The discussion is already too unwieldy. I will forego defending the aptness of the reference, since my use was casual. Since I know of nothing in the Arab world comparable to Newton or Copernicus or Galileo, I will have to express skepticism at your assertion that these Islamic kingdoms were in advance of Europe until about 1800. But of we except your time line, can you explain why the Muslim world "lost it" around 1800?
