Alan: Europe emerged from the Dark Ages when western scholars turned to the vast body of knowledge preserved and developed during The Islamic Golden Age. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age

I conjecture that the dilapidated state of contemporary Islamic nations is due to the displacement of "open inquiry scholarship" by an epistemological shutdown wrought by a wave of Islamic scriptural literalism much like the biblical literalism that first infected Christian nations during the late 19th century.
