I am no apologist for Islam, but somehow I can look at it from their side. Imagine you genuinely believed you had been given access to the whole truth, that no further development was necessary. This “Truth” was inconsistent with the cultures around you (an advantage, from your point of view), and that clinging to that led you to great success. It would turn most people’s heads. Other sources of information would be automatically discredited and rightfully marked for destruction. It’s appalling, but it makes a sort of internal sense.
Yes I understand your argument, however the destruction of other cultural achievements is despicable and only Islam does that.
