	List of English words of Persian origin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Persian as the second important language of Islam has influenced many languages in the Muslim world, and its words have found their way beyond the Muslim world.
		Other words of Persian origin found their way into European languages— and eventually reached English at second-hand— through the Moorish-Christian cultural interface in the Iberian peninsula during the Middle Ages thus being transmitted through Arabic or, much later, through Hindi during the British Raj.
		At a deep cultural level, many Persian and English words are cognates that derive from their shared Proto-Indo-European roots.

	Muslim and Jew: Can we talk?
		Judea Pearl, a Jewish computer scientist born in Israel, and Akbar Ahmed, a Muslim Islamic scholar born in Pakistan, were brought together in Pittsburgh by hope born of tragedy.
		The hope was they might lead a public dialogue addressing the deepest unspoken fears that divide Jews from Muslims, and Muslims from the West, and make possible a little more peace, a little less war.
		The tragedy was the brutal murder of Judea Pearl's son, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, at the hands of Islamic extremists in Pakistan last year.

	towards God is our journey: The Muslim science wars: modern Muslim discourse on science
		I am yet to meet a scientist, Muslim or otherwise, who would accept such a view.
		And let's not forget that the political classes in Muslim countries -- that is the ruling classes in almost all Muslim countries -- have systematically raped the wealth of their nations and, with rare exceptions, are happy for such a state of affairs to continue.
		And it was these modernists whose real legacy to the ummah was to define the Muslim discourse on science in the 20th-century; for by and large Muslims have continued to accept modern science and her technologies on practical, pragmatic and an ad-hoc basis.

		Wahaabist Saudi Arabia has called one of their refineries the AR RAZI refinery, not in order to honor a freethinking scientist who opposed everything they stand for, but because they like to think he was a Muslim Arab.
		For example, Ar Razi was a brilliant 10th century AD Persian scientist and physician with over 250 revolutionary inventions to his name.
		The Farsi have always been pretty proud of their heritage; it wasn't easy to be an early conquest of Islam and still hold on to your cultural unity.

		Hirsi Ali holds the Muslim communities and Western governments responsible for allowing cruel practices such as genital mutilation, arranged marriages of young girls and the ‘doctrine of virginity’, to be inflicted on their female citizens.
		Hirsi Ali is a Muslim — but she is fiercely critical of the degrading way women are treated within the Muslim communities around the world.
		Hirsi Ali also implores Muslims to address what lies behind the ‘dark’ side of Islam— the fanaticism that was epitomized by 9/11 and that has spawned countless tragedies before and after.

	Islam & Science: Science, scientism, and the liberal arts
		Politically, scientism functions as an ideology of arrogance which places the scientist (correction: in the case of much of today's Muslim world, one should rather say, "the applied scientist"; even better: "the technician") upon a pedestal, thereby intimidating the common citizen who is dazzled, puzzled, and often dislocated by technology.
		In much of the developing world today, particularly among countries populated by Muslim majorities, a dreadful ideological disease has erupted, spreading as an epidemic through several generations already.
		This recognition may shatter comforting constructs of the scientism camp, but the study of language, arts, music, poetry, history, philosophy, society, religion--these are all relevant to scientific development; here I speak of a direct relevance for which we have an enormous body of evidence.

		Hunain was a very great man, but he was more of a scholar than a scientist proper and his activity, which already had begun in the middle of the previous period, ended in the middle of this one; in other words al-Razi and al-Battani were one generation ahead of him.
		Ibn Sina intertained original views on chemistry; he did not share the common belief of Muslim alchemists that the coloring or bronzing of metals affected their substance, he thought that the differences between metals were to deep to permit their transmutation.
		Ibn al-Adami and Ibn Amajur compiled astronomical tables; the latter was said to be one of the best Muslim observers; he made a number of observations between 885 and 933, being aided by his son Ali and a slave called Moflih.
