The Muslim mind has always been closed, and as Islam tightened its grip on conquered cultures, it stamped out all of their creativity, art and intellect. No Islamic culture has ever produced anything after the initial period of about a generation before it crushed the minds of the conquered people.
If you reject reason, which Islam does, you’re not going to be able to go very far.
The big problem with Islam is this: they don’t have someone who said “love your enemies” and then died and rose again to seal his credibility.
Actually, they had some pretty competent philosophers up until 1100 AD or so. Some imams got together and put a fatwa out on anyone caught reading or teaching philosophy, and that pretty much put the kibosh on any sort of meaningful dialogue with outsiders.
