    Modern science (not like Muslim astrology, Koranology, alchemical search to turn lead into gold (easy to see why sultan's supported that one)) is western science. Again, worldwide, people (including Muslims) study western science and not some non-existent Muslim science.

    It is only the first occurrence that appears as "Ibn Umar al-Khattab". What, if any, significance this has I know not. Frankly, it's a rather lengthy article, and I'm just not that interested in the finer points of Koranology.
