I am afraid most discoveries and inventions attributed to Arab and Muslims were mainly from whatever Arab conquered. The zero for instance was not born in the Arab mind, but in India, the medical discoveries mainly were the result of Greek readings, architecture were the result of Muslim conquests
Arabs were great in warfare, most of their great figures are convert from conquered places.
Arabs and Muslim, no more now than before every valued education, they always thought that it should be only handled by a few.
Chess was a gift from India to Persia.
BTW, we know all that and have known that all along, but thanks for saying it again for the umpteenth time.
