Discover magazine article: science and Islam: page 40:

Toby Huff a sociologist at the university of Massachutes at Dartmouth, agrues that some of the decline (in arabic science)is illusory.

"It is an exagerated claim to say that this era was laying the foundation for modern science" he says: Aside from progress in math and astronomy, what happened during the golden age was that "a whole lot of greek philosoph and sciene was translated into aribic and then passed on to the west.".

Always the Greeks!
