Well, for one thing, Greeks are Europeans.
It involves no shame for modern Europeans to recognize that Medieval civilization was built on a synthesis of Greek/Roman and Hebraic/Christian elements. In the same way, the Golden Age of Islam was built on a synthesis of Greek and Persian elements.
If you think the debt that European civilization owes to the Greeks is PC, your education has been sadly neglected. PC people have actually been attempting to downplay this historical debt for decades, Greeks being much too pale-skinned for their tastes. Read The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant, published pre-PC in 11 volumes from the 30s to the 50s if you are actually interested in learning some facts about the roots of our civilization.
They also have a lot about the great accomplishments of Islamic civilization during its (unfortunately long-past) heyday.
Or possibly you're more interested in denying the facts of history if they conflict with your agenda.
