On that logic munch, do we discount any achievement in the West made by a company which has Muslims in their work force?
no i suppose not. and certainly not if it employs a majority of musilms.

In terms of population, what are the top five musilm countries in the word do you think?
Indonesia - I believe, then Pakistan and Bangladesh. Egypt and Nigeria next?
India and England might have millions of Muslims living in them, but I would class them as Muslim countries. I meant where Muslims form the majority.

At the Renaissance, the west came bounding back.
