Maybe THIS is why the Arabs hate us?
And Speaking of the Arabs...


What Great Contributions To Mankind
Have THEY Made Lately?
How DOES the Arab world compare? Wealthy Arab leaders spend millions of petro-dollars promoting extremist Islam in the West while many of their people lack basic amenities like food and education. Many of them secretly indulge in the same immoral vices they publicly condemn, bribe Western leaders into turning a blind eye to their despotism and deflect the frustrations of their populations away from themselves by scape-goating those "infidels," the Israelis! Some other Arabs have been either detonating themselves or talking others into it--murdering civilians young and old--and spreading hate-filled lies to incite "Jihad" against Americans, Christians and Jews. Degenerate leaders, Islamicist propaganda, anti-Semitic rantings, and a culture of revenge have truly turned the Arab World upside-down and inside-out! Their people deserve our pity more than our respect.

cliff notes....blah without the billions the u.s. send every year to them..they would be just anouther broke ass country(we'll they are not actullay a country) broke site in the m.e.

AvsTgp

Blah Blah cliff notes...read the damn contributions to science and, when you are dying and in dire need of some new technology to save your life im sure all your porn research that you do all day will help you!
Next time read something before you comment.

chodadog

You could compile a list of accomplishments similar to that, and longer, for just about any country.

And i'm sure you could right a brief and vague paragraph about any country and condem them for the actions of a few people.

And you have the nerve to bring up propaganda.

And no. I'm not anti-israel or pro-arab. I don't give a fuck what they do to eachother.

why is Israel banned among most adult sponsors?

AvsTgp

yeah you might be right but probably NOT, the idea is they are such a small country with so little amount of people and they are first or second in all those catagories FROM THE WHOLE WORLD, its like having Rhode Island with the largest economy and contributions of the Middle east, or even smaller its like having all people that live in new york from 10, st to 23rd st having more contributions than most countries in the WORLD Propaganda? hell no just amazing stuff!

I LOVE ISRAEL AND EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR!

prove it

convince Greg to unban Israel from his programs

Well they do spend a lot of their time protecting themsleves from terrorists.

The US government and private citizens give Israel $1 Billion a month. They better be the best at that price.

Yes. It's impressive. But plenty of other countries have plenty of other impressive achievements.

I'm sure someone could make a list of the achievements of an arab country, and then write some totally subjective paragraph about the US being nothing but war mongering pigs and it would have an uncanny resemblence to your post.

Facts man, facts. He put his up, where are yours? Anyone can conjecture wildly but until you back it up with something, anything, then it's meaningless.

I'd love to see the great contributions to society made by any Arab nation in the past 60 years. Besides being lucky enough to be sitting on 75% of the world's oil reserves somehow I just don't think they'll stack up quite the same way.

That's just my of course.

A small list of mathematical contributions:

Arab contributions to mathematics and the introduction of the Zero
Regional, Science, 4/22/1998

Arab contributions to human civilization are noteworthy. In arithmetic the style of writing digits from right to left is an evidence of its Arab origin. For instance, the numeral for five hundred in English should be written as 005, not as 500 according to English's left-to-right reading style.

Another invention that revolutionized mathematics was the introduction of the number zero by Muhammad Bin Ahmad in 967 AD. Zero was introduced in the West as late as the beginning of the thirteenth century. Modern society takes the invention of the zero for granted, yet the Zero is a non-trivial concept, that allowed major mathematical breakthroughs.

Arab civilizations also made a great contribution to fractions and to the principle of errors, which is employed to solve Algebra problems arithmetically.

Concerning Algebra, al-Khawarzmi is credited with the first treatise. He solved Algebra equations of the first and second degree (known as quadratic equations, and are are prevelant in science and engineering) and also introduced the geometrical method of solving these equations.

He also recognized that quadratic equations have two roots. His method was continued by Thabet Bin Qura, the translator of Ptolemy's works who developed Algebra and first realized application in geometry. By the 11th century the Arabs had founded, developed and perfected geometrical algebra and could solve equations of the third and fourth degree.

Another outstanding Arab mathematician is Abul Wafa who created and successfully developed a branch of geometry which consists of problems leading to equations in Algebra of a higher degree than the second. He made a number of valuable contributions to polyhedral theory.

Al-Karaki, of the 11th century is considered to be one of the greatest Arab mathematicians. He composed one arithmetic book and another on Algebra. In the two books, he developed an approximate method of finding square roots, a theory of indices, a theory of mathematical induction and a theory of intermediate quadratic equations.

Arabs have excelled in geometry, starting with the transition of Euclid and conic section of Apolonios and they preserved the genuine works of these two Greek masters for the modern world, by the 9th century AD. and then started making new discoveries in this domain.

In his book translated by Roger Bacon, Ibn al-Haitham wrote a book on geometrical optics, dealing with problems that would be difficult to solve even now.

It is also at the hand of the Arabs that the geometry of conic sections was developed to a great extent.

However, Arab achievements in this field were crowned by the discovery made by Abu Jafar Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Hassan, known as Nassereddine al-Tusi. Al-Tusi separated trigonometry from astronomy. This contribution recognizes and explains weakness in Euclid's theory of parallels, and thereby may thus be credited as founder of non-Euclidian geometry.

Taken from http://www.arabicnews.com/ansub/Dail...998042208.html

To say that Arabs haven't contributed anything is nothing short of ignorant.

There's no question of their contributions made to society over the last 2,000 years but I was more interested in the same period of time that Israel has been a Democracy.

there are several reasons:
- many sponsors copy their terms from other sponsors. I've seen it a lot

- many ban Israel because of it's geographic location. They ban muslim countries in asia like Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel is around so they ban it too..I'm sure they don't put much thought into this.

besides, I live in Israel and had no problems joining any sponsor. I have received payments from ARS, NastyDollars, Top Bucks and others that "ban israel"

you're forgetting one simle fact.
Arab countries in the middle east are far from being broke.
They got so much oil that they could have been the most successful countries in the world, but still, except their leaders who live like kings, the people there don't have food to eat

Israel is also the country with the most illegal WMD's They deny the existence of nukes but still have lots them secretly. US intelligence (actually everyone with half a brain) knows about it but officially the US claims that it can't be true since Israel never tested any nukes so they cant have them
.

Krome

With all that education and they still cant understand the word 'theft'.
