I was reading another book written by Dr. Llaila Afrika in which he states that Avicenna was a Black Muslim and not Persian like one of the reviewers stated. [Avicenna] “and another Muslim Black named Rhazes influenced European medicine. In fact, Rhazes wrote about a hundred medical books which utilized natural foods, herbal remedies, and diets.”
I would also like to know who it was that translated The Canon of Medicine? Europeans? Wouldn’t that have been asking for potential biases?

Is a Persian / (Iranian) Moslem who lived in one of Persia town of Bukhara. Not all Muslims are Arabs. Looking at the map of Persia at that time clearly shows this fact. Avicenna was fluent in Arabic and Persian language, in fact most Persian people were, because at that time Persia was taken over by Bani Omayeh dynasty from (Arabia) and Persian were forced to learn and converse in Arabic or severely would be punished. (The right history books also have a record of this). People in Persia have his complete books and biography and they know him as Abu Ali Sinna, which westerner for difficulty of pronouncing his name exchange his name to Avicenna. It is amusing to see time and again all the 7, 8,9,10, 11, and 12 centuries Persian poets, artist, scientist, mathematicians suddenly becomes, Arab, Turkish, Indian even though their place of birth, names, written books are all in Persian language. I recently found two Rumi’s translated books that one author claimed Rumi was Turkish and the other claimed Rumi was an Indian and I have the original Rumi’s Divan of poetry and other books that is all in Persian (he was a Sufi Moslem and all his poem are having a Persian tasavof themes that has no origin in Indian nor Turkish), and no Turkish or Indian is ever able to write in the Ghaseedeh and Ghazal (a Persian style of writing poetry)

This book was written over 900 years ago by a muslim man. It was the first ever book on modern medicine. This book is the one that exposed modern medicine to the then backward western world and whole world. So well loved that it was published 35 times and taught in Europe for 600 years. This book is a excellent ever lasting proof that east ( muslims ) ongoing modern medicine. Muslim doctors were using Hollow needles to extract cataract when their western contemporaries didnt even knew it existed. Brilliant work!

Fact 1: Dr. Llaila Afrika is a black supremacist who thinks God and every significant historical figure is black; despite the fact that there weren’t any black people even remotely close to Persia near Bukhara in 980 CE when Avicenna was born.
Fact 2: The Canon of Medicine was the standard medical text in European universities for seven centuries.
Fact 3: Rhazes was born nearly a hundred years after Avicenna died. He translated Aristotle, a medical encyclopedia into Arabic. He also compiled works of Galen and incorporated parts of Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine as supplemented by his own medical contributions.
