ARAB SCIENTISTS MAKE COMPUTER BREAKTHROUGH!
That got your attention didn't it? Actually the breakthrough came, not from Arab computer scientists, if any exist, but from Israeli scientists working at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot. Surrounded on all sides by barbarians whose contribution to civilization consists of efforts to destroy it, these seekers of knowledge continue to add to the glories of our time. We will not have won the war launched against us until the savages are dragged kicking and screaming into modernity. It starts with Iraq but must move on to the entire Arab world.
Here's just one link disproving your racist rantings:

Posted by: Stephen Rittenberg on March 6, 2003 04:31 PMDon't NOBEL prizes count in your racist schema? Numerous arabs (and Muslims, presumably also villified as part of your racist ranting) are nominated every year for the world's leading scientific awards and scholarships in every western country, an immense population of technocratic Arabic scientists globally. For example, the fairly recent Nobel award to Nobel Laureate (Chemistry), Ahmed Zewail... I find the distinction you seem to want to draw between mere "technology" (what you indicate "Arabs" do) and "science" (what non-Arabs do?) disquieting and ill informed, but then I speak as a scientist and not (as you seem to wish to) as an idealogue.
