There never was a Muslim golden age. They conquered a number of great civilizations and enslaved the inhabitants. And it took them a while to grind down those civilizations.

As for universities, the earliest ones were in Christian countries, in the early middle ages. Which, in turn, went back to the philosophical schools of Athens and Rome.

A short summary of a long story.

Exactly. There never was one. Your post was spot on.

Big Mo and his savages raided Persia, Turkic countries, India, and Christian lands.

They looted anything they could take back to Arabia. They kidnapped and enslaved all they did not slaughter. That included the intellects, who they pressed into slavery.

That’s your “golden” age

Muzzies never invented anything, never discovered anything worthwhile but stole every last bit of knowledge they purport as theirs. Another short version.
