A muslim engineer made modern skyscrapers possible.

[Rematch]

he was born in bangladesh -- we would still be allowed to immigrate to the US today.

Well that kills it.

The Nasa movie with the Sassy black women was mostly made up.

Almost as fraud as Hurricane Carter movie.

 

[dittohead84]

Well he was obviously intelligent so I doubt he gave a shit about Islam

he designed the sears tower, john hancock center and

"
Considered the "father of tubular designs" for high-rises,[6] Khan was also a pioneer in computer-aided design (CAD). He was the designer of the Sears Tower (now Willis Tower), the tallest building in the world until 1998 and the 100-story John Hancock Center.

Khan, more than any other individual, ushered in a renaissance in skyscraper construction during the second half of the 20th century.[7][8] He has been called the "Einstein of structural engineering" and the "Greatest Structural Engineer of the 20th Century" for his innovative use of structural systems that remain fundamental to modern skyscraper construction.[3][9] The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat established the Fazlur R. Khan lifetime achievement medal in his honor.

Although best known for skyscrapers, Khan was also an active designer of other kinds of structures, including the Hajj airport terminal, the McMath–Pierce solar telescope, and several stadium structures.[10][11]"

thus trump tower owes its existence to a Muslim

Nazi rockets to the moon.

Yay nazis ehh buddy.

 

[PubliusVentidius]

how's his faith relevant and correlated in any way to his engineering skills?

 

[Islam Imamate]

They're also responsible for Algebra apparently.

Assholes, Algebra was a pain.

But seriously, what was the point of this thread? I'm not on the "shit on Muslims" bandwagon but how exactly is this related to politics or current affairs?

Nazi rockets to the moon.

Yay nazis ehh buddy.

What? Rockets that reached the moon came way after WWII and Von Braun was an American citizen for over a decade when we reached the moon.

Western civilization would not have happened without the eastern world.

Can't argue with the Bruce Lee philosophy. Use what works, and discard the rest. Some cultures are more likely to embrace this way of thinking than others.

Because the typical war room goer says all muslims are inherently savages and are incompatible with western society. Heres one that has built and important invention for western society. Seems to intergrate just fine.

 

[Renard]

Not sure what the point is this thread is except to use fallacious thinking to defend a violent religion stuck in the bronze age.

 

[Thunderflash500]

No, a HUMAN, built the first skyscraper.

No, a HUMAN, built the first skyscraper.

But a white guy is responsible for western civilization. Am I doing it right?

Why bronze age? Islam developed well after that age. Medieval might be more accurate, though I would say early modern instead.

Hilarious though especially since the men's upbringing was quite opposite to typical muslim religious one. Came from a family of mathematicians not imans or islamic schollors. They valued education of sciences and math not islam

Lol, I was trying to play on the "We are all one" thing. You're taking it to a dark area haha.

Khan was born and grew up in the British Raj, which probably eased his integration to Western society.

I guess the war room is rubbing off on me.

He's most likely responsible for the shit design of the twin towers too, that's why those two were targeted.

More interested in the Building 7 design.

Only so he could throw honosexuals off the roof

Vicious lol
