In Human history, as Christianity was became the official religion of
Roman Empire, all the scientific literature has been left to gather dust on
library shelves for several centuries; all the things have been connected with
the relationships between God and Humans, the truths only came from the Church,
the science was relegated into bizarre behaviour.
In continental Europe , everybody went
to the Church praying with their God, hope to get the answer about their living
conditions. Nobody came back into library, open the books and scientific
literatures learning the knowledge of the world. In spite of this period was
the golden age of Christianity, but, also was the dark age of knowledge.
Fortunately, the caliph of Muslim had picked up the responsibility to save
and protect the knowledge of the ancient Greek.
The Abbasid caliph al-Mamun, he founded two of the most important wisdom
houses; two astronomical observatory at Baghdad
and Damascus in
A D 813-833. And assembly a lot of knowledgeable person, sending them to the
Byzantine Empire to collect long-unread manuscripts, bring them back to Wisdom
Houses start to translate the original corpus of Greek to Arabic.
So, we can say that the elements of the modern civilization of western
world are come from Arab world.
In the beginning of 21 century, many things have been changed.
When the terrorism became the public enemy of the world, kindness,
justice and ethics were left to gather dust in the heart of mortal. At this moment,
the modern religions doesn’t do anything try to keep kindness in the heart of
the modern people, and let justice and ethics plays an buffered angle between
the conflict of two different religions.
Actually, the religion becomes a bomb, and the faith of the Heaven
becomes a reason of killing.
