Thanks to muslims, a lot of european knowledge was saved from being lost in the dark ages. They did contribute to our knowledge in this world through advances in math and science. Then the islamic fundies got the upper hand and wiped out the falasifa (philosophers). Just another fitna in a long list.

European knowledge? Mostly Greek and Roman classics, right?

And the advances were very, very modest. Name one.

(Well, Arabic numerals, hey, name another. al-cohol? OK, there is probably a list, and I’d like to see what it amounts to)

A lot of stuff often attributed to the Arab golden age, seems to actually have come from India. I forget just what, but there were two or three different cases of it over the last year or so. I think including the concept of zero.
