He mentiones the contributions from the Arabic world when it comes to all kinds of sciences, which is undeniable and true, but at the same time, one cannot deny the decline in the past 700 years from the same region, and the reasons why. I wish they would go more into this, the oppression of women, the revolution.,(reply>), @Asif Khan so you expected women cycle in the prophets cira,(reply>), @SADDALA its interesting that mohamad had NO CLUE whatsoever about the womens reproductive cycle ==== although he SUPPOSEDLY was in touch with the creator of the womens reproductive cycle ===== when some companions asked him about having sex with their newly acquired female captives from war booty, they were worried the women would become pregnant, he said go ahead do it, whether a child is born or not is the will of allah ====== however that is not entirely TRUE as we know today ====== you can reduce the chances of pregnancy by a WHOPPING 95% by avoiding sex in a specific ten day period of the month based on the womens period cycle ====== it is interesting that the allah did nt tell mohamad that ======= but instead told him its the "will of allah", basically an answer steeped in ignorance,(reply>), @SADDALA you can see that in proper islam shariah law societies, women can't even walkoutside without a head covering in iran or drive a car in the middle of the day in saudi arabia. thats oppression ======= things people in most parts of the world now take for granted. nor are moslems encouraged to indulge in birth control ====== the ideal moslem women is one who has 7-8-9 children and is stuck at home for life ====== the ideal woman in the modern world would be one who has only 2-3 children and has atleast a P/T career to keep her full occupied and able to bring in some extra income to the household,(reply>), @SADDALA women is islam are oppressed today because the life possibilities for women have EXPANDED enormously due to advancements in the last 300 years,  but islam still treats women the same way as if their lifestyles were from 1,400 years ago ===== today because of BIRTH CONTROL, OFFICE WORK, MECHANISATION, HOME APPLIANCES, FOOD STORAGE things have RADICALLY changed the way women (baby makers) can live their lives ====== women across the world today can work, they can travel safely in major cities, they now have control over their fertility, things that did not exist 300 years ago ====== but islam wants them stuck at home making babies,(reply>), How does Islam opress them
