And Arab influence ran from the middle east through Europe to Southern Spain. Bringing Culture, art, science and peace over 3 continents. Byzantium, Ottoman and others ruled for years helping Europe rebuild. With all this going on for 1400 years, what the hell is going on with Iaran. The country is still in the middle ages going backwards.

After 470 with the withdrawl of Roman influence Western Europe found itself without the skills that Rome brought. Civil engineering was the most prominent. Islam started to take root in the middle East by 630-700ad This is the time I'm talking from. The Ottoman empire ended after the First world war 1300 years later. (Roman lettering, Arabic numbering)

At the fall of the Roman Empire, the remains were picked up by the Holy Roman Empire. The power of the Church denied progress and advancement for 1000 years. Science and reason were abandoned and any contributions the Arabs brought were quickly washed away once they were expelled.
Theocracy is not conducive to progress.
We have seen this in Europe for centuries
We see this in Iran today.

The Arab / Middle East has never made it out of the Middle Ages
and as Islamic Faschist Fundamentalist Religious Governments,
Schools and Populace dominate this area, there appears little
hope of their ever making it out of the middle ages..
Unfortunately, they have access to modern weaponry and put
no value on human life so there seems little solution other than
all out war between the Civilized world and the Muslim world.

Iran is NOT in the middle ages
In many ways, they are more advanced than the US
They are a more restrictive religion-based society, but that doesn't necessarily make them backwards

It's fundamentalism, it can happen in any country that has a strong religious slant.
