My understanding is that there are many people who contributed to what we know as Algebra (eg Diophantus from Greece, Indian Mathemeticians, Babylonians - ie in what is now Southern Iraq). So whilst the word Algebra comes from Arabic (the word originating from the Babylonians / Southern Iraq), there have been many influences from different parts of the world. Some recent TV programmes have tried to suggest that there is a strong link between Islamic scholars and Arabic. And clearly they are right that they have made a major contribution. However, as per above, the contribution is much wider then just Islamic Scholars and is more accurately described by referring to the variety of individuals and their countries rather than the religion that some of them associated themselves with.
