>What irritates me greatly is when historians refer to the Muslim scientists of the Islamic Golden Age as "Arabs"
To me it's strange to ascribe such areas of study to the religion. What does Islam really have to do with optics besides Ibn Al-Haytham being a Muslim? No one ever ascribes enlightenment science as 'Christian science'.
