Indeed, I think alot of people forget that muslims ( people who happen to have been born into islam ) have been an important group, and ruled several great imperial powers. This is something that we cannot deny. But I'd say this is ''despite islam'' rather than ''because of islam''.
I dont think the religion is the things that motivates humans into these kind of things. Going to church, or even throwing battery acid in someone's face may be religiously motivated. But I dont think we can give religion credit for things such as buildings or agriculture, or whatever. Islam as a faith have brought human very little. But there have been a big number of muslims who have contributed to the growing wellbeing of this world. That these people have dissapeared due to jihadists and so on is another topic.
