Need help with my writing homework on House of Wisdom. Write a 1000 word paper answering; It is&nbsp.impossible&nbsp.to&nbsp.envision&nbsp.Western civilization without fruits of Arab science. Al- khwarizmi’s art of Algebra, the well researched and explained medical teachings and&nbsp.philosophy&nbsp.of Avicenna, the new geography and cartography introduced by al-idrisi or the&nbsp.thorough&nbsp.rationalism of Averroes (Jonathan, 2009). It is&nbsp.evident&nbsp.how uneducated the westerners were. Their leader was an&nbsp.implacable&nbsp.cleric who had appeared from nowhere to massive&nbsp.popular&nbsp.acclaim. he exhorted his charges to holy war against the infidels with promises of a home in paradise. Diseases and malnutrition were&nbsp.rife. Medical care often involved exorcism or the amputation of the injured limb. Torture and other ordeals settled criminal cases. Few had any&nbsp.learning&nbsp.at all.&nbsp.The little&nbsp.education&nbsp.that they had consisted of memorizing out dated texts under the watchful eyes of&nbsp.hidebound&nbsp.doctors of religion.&nbsp.They did not understand basic technology, science or mathematics. They could not&nbsp.date&nbsp.their most significant holy days nor could they&nbsp.chart&nbsp.the&nbsp.regular&nbsp.movement of the sun, moon and planets. Natural phenomena such as&nbsp.eclipse&nbsp.of the moon or a sudden change in&nbsp.weather&nbsp.terrified them. they thought it was black magic. Pope Uban II appealed to the princes in the French town of Clermont to end their&nbsp.ceaseless&nbsp.warring to&nbsp.turn&nbsp.their murderous energies on the unbelievers of the East. The&nbsp.fighting&nbsp.and denouncing of the Muslims by the European Christians and the Westerners began to&nbsp.obscure&nbsp.any&nbsp.recognition&nbsp.of the Muslim way of life and their contribution to science. This message consisted of four themes, some of which still resonate today. One was that Islam distorts the word of God, and the other was that Islam&nbsp.was&nbsp.solely&nbsp.spread&nbsp.by&nbsp.violence. The third one was that Islam promoted pervertedsexuality&nbsp.of humans by encouraging the&nbsp.practice&nbsp.of polygamy, for example, the way the sultans behaved in their Kingdoms, and through their excessively&nbsp.modest&nbsp.way&nbsp.they carried themselves out. Finally, they also believed that the Antichrist was a muslim(Jonathan, 2009). These were just prejudices because some of the European philosophers, who had earlier denounced the Muslim way of life, later appreciated and acknowledged their contribution to&nbsp.education&nbsp.(Jonathan, 2009). As most Westerners denounced the Muslims, an Englishman named Aderlard of Bath one of the early pioneers of the Arab teachings who brought about the wonder of astronomy geometry astrology and other fields to the medieval West, looked at the Muslims differently, he left his home in search for education. In addition, he believed that the Muslims had the best education. He had no interest in the debaucheries of his fellow Europeans. Unlike the holy warriors unleashed by Pope Uban II, he had the&nbsp.determination&nbsp.to learn from the Muslims rather than killing them under the sign of the cross. While the crusaders saw only evil in the Muslim infidel, Aderlard sought the&nbsp.
