The Arabs of 1000 years ago had fine libraries, bought and sold books on the streets of Cordoba, valued poetry, learning, and as you say invented algebra. At that time the Christian world was WAY behind intellectually. But the Christians continued to grow and most shed their intolerant ways. The Arab world failed to do that.

What, do you suppose, made the difference?
