the Arabs were leaders in science and math....until islam and the militants came along and all efforts went into studying the koran and killing your neighbour.

Not true. Between the 9th and 13th centuries, the only people doing decent work in science, philosophy or medicine were Muslims. However, I will agree that hard-core, orthodox Islam is probably not conducive to science and math, as is true of all religions.
