No, the point I was responding to is whether or not the Arabs are primitive people today because of their experiences in the 7th, 8th, and 9th century ~ I made a correction to your position to the effect that circa 1000 AD or thereabouts, with the arrival of the Seljuk Turks, the jig was up for the Arabs, and whether or not they were civilized, or upheld the high standards of their predecessors, the Turks succeeded in locking the Arabs into a sort of cultural and legal stasis, and that was compounded by the Mongols who then destroyed their cultural and economic center in Mesopotamia, to wit, Baghdad!
The Arabs then entered into the late middle ages as a people bereft of civilization, honor, technology, morality and any other positive value you can name.
The development of the Ottoman Turkish system of governance did little to improve Arab conditions and just kind of left them to languish in their own waste until WWI came along, the Allies freed the Arabs, and oil was discovered.
We should not be surprised that they are crude.
