Was Islam even around when these Arabic advances were first made. When did Islam first come on the scene. I don't think that Arabs were always Islam, were they?

Yes, the great civilization I was talking about was 9th to 13th century CE, and most definitely Islamic.

Islam started in the 7th century CE. Before that, the Arabs were a) pagan b) mostly in Arabia, what is today Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman.
