Some more quotes from real historians and scholars:

"Europe was darkened at sunset, Cordova shone with public lamps; Europe was dirty, Cordova built a thousand baths; Europe was covered with vermin, Cordova changed its undergarments daily, Europe lay in mud, Cordova's streets were paved; Europe's palaces had smoke holes in the ceiling, Cordova's arabesques were exquisite; Europe's nobilty could not sign its name, Cordova's children went to school; Europe's monks could not read the baptismal service, Cordova's teachers created a library of Alexandrian dimensions" (Dr. Victor Robinson, "The story of Medicine").

"Many westerners, accustomed by their history books to believe that Muslims were barbarous infidels, find it difficult tp comprehend how profoundly our intellectual life has been influenced by Muslim scholars in the field of science, medicine, mathematics, geography and philosophy. Crusaders who invaded the Holy Land to fight Muslims returned to Europe with new ideas of love, poetry, chivalry, warfare and government. Our concept of what a university should be was deeply modified by Muslim scholars, who perfected the writing of history and who brought to Europe much Greek learning"

"We must not be surprised to find the Quran regarded as the fountain-head of the sciences. Every subject connected with heaven or earth, human life, commerce and various trades are occasionally touched upon, and this gave rise to the production of numerous momographs forming commentaries on parts of the holy book. In this way the Quran was responsible for great discussions, and to it was indirectly due the marvelous development of all branches of science in the Muslim world".

The above are just a few quotes from honest men, real authors and not some self made author who writes books without real sources and publishes any prejudices they want.
