A fine video by an accomplished physicist, Jim Alcalili, who was the son of an English woman and an Iraqi father. What does this history bode for the present? Can there be peace between Islam and Christianity? Can the future lead to the unity of all mankind? In the minds of Westerners, how could Moslems have reached such heights of scientific and philosophical accomplishment? So high in fact, that many Jewish thinkers and Rabbanim who lived in the Islamic Renaissance felt compelled to write responses and apologies (in the technical sense) and on the other hand were motivated to delve into the inner workings of the Hebrew Language. Andalusia saw the flowering of Hebrew Poetry, both litgurgical and secular. How was this all possible. Watch this video so that you, too, can ask these questions.
