I don't think undermining the contributions of the Islamic world to science and philosophy is sensible. They achieved many great things while Europe was still staggering hundreds of years after the fall of Rome.

That doesn't mean God is real, or Islam is sensible. But I think it's fair to say that there was much clear and sensible thinking going on in the world of Islam, and still is.
