So you're a racist who says it didn't?
What about the Abbasid Caliphate and the things it achieved or got before Hulagu rendered Baghdad uninhabitable for more than 200 years, and killed atleast 15 - 18 million Muslim sin the Middle East altogether?

Muslims in the*
The concept for the Arabian Nights trope itself from stuff like the link somebody showed above your comment came from the existence of the Abbasid Caliphate or Islamic Golden Age
any islamic society will always be dragged back to following the lifestyle of an 8th century warlord
Development happens in spite of islam.
During expansionary phases it might ingest and distribute collected knowledge but fails to apply logic and develop ideas
If you want to provide evidence to the contrary I'm all ears
Islam is a religiopolitical ideology not a race
The entire mughal fucking empire for starters?
Offshoot gunpowder empire, all their architecture was Persianate with an Indian underclass to maintain that shit, also they were so horrible occupiers that an entire religion was spread out based on not taking their shit anymore.
You could have tried the Safavids maybe, but again, there was a national aspect to the culture and an intense, deep opposition to what they perceived as the Arab domination of Sunni Islam.
So no, Sunni is an absolute shit, Shi'a could acquire emancipatory aspects due to historical occurences, but always materially based (e.g. Druzes and Hezbollah in Lebanon).
But really all religions deserve the torch.
Not all, just remove the desert cults.
Nah Buddhism needs a good cleanup too, at the very least.
Also I don't know what you would name Hinduism (steppe cult??), but if you read the Bhagavad Gita you see why the fascists loved the Hindoos so much.
And only the existence of the caste system is inexcusable, even if you leave out that transcendentalist yaoi eternal fascism anime shit Arjuna gets into.
Also most animisms don't count as religion in the historical sense, so yeah of course if people in Africa want to bring a witch doctor in to bless a new factory or smth, fair enough, they'll get bored of it soon.
But if they start defending private property or those other spooks of course even the shamans should be hunted down by helicopters.
Funny that all the gunpower empires were muslim innit, almost like they were a part of say, the Islamic Silver age.
Lamo like Persian culture wasn't heavily islamicised by the 1600s
Not really, the whole thing about the Mughals is that they brought an administration with them that displaced the Indian rajas.
1) shit tier understanding of Sikhism
2) the Mughals were one of the most important dynastic rulers in history
Nice goalpost moving.
The Druze aren't even shi'ia you daft shit. ALso "Muh x religion is good but y is bad because feels" is anti-materialism.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī says that muhammad (pbuh) porked aisha when she was nine
which was the mughal emperor that saw the flaws in islam and the other religions and tried to pull together the best elements of each of them to create a better future by creating his own religion?
