Islam has always sucked, some of it's followers were alright but that's about it.

They used to have more technological advances than Europe

Mongol invasion ruined muslim countries.

pretty sure all the scientific ones were actually atheists. They chased those fuckers right outta dodge.

What went wrong??
Muhammad talked to Satan and mad islam.

The men in the top picture are studying how they can accurately predict the direction of Mecca so they can pray in the right direction. Just because they're doing smart things doesn't mean they're doing them for enlightenment reasons.

Islam was already around

iraq got set back 2000 years by hulagu's invasion and sacking of baghdad

middle east in general has suffered from post-ottoman western (sykes-picot, CIA) meddling, and islam was hijacked by wahabbis in the 70's

1. Mongols invaded in 1200's and depopulated the economic centre of the Islamic World (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan) by 70-90%. Major cities all put to the sword.

2. Tamerlane, trying to emulate his horde on the Mongols, invaded again in the 1400's and depopulated the same regions by 70-90% again.

3. The Silk Road was the economic bread basket of the Middle East - including for the Ottoman Empire, which was the economic powerhouse of the world. These trade routes were incredible sources of tax revenues for Islamic Empires and made them vastly wealthier than anything in Europe. The Silk Road went into terminal decline when Western Europeans discovered direct sea routes to the East and thus circumventing the Silk Road altogether. The Safavid Empire (Persia) collapsed and the Ottomans became the 'sick man of Europe'.

4. Ancestors of the current Afghan Pashtuns invaded these regions again in the 1600's as the Safavids collapsed. Not so genocidal but large cities were emptied as refugees and displaced.

5. The Ottomans were too late to the colonialism game and went into economic decline for a few hundred years. Persia also went into economic ruins for a few hundred years and only returned to their pre 1200's population in the mid 20th century.

No, they were clearly devout muslim. the Islamic World almost went through an age of secularisation as Islamic writers were touching on the subjects just before the Mongols invaded in the 13th century

after copying the romans and greeks for several hundred years they got good at it but then quickly reverted back to goat fucking mohammedans when the mongols invaded

WE WUZ MATH AN' SHIT

The Mongols set them back hundreds of years when they invaded and destroyed their cultural and scientific centre along with the population of Babylon/Baghdad.

OH MY GOD THAT FLAGARINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>now
The only good muslim was Saladin.

yes. The ethnicity of uzbekistan largely changed. This area was particularly brutal

They have been marrying cousins for 1500 years. They get dumber each generation.

There were a lot of muslim leaders like Saladin during his time. Saladin is only famous in the West because he fought westerners specifically

Thanks Mongol

>American education

If this meme was true then the middle east would see the same hereditary issues that other inbred populations have. Ashkenazim Jews, European Royals, etc.

WE WUZ SCIENTIST N SHIET AA'ILA

They do

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/122670.stm

That article is about a criminal gang tricking parents to handing over their healthy babies where the gang deforms their children to be used in begging.

Try again. We are discussing hereditary diseases from generations of inbreeding

The children are being deliberately deformed to look like the genetically deformed rat kids of the afghan mountains

There's plenty on the subject if you've mastered the incredibly advanced method of research known as "google it nigger"

Pretty funny how muslims cause nearly as much harm being do-gooders as by being terrorists

The Achmenids, Summerians, Akkadians, Elamites, Hittites, Assyrians, Phonesians and all the other civilizations of the near east people (which genetically include the Egyptians) which spread the idea of civilization to the west (who were basic tribal farmers, who had also learned farming from the middle east anyways) in the first place would disagree with that statement my leaf friend.

Other than the whole, '1000 years ago they salted the oasis', shit OP - it really comes down to the USSR invasion of Afghanistan. It was all downhill from there.

How? No Islam before Muhammad...that makes no sense...

its called "Ash'ari" vs "Mu'tazila" schools of thoughts. In the golden ages of Islam Mu'tazila school of thought that originated in Iraq was widespread, in which said that quran was not uncreated and that rational thought and reason was necessary to determine what is just and right. And then came the "Ash'ari" school of thought in which believed quran was uncreated eternal and all knowledge must come from the quran. The Ash'ari school eventually replace the Mu'tazila and everything went to shit. It was pretty much like a reverse renaissance

We (The United States) infected them with communist revolutionary rhetoric. It started with Nasser and the Baathist parties; ISIS is the logical conclusion of that process.
