Executive Summary

Muslims created a fake story that made their societies seem innovative.
They did this part by taking credit for the discoveries of dhimmis.

Introduction

Muslims needed to do create a story that would help counteract the obvious deplorable state of Islamic societies when it came to intellectual property development. They did so by taking credit for not only the pre-existing intellectual property of societies they conquered, but by converting the intellectual property of dhimmis living under their thumb as Muslim.

The Dhimmis

When Muslims conquered societies, they allowed non-Muslims to stay, but they were second-class citizens.

The Reality of Muslim Knowledge

This is explained in the following quotation.

It can be argued that the glory of Islam came not from Islam but its dhimmis’ wealth and knowledge. The dhimmis were the scholars, since the Arabs of Mohammed’s day were barely literate and their classical literature was oral poetry. The secular knowledge of Islam came from the Christians, Persians, Jews and Hindus. Islam is credited with saving the knowledge of the Greeks from extinction. This is ironic in two ways. First, it was the jihad against the Byzantine/Greek culture that caused its collapse. Secondly, it was the Syrian Christian dhimmis who trans- lated all of the Greek philosophers into Arabic. The Hindu numbering system was credited to Islam. The Muslims took the zero from Hindu mathematicians, and today we call our numbers Arabic numerals. From carpets to architecture, the Muslims took the ideas of the dhimmis and ob- tained historical credit. The lists of great Islamic scholars includes the dhimmis with Arabic names living under Islamic dominance. Over time, as the dhimmi population decreased, the “Golden Age” of Islam disappeared. The dhimmis produced the wealth of Islam.– The Hadith, The Sunna of Mohammed

This is very similar to the Spartans. The Spartans were warriors, but also thugs that were hired as muscle and used to put down Greek states where participatory governments were flourishing. The Spartans focused entirely on war. However, the only way they could do this is by having slaves that did everything else in Spartan society. These were the Helots. Muslims, like the Spartans, are professional thugs. Muslims focus on conquest or religion. The entire religion of Islam is about conquering other societies. This is how Islam spread.

What Life Was Like as a Dhimmi

B4,53,380 Umar drove all the Kafirs from Arabia. After Mohammed conquered Khaybar, he considered expelling the Jews from the land of Allah, Mohammed and the Muslims. However, the Jews asked Mohammed if they could stay in ex- change for their servitude and half of each harvest. Mohammed said, “You may
stay on those terms as long as it pleases us.” The Jews remained until Caliph Umar drove them from Arabia.

After jihad comes dhimmitude: Jihad cracks open the culture; dhimmitude It was Umar II who set the standards for dhimmis. His treaty states:

We shall not build, in our cities or in their neighborhood new monasteries, churches, convents, or monks’ cells, nor shall we repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins or are situated in the quarters of the Muslims. We shall show respect toward the Muslims, and we shall rise from our seats when they wish to sit.

We shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments.

We shall not mount on saddles, nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our persons. We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of
the Muslims. We shall only use clappers in our churches very softly.

We shall not raise our voices when following our dead. We shall not take slaves who have been allotted to Muslims.

We shall not build houses higher than the houses of the Muslims. Whoever strikes a Muslim with deliberate intent shall forfeit the protection of this pact.
(from Al-Turtushi, Siraj Al-Muluk, p. 229-30)

But this excerpt can not really describe the world of the dhimmi. Islam dominated all public space. The government was Islamic; the education was Islamic; dress was Islamic; literature was Islamic. Only inside the dhimmi’s house could there be no Islam. The word of a dhimmi could not be used in court against a Muslim and crimes against dhimmis were rarely prosecuted. The actual attitude of Islam toward the dhimmis was more contempt than hatred, and over time the dhimmis disappeared. They either left or converted. It
was too hard to be a second-class subject, and the extra taxes were a burden. As time went on both Christians and Jews became more Arabic in their outlook; they started to treat women as the Arabs did and their customs became more and more Islamic. Finally it was easier to accept Islam as their religion and stop
all the pressure and contempt. – The Hadith, The Sunna of Mohammed

What this means is that over time dhimmis stopped existing in Muslim conquered areas. If you notice, Muslim societies are normally close to 100% Muslim even though they don’t start out that way.

The Objective of the Islamic Dhimmi System

The whole point of creating the dhimmi system is that it is too difficult to live as a dhimmi, so you eventually convert to Islam.

The period that Muslims refer to as the Golden Age of Islam was when the dhimmis were still producing intellectual property. The evidence that the heralded discoveries of the Golden Age of Islam were not primarily performed by Muslims is that as soon as the ability of the caliphates to conquer new civilizations declined, the discoveries of the Golden Age of Islam slowed to a trickle.

Muslims destroyed the innovative traditions in the societies they conquered. Islam extinguished thinking replacing it with Muslim doctrine. This is why Muslim societies cannot produce intellectual property after the dhimmis become Muslims or they leave or are killed.

Conclusion

After studying Islam, the Golden Age of Islam story is one of a long list of lies and false information provided by Muslims to the world.

All of this is justified under the taqiyya. Any lie that advances Islam is justified according to the authoritative Islamic sources.

Islam was begun by a group of illiterate caravan robbers and slavers that engaged in horrendous levels of brutality. The caliphates began with the Umayyad Caliphate and those that followed spread through violent subjugation of other societies. Islam has always been based upon theft, theft of material possessions, and theft of discoveries. When Muslim societies cannot either steal intellectual property through conquest or parasitize the discoveries of dhimmis, the innovation in Muslim societies stops.

The Golden Age of Islam is a way of whitewashing this history of Islam.
