I do not make statements, I present the facts.
1).
Fact
The Christian European civilization, is the dominant model in the world.
2)
Fact
The Chinese have discovered the compass, paper, printing, and gunpowder

All those listed above, have not contributed anything to the success of their civilization ( were barbarians when they met with Europeans)
3).
Fact
Islam has been in contact with knowledge from India, China, Greece, and had access to all world knowledge of the time.
