@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 science, it did not strange it outright as happened with Islam. For example the world of Ibn al-Haitham (Alhazen) were burned and forgotten, when the ulema condemned them as impious atheism. Abd as-Sallam, the grandson of Ibn Hanbal, had his home searched for books on
@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 In Europe, by contrast, Averroes was celebrated for attacking revealed religion.

All intellectual enquiry was to support the Divine Word. From the end of the eleventh century Islamic clerics turned against Greek philosophy as being incompatible with the Quran.
@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 Royal protection was essential for the careers of any scientists. When Averroes found that withdrawn, even his work as chief qadi in Cordoba left him at the mercy of the ulema.
@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 the science which emerged in the West was a universal science available to all peoples.

@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 The House of Wisdom in Baghdad was administered principally by Syrian Christians. The translation of Greek classics into Arabic was again mostly their domain. It was a Nestorian, Hunayn ibn Ishaq, who became chief physician to the caliph.
@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 The only useful knowledge was that which furthered the cause of Islam. As with Marxism later, knowledge was viewed through the lens of theology. If Islam was the reason behind the golden age of Arabic science then why did it not start under the Umayyads?
@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 Under Christianity in Western Europe, it was not stifled to this extent. discoveries of Averroes were not because of Islam. scientists and philosophers made great strides when they went against prevailing religious dictates. Unfettered intellectual inquiry was seen as dangerous.
@VarunGanap70366 @TheSaurabhLive @SagasofBharat @Rainmaker1973 Umar had ordered that his general, Amr ibn al-As destroy the library at Alexandria, as far back as 642. Therefore science progressed in this environment despite of Islam not because of it. At some stage the pioneering scholars and philosophers suffered persecution.
