>>11030589>but Islam rediscovered and expanded upon Greek knowledgeExactly and expanded it very much, they moved Physics form being theorical philosophy to applied science, and improved mathematics by far the most, most surgical tools we still use now are creation of them and we still name many stars by their Arabic name and what boosted the renaissance was the Spanish when they translated their books, the Greek knowledge was just historical philosophy compared to what we gained from Islamic golden age
And some /pol/ retards compare Islam of that age to the current one, at that time they had more democracy than these times, and people were much more liberal
You can read the book "Kingdom of the Arabs" for more information about Islam of that time
