Yeah maybe in the Arabic nations, cause they were living under tyranny and didn't invest in eduction/research.
As for my country, you should be thankful that 90% of all important technologies we use in our daily life was invented there.
Hell even woman's right was invented there.
And most of these inventions were developed after this religion was implemented in the country.
In fact many of the earlier western scientists would read journals written by scholars in the middle east. Newton (who by the way was very religious and believed in ONE god) got a lot of his ideas from Alhazen.
Empires rise and fall, right now we are living at a time where the western empire is in control. 500 years from now, who knows, people in the middle east will say the same thing.
So which country is this you are talking about??
