They preserved the knowledge of the Roman past, combined it with Persian, Indian and Far Eastern discoveries and further advanced themselves. The ignorant West, far more intolerant, invaded in the crusades, but would benefit from Islamic culture when e.g. Staufian emperor Fredric II practiced multiculturalism. The Mongol invasion would smash the Bagdad caliphate for centuries, weakening Islam in all senses till the Ottoman regrouping, while at the periphery, e.g. Samarkand, something was still preserved and achieved.
