Hi,

But I suspect I've shot wide of the mark. So do elaborate, please. B)

What, you mean like Averroes, or Avicenna? Al-Khwarzmi? The most important minds in all Islamic history were working from an explicitly Greek root of knowledge.

If anything, the criticism of Islamic learning is that it relied too much on ancient Greek learning, and did not invent enough for itself. Not that the "West" was doing any better at that point.
