The Sumerians and the original Egyptians (who weren't Arabs) used written language well before Islam came about.

Comparing Galileo to the East is ridiculous because his achievements were made independently and were more sophisticated than those before him. His inventions and advancements on observatories and telescopes were in a class beyond that of the East for the time.

But good luck comparing other areas like music at the time of Mozart with that of Elvis 200 years later.
