What invalids Islam is that there are no intellectuals from any of the Muslim countries today to speak of. For example, Israel has Yuval Harari whom you can see holding numerous lectures like in Google talks, 60 minutes, and numerous universities, but none of the Muslim countries has one person who has something useful or smart to say, and it's because intellectuals are oppressed and feared by religious authorities.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If by "something useful or smart to say" you mean blasphemy and insulting religions for 60 minutes, then yes, you're probably right, and the problem would be your ridiculously narrow definition of what the word "intellectual" means. If not, I am sure anyone who set foot in a Muslim country can readily find really smart people to listen to in universities, schools and elsewhere. I hope your hubris won't ultimately lead you to believe that you, or Yuval Harari, or the like, are smarter than all Muslims.

Hello
I am Iranian. In Iran, if someone is agnostic or atheist, he declares that he is a Muslim.like In the Soviet Union, everyone declared that he was a communist and not christian! So if I, an Iranian agnostic, invent or discover something or win a sports prize, the Iranian government and other Muslims will advertise that a Muslim has won a prize under the teachings of Islam.
In Islam, human sciences and philosophy are strongly opposed because modern human sciences have indirectly invalidated the rules and beliefs of Islam. So some friends should not say that Islam is not against science.
Regarding Omar Khayyam, I must say that in addition to being a mathematician, he was also a poet and had declared the religion of Islam to be invalid and he was a type of agnostic. In the past, Islamic clerics destroyed his grave and now they are promoting that he was a Muslim scientist.
But I must say that Maryam Mirzakhani was oppressed by Muslims based on the teachings of Islam.
Islam says that faithet women must wear a hijab, and a woman who does not wear a hijab is a Muslim but has not faith.
But the Islamic government of Iran advertises that a woman without hijab is a bad woman.
Maryam married a non-Muslim man, and according to the teachings and laws of Islam, a Muslim woman who marries a non-Muslim man must (killed) be executed. (There are different jurisprudential opinions, some Muslim clerics decreed that her husband should be killed, and some considered forced divorce and the selection of a new husband by the clerics to be sufficient.)
I think Maryam was an agnostic or an atheist because the intelligence she had.

The above are the laws of Islam for husbands and wives.
These laws were not implemented in Maryam's case and the government did not bother her. But in an Islamic country whose government is also Islamic, such respectable women may be angered by a plaintiff or a mad judge at any moment.
