Thanks for that list. I'm not really surprised.

I notice that quite a few references are to "Spanish Islam", but the inventors were perhaps more Spanish than Islamic.

But so what if there were 1000 year old inventions? I'm not much interested in some ancient history in regard to pretty simple discoveries.

What matters is what's going on nowadays. In the 20th century and 21st century, there's nothing much but carnage coming out of the Moslem world. They have been resting on 1000 year old laurels.

The %age of jihadis is quite high at about 10%. Which is about the same number of cranks in any religion [or any group]. 10% is scraping the bottom of any barrel.
