Muslims invented Maths and other things even despite Islam. That would have been around 1200-1400 I believe, it's known as the Islamic Golden age. The Muslim world actually was the cutting edge. Then religious fanaticism increased during/ after the crusades. Give credit where it is due though, Muslims played a giant role in reviving the Western world from an academic standpoint.

Give credit where credit is due? It's easy to have a "golden age" when from the beginning (of Islam) you're warring with everyone around you (in this case classical Roman civilization which was already established in the middle east/north Africa before Mohammad began pillaging, raping, and enslaving), stealing all their valuables, and enslaving their talented people which you then concentrate in one city (e.g., Baghdad). There's nothing "golden" about taking from others to give to yourself. When you concentrate all talented (intellectual) slaves in one place, by force, you can call it a golden age all you want but it's the result of the constant wars.

See this 5min video and this article for a some valuable facts regarding this Islamic "golden age".

You do realize that this is how most civilizations have "golden ages"? They build off of other, sometimes smarter cultures. The Romans did it to the Greeks. They also learned from the Egyptians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and even the Guals/Britains/ other barbarians. Classical Rome collapsed before 626AD, it collapsed in the mid 400s. Sure, the Byzantines were there, but the relationship between Byzantines and Muslims was pretty two way. I did acknowledge that Islam had been at war pretty much since it's inception. What you are overlooking is the extent to which Islam, and specifically the Crusades, impacted the Western world. The Muslims had libraries containing works by the Romans, which were not extant in Europe. These texts helped fuel the rebirth of non-feudal culture in the West. Advanced mathematics came out of the Middle East, allowing for better and more ambitious architecture and mechanical design in the West. Arabic numbers came about. Spices and other goods traded through the Middle East and brought home by crusaders created a market which ultimately led to the rise of the middle class. It's not fair to say all the change Islam brought was bad. Islam even brought good changes to the Middle East. Women were allowed to own property. Infanticide was outlawed. Marriages of love were encouraged. Women were initially discouraged from wearing the burqa. A solid legal system was established. Language became an important tool, with Arabic as the lingua Franca.
