I really congratulate myself that this world campaign of assesination of the Muslim religion, arrives to Latin America in a very diluted, indirect manner.

Hate brings nothing good.

And least of all, when it is an orquestated "multidimentional" propaganda, aimed to justify the unjustifiable.

Most modern Jews are descendants of Jews that lived in Europe for many centuries. They also have considerable European ancestry.

If by considerable you mean an average of 20% genetics or a peak of about 30-35% then yes! Ashkenazi/Sephardic Jews have "considerable" European ancestry...funny how y-DNA J totals to 40-45% even in these European Jewish populations.

Much of the early work on the development of algebra (al-jabr) was done by Muslims, including Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, whose name was Latinized to Algoritmi by Europeans and used to name the concept of an "algorithm".
