The (m)uslims saved and translated the Greek texts while Europe was in the Dark Ages. Well documented. If they hadn't, we wouldn't even know who Aristotle, Plato, et al, were. It was their one-and-only contribution to civilization.
Don't forget Ibn Khaldun.

Don't forget Ibn Khaldun. Never heard of him. What I've read since you mentioned it means that I want to read more. Fascinating. Thanks.
