The islamic golden age is a myth. It never really happened. What happened was that the Arabs did what neither the Romano-Hellenic world nor the Persian world had ever managed; they conquered BOTH of them. Uniting the Romano-Hellenic knowledge found in North Africa, Spain and the Nearer East with the Persian knowledge from, well, Persia; ended up giving academics in the region unparalleled access to all the world's knowledge.
The problem was that islam, in contrast to Christianity, was not so accepting of other ideas. Any scholars who wanted to study that information were declared heretics and murdered. The suppression and destruction of knowledge was common place. The other issue was just that islam in general is a backwards ideology that fills people with the idea that 'I already know everything there is to know because a desert pedo told wrote a book', and thus EVERYTHING ELSE was to be discarded. Its pretty rare these days, but some Westerners might know an analogy in some old religious woman who never cared for history, politics, technology or really anything; because she had God and the Bible and that was enough for her. It's quite nice and quaint on an individual level, but when an entire society embraces that ideology you get mass stagnation.
In nearly EVERY SINGLE CASE the innovations and inventors of 'islam' were first generation converts from Christianity or Zoroastrianism. Being brought up a muslim seems to have entirely destroyed one's aptitude for innovation (in a similar way that modern schooling kills innovation and creates mindless drones whose jobs entail doing everything step-by-step by-the-book because they are too stupid to figure out more optimal methods or what the customer really needs; I'm sure you've all borne witness to this ineptitude when trying to something over a phonecall with government agency, when trying to get something from an employee at a supermarket [and usually the manager just instantly sorts it because they aren't quite as retarded and can see what actually needs to be done], or from interacting with a poo-in-the-loo over absolutely anything). The few invention outside of that came from Shiite muslims who spoke a language other than Arabic. Islam causes stagnation and regression.
To surmise: There was no islamic golden age, the only impressive thing was the fusion of the knowledge from the East and the West. Studying it and drawing any conclusions was stricly forbidden almost instantly because it was against allah. Almost every single innovation and invention came from first generation converts from Christianity or Zoroastrianism; islam destroys one's ability to think clearly or logicly.
Its also worth noting that the Arabs were not actually that impressive militarily, and the credit should not be given to them for that. They were fighting old men and boys because the Ancient world had just had its first 'world war'. The Roman-Sassanid war completely annihilated both sides, both in terms of military age men and funds. Rome technically won, but it did not emerge wealthy and powerful. 2 years after this the desert pedo and his horde emerged to find defenseless lands to their North, East and West; all full of wealth and civilisation, with no men around to defend them. The sandniggers did what sandniggers do best; they went forth and raped and defiled their way across the world until they reached those areas that had not been a part of either Empire; at which point they promptly got annihilated, and would have been utterly exterminated and pushed back into their desert within a hundred years or so had Turkic tribes not converted to islam to remain a thorn in the side of humanity to this very day. Turks in contrast to Arabs more far less 'pious' and more willing to actually use common sense when it came to warfare and life in general, making them significantly less backwards; but still backwards enough that they would go from the dominant cultural power on the planet to a distant second over the course of a few hundred years.
Not even. Firstly, it came from the Hindu world; which again, islams only success was conquering regions giving them access to that information. Secondly, the man who 'gave it to the rest of the world': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_Musa_al-Khwarizmi
.. was, can you guess? He was either not a muslim at all, or was a first generation convert.
egarding al-Khwārizmī's religion, Toomer writes:
Another epithet given to him by al-Ṭabarī, "al-Majūsī," would seem to indicate that he was an adherent of the old Zoroastrian religion. This would still have been possible at that time for a man of Iranian origin, but the pious preface to al-Khwārizmī's Algebra shows that he was an orthodox Muslim, so al-Ṭabarī's epithet could mean no more than that his forebears, and perhaps he in his youth, had been Zoroastrians.
Your post implies that I am wrong, yet you have not pointed out how any of the things I have said are wrong. I get that you are not white and as such you do not understand how debate works, so let me help you young sandnigger.
If you disagree with something I have said; then you state what you disagree with you. You then provide a reason for why you disagree with it. You then, if challenged, provide evidence/proof for the reason you previously presented; historical documents, photographs and other sources count as evidence. If the evidence is questionable then we take some time to analyse it and see if there would be likely bias in the author, if there are conflicting sources elsewhere; and we then try to come to a conclusion that is as close to the truth as we can get.
