Ibn Rushd of Córdoba, detail from the fresco "School of Athens" by Raphael (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

"...Muslim philosophers and scholars... such as Ibn Rushd, Ibn Al-Haitham, Ibn Sina, Al-Farbi, Al-Razi, Al-Khwarizmi... were... outside the [Islamic] mainstream. They were and continue to be unrecognized in our culture. We even burned their books, harassed them, [and] warned against them, and we continue to look at them with suspicion and aversion... we treated them as though they were foreign elements." - Ibrahim Al-Buleihi (member of Saudi Shura Council)
