Muslim Luminaries You Don’t Know…But Should
As a Muslim speaker and lecturer, I constantly engage in or observe conversations that inevitably center around contributions of Muslims to societies at large. As a weird hobby I flit through various social media forums that have islamophobic leanings and invariably they are rife with criticisms of Islam and Muslims that note the absence of any scientific or influential contributions by Muslims – a claim supported by the notion that Muslims world-wide are too busy with trying to convert or kill their non-Muslim counterparts to be bothered with education or any interest in making the world a better place. It goes without saying (or does it?) that nothing could be further from the truth.
