antiquity of such a "Moorish" (African) presence in the Americas is hereby seen to be quite early when one considers the significance of all the evidence presented here-to-for.
