Just a note that Islam played its part in propagating the culture of
learning inherited from the ancient Greeks, back when the Christians’
idea of “learning” was making elaborately-illuminated copies of their
holy books.

 Spengler saw the Abbasid Caliphate as the late phase of the Arabian
culture before it devolved into the Seljuk empire. Al-Andalus is long gone
to be replaced by fellaheen with suicide vasts.

The Islam of a 1000 years ago was dominated by Persian intellectuals who had only just been subjugated and forcibly converted to Islam - Omar Khayaam writes of drinking wine. Hardly fundamentalist.
Once Islam was thrown out of Europe, it became just another middle eastern death cult
Unfortunately it is one of the few sections of humanity still breeding beyond replacement rate and looking for new homes. And has the perfect ideology - the infidel deserves no respect, no honor, and no life.
It is the new Nazism, only this time its not just the Jews, its that 'aryans' as well.
