Islam seems to be a backward looking religion in that its glory days are largely behind it -- several hundred years behind it. It could be that the Islamic world today is living in the equivalent of the "Dark Ages" that the Christian World" lived through from the Fall of Rome to (roughly) 1200 AD.

Islam has yet to come out of its Dark Age.

It's not clear that it ever will.

There's a lot to be said for that. This is the year 1425 in the Muslim calendar. What was Christianity like in the year 1425? It wasn't pretty.
