The Arabs were the masters and educators of the Latin West (...), and not only and just as it is said
Too often, intermediaries between the Greek world and the Latin world (...).

You are too blinded by your lust for dark dick to notice that Arabs are and always have been useless savages.
Jacob Stewart
But what about the Islamic Golden Age? Doesn't that prove that it is not wholly bad?
Austin Edwards
What happened to the European people between the fall of the Roman Empire and the enlightenment?
Jackson Johnson
what a surprise that islam had a golden age when it invaded the mediterranean and acquired ancient greek texts
nothing good comes of islam outside of what european culture or knowledge it acquires and mirrors
Kevin Walker
Not true
Adam Lopez
Arabs did nothing but steal, pillage and enslave
Henry Myers
Literally true.

The arabs were mud hut dwelling savages. You're thinking of something else probably, Iranians? Same shit nowadays, but there's no denying that the desert people weren't completely retarded long ago.

>Muh Dark Ages meme implying Europe was total shit the whole time
lol no. Look at, for example, Alfred the Great or Charlemagne.
Owen Miller
well they still enhanced the knowledge taken from the mediterranean
Parker Allen
Islam saved all the books and scrolls of knowledge that the Christians were burning. That's literally all they did, besides the numbers we use today.
The west had forgotten that they used to do brain surgeries and made things like ball bearings because of Christianity.

Then there's the whole part about how user said "the Enlightenment" when he should clearly have said "the Renaissance" instead. If you decide to ignore all of the Renaissance figures (from philosophers like Erasmus and Pico della Mirandola to artists like.. well I'm sure you know) you're being intellectually dishonest and if you don't then 1350 is your end date for your supposed """Dark Ages"""
tl;dr WRONG

US protection of Saudi Arabia enabled their uncontested spread of wahabbism and salafism from 1970's, slowly erroding every secular arab achievement. Socialist pan arabism was an excellent tool for pacyfing entire region.

Pic related happened.

>Golden Age
Arabs were overrated back then?
Rarely do historical feats much up with reality prior to 1900.
Adrian Butler
The "Golden Age" was the widespread conquest, murder, rape and theft of cultural achievements. Nothing to be proud of.
Justin Sanders
golden age meants conquest, invasion, genocide and stealing/destroying every bit of christian scrpture and structure they could find.
The golden age means nothing but death and despair.

That's two more than Pakistan has ever produced.

Cultural appropriation at the expense of Greeks, Syriacs and Persians.
