And these are the people that claim to have given the world the concept of zero and advanced math? Am I missing something here?

You start with zero GDP, bombmaking doesn't count.
You talk the infidels into giving you $2 billion.
The infidels give you $2 billion, what else can they do.
Your GDP is now $2 billion.
$2 billion isn't advanced enough for you?

simple answer -- they didn't. What you call "Islamic numerals" i.e. 1,2,3 as opposed to Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV are actually Indian numerals (wikipedia it). Advanced Maths and th concept of zero came from India as well (wikipedia Aryabhatta), while the Greeks and Persians were also math-adepts and they fell to Islamic rule.
