Quote:which was itself the product of the preservation of Greek and Roman literature...
The Islamic golden age rested on the shoulders of giants, as no doubt all civilisation does. That's what civilisation is all about, the accumulated knowledge and experience of humanity. Islamic civilisation benefited from Greek and Roman advances, as well as Babylonian, Indian and Chinese ones as well. There's nothing wrong with that, all civilisations do, none start from scratch, and your delusion that Western civilisation does is just laughable. The Western civilisation of today is heavily influenced by Islamic civilisation, this is a simple fact, that can't be denied, no matter how much you'd like to try. The scientific method, chemistry, algebra etc. were all fundamental to providing Western civilisation with the foundations it needed to get to where it is today.
As an example, we have modern firearms. Gunpowder was invented by the the Chinese about 2 millenia ago, but was not really used very effectively for military purposes.
The Islamic civilisation then took it and built all kinds of weapons, cannons, muskets etc. and pioneered the use of gunpowder for weaponry.
The Western civilisation then further refined it to make very precise and powerful weapons that we still use today. None of these 3 civilisations could've done any of this without the other. None is more 'responsible' for modern firearms than the other. It was a collective effort of humanity which brought it about.
