It's unsurprising to find parallels between greek and "muslim" (probably ought to use a better word here to express what we mean?) philosophy. The expanding state incorporated a great deal of -everything-...and those incorporated people did the brunt of the work in that incorporation. In this case, assyrians, particularly, commenced a massive translation of greek works. These are the translations which were brought, by the moors, to spain (who then translated them into latin)...which was in part responsible for the european renaissance.
