 | | Srdja Trifkovic's speech, The Myth of an Islamic Golden Age. | | | Some commentators have detracted from the importance of the Golden Age going as far as to call it a myth, intended to distract attention from modern Islam. | | | Eventually, most of the Mongol peoples that settled in western Asia converted to Islam and in many instances became assimilated into various Muslim Turkic peoples. |

| | Glen Chancy -- Examining the "Golden Age of Islamic Civilization" |
| | For the first centuries of the Islamic Empire, themajority of the population was comprised of highly skilled Christians ruled bya minority of Arab Muslims. | | | "[The] so-called'radical Islam or 'Islamic fundamentalism' of the new political type is in facta bastard modernization of authentic Islam, corrupting Islam by the worst ofall modern impulses. | | | Consequently, their accomplishments have beenerroneously credited to Islamic civilization ignoring the fact that theyreceived their training as Christians or Jews. |

| | The "Golden Age": harmony? |
| | While Jewish communities in Arab and Islamic countries fared better overall than those in Christian lands in Europe, Jews were no strangers to persecution and humiliation among the Arabs and Muslim. | | | * In fact, the years between 900 and 1200 in Spain and North Africa are known as the Hebrew "golden age," a sort of Jewish Renaissance that arose from the fusion of the Arab and Jewish intellectual worlds. | | | Jews had their own legal system and social services, were forbidden to build new synagogues, and were supposed to wear identifying clothing. |

| | Islamic History |
| | In their sweep through the Islamic world the Mongols killed or deported numerous scholars and scientists and destroyed libraries with their irreplaceable works. | | | The Mongol invasions, in fact, were a major cause of the subsequent decline that set in throughout the heartland of the Arab East. | | | As the Arab chronicles put it, Harun al-Rashid ruled when the world was young, a felicitous description of what in later times has come to be called the Golden Age of Islam. |

| | The Not-so-golden Age of Islamic Philosophy |
| | We should care because we should care about the truth, but more than that, because these false beliefs are actually quite dangerous, for in the malignant minds of terrorists, they justify murder. | | | Avicenna attempted to extend the Neoplatonic Aristotle he inherited into a large and systematic philosophy of his own, Al-Ghazali criticized the elements of Avicenna's philosophy that he found incompatible with Islam, and Averroes defended Islamic philosophy against Al-Ghazali and commented on Aristotle. | | | Such is, in short, the origin of what would become what Johns calls "the Arab contribution to Western culture" and Smith "one of the most significant and lasting contributions of the medieval Muslim world to Christendom." |

| | As Muslims are a part of the world, and the Islamic resurgence shapes their relations with other nations and cultures, it is essential for them to listen to others' views of their revival. | | | However, for those who are committed to Islam an ideological discussion of the Islamic resurgence is necessary and beneficial. | | | It is helpful for Muslims themselves to hear what others think they should do in order to reach their glorious goal, which all Muslims believe requires intelligent and serious efforts to achieve. |
