What are Islamic Cultural Achievements?
Some important achievements that came from Islam were medicine, the paper mill, and a unified language. The Prophet Mohammad encouraged science and medicine advances; he said "For every disease, Allah has given a cure". During the Golden Age period also, the establishment of a paper mill was made in Baghdad. Paper was first invented in China. Soon paper replaced parchment, which is skin of animals and papyrus, which is a plant made from ancient Egypt. This made advances in education for making books. The development of Arabic into a language of international scholars. Scholars could communicate with one another and ideas were translated. This could be read and discussed by scholars from all over the Islamic Astronomy was important to Muslims because of their religion. They needed to know the start of the month Ramadan, the hours of prayer and the direction of Mecca. They would observe the position of the sun and moon, so they would know the direction of Mecca. Agricultural advances are also part of the achievements of Islam. Many new plants were introduced into all parts of Islam from Africa, Europe, India and China. Muslims advanced in grafting, which is cutting off a branch from a plant and placing it onto another. Also fertilizers that are used to make fields more fertile and help to grow came from Muslims.

What was the Islamic terrorist group called?
Answer 1
Terrorists are terrorists. They have no religion. Anyhow, if one nation subjects another to oppression, exploitation, and cruelty, some people take up arms against the oppressors. They are called Freedom Fighter, not terrorists. Take the case of Ireland freedom fighters fighting against England, or study the Freedom Movement of America. You will find Christian Terrorists fighting for their Freedom. Vietnamese Freedom fighters sacrificed their lives during their freedom movement against America while American Terrorist Government bombed Veitnam and killed millions of innocent citizens. Even Bertrand Russel, a British Philosopher, termed American invasion of Vietnam Terrorism. What has NATO forces done in Iraq and Afghanistan? Isn't it Terrorism? Killing of millions of innocent citizens! Any group involved in Terrorist activities is Terrorist, be it Muslim, Christian, Jew or Hindu.
Answer 2
There are a wide variety of Muslim terrorist organizations, with numerous different names and organization styles. There is not one Muslim terrorist organization. Some of the more "famous" ones are: Al-Qaeda (International), Hezbollah (Levant), Hamas (Levant), Fatah (Levant), Al-Shabaab (Somalia), Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade (Levant), Islamic Jihad (Levant), and the Special Purpose Islamic Regiment (Caucasus).
Many have certain discernible characteristics. The most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself, usually civilians but occasionally militants. Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Muslim terrorist organizations will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam". Since Muslim terrorists exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases such as with Hezbollah, Hamas, or Fatah, they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Muslim terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas and Fatah, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.
It is important to note, however, that most Muslims believe terrorism to be against the values and teachings of Islam, especially the idea that killing an innocent person is permissible pursuant to Qur'an 5:32.
