It is.

2018-05-22 02:33:58 UTC  

Yep, that's pretty accurate.

2018-05-22 02:35:00 UTC  

I don't even know if Islam ever had a golden age to begin with.

2018-05-22 02:35:23 UTC  

Still you have the House of Wisdom, the preservation of the works of Aristotle and Plato, the development of most of modern math.

2018-05-22 02:35:35 UTC  

They destroyed 90% of the culture they conquered.

2018-05-22 02:35:58 UTC  

Can you imagine what would have been preserved had Islam **not** invaded and destroyed 90% of greek culture?

2018-05-22 02:36:11 UTC  

they were still also technologically more advance then the Europeans until about the European Renaissance

2018-05-22 02:36:16 UTC  

And most of modern math has definitely not been developed by Islam.

2018-05-22 02:37:00 UTC  

@DanielKO Most of our Greek literature was preserved through the House of Wisdom

2018-05-22 02:37:18 UTC  

i am not saying Islam was this great savior

2018-05-22 02:37:47 UTC  

It's funny to be labeled as "preserver" when they're the ones invading the land and destroying most of it.

2018-05-22 02:37:57 UTC  

I mean of course

2018-05-22 02:38:02 UTC  

they are a Empire

2018-05-22 02:38:06 UTC  

Empires conquer

2018-05-22 02:38:18 UTC  

"We didn't burn ALL of the books, you can thank us later."

2018-05-22 02:38:54 UTC  

That is *somewhat* true, but not entirely

2018-05-22 02:39:00 UTC  

you guys badmouthing Islam in here?

2018-05-22 02:40:12 UTC  

I just talking about how the Islamic Empire was more advance technologically then the Europeans until the the European Reissuance.

2018-05-22 02:40:23 UTC  

If anything they preserved the knowledge from those civilizations. But that's about it.

2018-05-22 02:40:33 UTC  

pretty much

2018-05-22 02:40:50 UTC  

again they were not perfect though

2018-05-22 02:40:57 UTC  

they were pretty cruel to the jews

2018-05-22 02:40:58 UTC  

```
By the way, the rest of the doctrine found from the greeks and the romans, was in the Byzantine Empire, and it finally really got into Europe... why? Well... the Muslims crushed Constantinople, and the scholars had to flee.```

2018-05-22 02:41:17 UTC  

Plus they invented Algebra, but I don't know how it compares to what other civilizations contributed to Math and Science.

2018-05-22 02:41:35 UTC  

Algebra is pretty important

2018-05-22 02:42:02 UTC  

Greeks could do far more advanced problems without algebra.

2018-05-22 02:42:09 UTC  

@DanielKO The Whole thing with the Byzantine Empire is a complicated mess.

2018-05-22 02:42:37 UTC  

Also dont down play Algebra

2018-05-22 02:42:43 UTC  

its pretty important

2018-05-22 02:43:05 UTC  

And 0.

2018-05-22 02:43:23 UTC  

```
One of the things that came out of the "Golden Age" was the philosophy "there is no cause and effect, and there are no natural laws."```

2018-05-22 02:43:35 UTC  

LOL

2018-05-22 02:43:40 UTC  

lol

2018-05-22 02:43:42 UTC  

Algebra started in Babylon and Egypt.

2018-05-22 02:44:02 UTC  

Their is also the Canon book of Medicine

2018-05-22 02:44:28 UTC  

which to be fair was a combination of what greek, muslim, and indian scholars wrote

2018-05-22 02:44:48 UTC  

Let's just say they were good at dissecting humans, I'll give them that.

2018-05-22 02:44:56 UTC  

They were really advanced with medicine fit some reason

2018-05-22 02:45:18 UTC  

they had alot of stuff from Ionian greeks they used
