As far as I can see, there is no form of Islam other than Medieval Islam.

Medieval Islam was in many ways civilized and much freer than most Arab-world countries today, Israel excepted. In the medieval days, there actually was an Arab intellectual class that didn't find itself killed. Arab societies have taken several steps backward since their medieval splendor.
