IMO, the country that managed to conquer the world (or close to it) should go to the Brirish Empire. They managed to conquer 1/4 of the globe and set their mark on every continent there is.

Almaleki,ah the Clay Land and the PLains and the Sunset ,,, well come to West Egypt and to Sudan and every Country on the Nile they All have Black Clay !!! and plains !!!
Almaleki, please, you've been told again and again that this is not a religious forum. Nobody here cares the least bit what the Quran says in this matter, you want me to write about what the bible says? So stop it!No it is the Thread telling about that and i told the Whole Idea Quran Speaked of ...
It must be hard for someone who believes something very deeply to get it through his head that usually those who don't share that conviction don't give a slightest whiff of sh..t about it. Kind of like explaining to an average American the greatness and super talents of, say, Ronaldinho... If only men could find more shared beliefs, interests and opinions than maybe there wouldn't be any "world conquering"...Almaleki, please, you've been told again and again that this is not a religious forum.

Jaber bin Haean ... the King Of Chemics /// He wrote almost every Basic Chemical Theories and tried them more than he put most of the chemical Instruments ..I'm sorry you are having a laugh , please expand on how Muslim Science influenced the following:
Industrialized mass production of materials and introduction of automation in factories in England leading to meteoric increases in production an wealth
The railway and steam engine, enabling manufacturing to move from cottage based industries to mass production on a grand scale
The combustion engine, gas turbine engine, jet engine, so on and so forth.
I can't find a single reference by the engineering greats of the time (James Watt, Richard Trevithick, Richard Arkwright's et al) that thier world changing inventions relied on Muslim theories. And if Muslim Science was so sophisticated why didn't the industrial revolution begin in the East?
The only way anybody could ever even dream of "conquering the world" is if there is a universal acceptance to move into the next stage of humanity. Meaning the world unites under one name - Earth. Whether it would be a collection of rulers, a global dictator, or something else, no one really knows. It might not be just one man/woman. I believe this is the only way anyone could ever conquer the world. I wouldn't even really call it conquering the world. To conquer, is to assimilate the enemy against their will. To unite would mean the people of Earth would agree unanimously that it is in humanities best interest to combine our efforts to progress into the future unhindered by divisions among land, people, and various ruler's individual interests.
The Muslim efforts in chemistry are not significantly more important than what has been done before, for example in Egypt or in ancient Greece. I am not sure what exactly you mean by "basic chemical theories", but modern chemistry is almost entirely based on the achievements of the late 17th and the 18th century, not incidentally just before the time industrialisation started to take off big time.He wrote almost every Basic Chemical Theories and tried them more than he put most of the chemical Instruments ..
While it is undisputed that Arab scientists made some fundamental contributions to various sciences (including chemistry, as well as basically developing modern algebra), all these contributions were made many centuries ago, in the middle ages, before Quran became an all encompassing substitute for science (and pretty much everything else and any kind of a book)...The Muslim efforts in chemistry are not significantly more important than what has been done before, for example in Egypt or in ancient Greece.

If any significant scientists are to be named, who contributed greatly to Chemistry as a science and not just some kind of alchemy, it would be (to name the most recognized) Robert Boyle, Karl Scheele, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and Dmitri Mendeleyev.
The point why I am going into detail here is that all of those were Europeans, and they were just one part of the scientific enterprise that made possible industrial progress and in extension the utter colonial dominance of the world by European powers in the 19th and early 20th century, most significantly of course Great Britain, while the Ottoman Empire as the most significant muslim power was essentially just an object of the same Great Power-politics.
I apologize, it was a Persian, not Arabic scientist who developed algebra - al-Khwārizmī...While it is undisputed that Arab scientists made some fundamental contributions to various sciences (including chemistry, as well as basically developing modern algebra), all these contributions were made many centuries ago, in the middle ages, before Quran became an all encompassing substitute for science (and pretty much everything else and any kind of a book)...
I share your criticism. Apart from that, interesting read. It is obvious however that the author has a certain opinion about American policy that is not everyone's.Its a rather compelling read for the first few paragraphs, but the author lost me on his evaluations of individual countries. His observations are not in line with reality on several points (the military aspect of China, the economical aspect of Europe, the social aspect of Japan) and he seeks to build up his case based upon these issues. I think, he really just tried to create and played around with a weird scenario that would gain attention and he neglects a pragmatic attitude in order to support this.
