hi. I've removed this post because it comes off a little loaded/soapboxy (per subreddit rule.

The questions themselves are fine in essence, but the language is such that it would likely turn off the very specialists that you would like to address this question, specifically, using language like 'so hostile', possibly 'western education', 'backwards', 'anti education', 'quite positive towards education'. Keep in mind that specialists who might be answering your question could actually be part of the group being stereotyped here, or at least sympathetic/understanding, so getting their back up isn't conducive to an open dialog.

Hello! I briefly talked about the Golden Age of Islam before here and also talked at the end about some modern anti-Western groups such as ISIS or Boko Haram. It may not be exactly what you are looking for but it is something to peruse until someone else can answer this question more directly.

Have fun and if you have questions about what I wrote before just ask!
