hot dog is an English word, but they are German.
Indian math was adopted by Arab invaders.

The Mayan people had knowledge of the zero also. It was the Arabs who introduced the zero to the west though.

My only claim was that I got the text in an email.
Found it somewhat thought provoking and posted.
Any other assumptions are on you.

Yes they invented 0
but who brought it to the west?

If the Indians invented 0, then they ultimately get the nod. You don't get credit for other peoples ideas do you? Do you think Columbus really discovered the new world too?

You're all wrong. The Mesopotamians in about 3 B.C. and Mayans in about 4 A.D. invented the zero.

Zero was invented independently by the Babylonians, Mayans and Indians (although some researchers say the Indian number system was influenced by the Babylonians). The Babylonians got their number system from the Sumerians, the first people in the world to develop a counting system. Developed 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, the Sumerian system was positional — the value of a symbol depended on its position relative to other symbols. Robert Kaplan, author of "The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero," suggests that an ancestor to the placeholder zero may have been a pair of angled wedges used to represent an empty number column. However, Charles Seife, author of "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea," disagrees that the wedges represented a placeholder.
The Sumerians’ system passed through the Akkadian Empire to the Babylonians around 300 B.C. There, scholars agree, a symbol appeared that was clearly a placeholder — a way to tell 10 from 100 or to signify that in the number 2,025, there is no number in the hundreds column. Initially, the Babylonians left an empty space in their cuneiform number system, but when that became confusing, they added a symbol — double angled wedges — to represent the empty column. However, they never developed the idea of zero as a number.

ORLY?
lebanon was predominantly christian until the 70's
albania was predominantly christian until the ottomans took control
there used to be a country called armenia until the ottomans took over
all of north africa has been conquered by the sword, and all those who decline to join moslem religious craziness are subject to enslavement
i could go on, but why bother.

Obviously your Phd was a dual: Islam and Blacks.
Yes, over a thousand year trend.
Hmmm...what shall we do?
I know Dr. Kynes...let's all kneel and prostrate. Face east of course.
Between your Islamaphobia and Doer's 'inner Jihad' thesis most of the oxygen in the room is gone.
Truth be told, your own 'government' should be terrifying you more. If you can't see that this same paranoia you espouse has been used for a corporate takeover of your state then I have no idea what to say.
Best of luck.

Something to consider. 65 years ago the state of Israel declared itself a nation. They're still thriving. You'd have us believe Islam will take over the world when they can't even eradicate the 'Zionist entity'?
Total and complete fail by any measure.
Time to find a new hobby or new whipping boy. Maybe time to add bachelor to the cv?

Maybe both christianity and islam are the bully for the same team. Sometimes teammates fight over who makes the best catcher, while others argue who makes the best pitcher. While others go for tennis. And some people like my grandfather can get so desperate, they'll watch a women's basketball replay if no other game is on.

they tried to destroy israel 3 times, and got their asses kicked 3 times.
incompetence at war does not mean they are peaceful.
