#3 When Islam gained power initially they did fairly well. Conquered half the world and held it for centuries (Yeah, they were violent from day one). Back then they didn't simply burn knowledge discovered by others but embraced it.

Shame at being left behind by the west, and the resulting not-invented here mentality that resulted, combined with inbreeding have made them the mess they are now.

#5 When Islam gained power initially they did fairly well. Probably the result of breaking the status quo in the newly conquered lands and letting talented "commoner" show their talents. Once the social order settled (like concrete...) the pace of innovation died off again.

#6 In the west they expanded over areas the Visogoths had already beaten down. I don't know as much about the eastern expansion.
