Islam Can Not be Trusted wth Historical Treasure

Considering how much Islamic art still exists,

You do know that the Muslim areas of the world was one of the store houses of human knowledge during the dark age in Europe?

I'm sure you know how to use Google. It isn't hard.

It was the Islamic imperialism that caused the Dark Ages.

However when we get to the early 700’s AD life begins to change drastically: coinage disappears, artisans are forced to give up their trades and go back to living on the land, books disappear, schools close, the roads and aqueducts and other infrastructure are no longer maintained and the standard of living throughout the Roman world begins to decline sharply.

What happened? The answer is quite simple. This was when the Islamic armies began their war against the West. Starting in the late 600’s AD these armies invaded Egypt, North Africa and the old Fertile Crescent area. With them they not only brought Islam they also brought practices, which resulted in economic catastrophe for the entire region from which it has never recovered even to this day.The Coming of the Dark Ages

Islam caused the Dark Ages - The argument for it.

Emmet Scott revives an overlooked book by Pirenne to argue that Islam in effect caused the Dark Ages. The barbarians who had arrived earlier didn't try to erase the Greco-Roman culture, they had hung onto it. On the emergence of militant Islam, the "Middle Sea" changed from a highway of trade to a battleground. By the mid seventh century, luxury goods and the classical culture infrastructure disappeared around the Mediterranean. Soil erosion (as farms were abandoned near the coast) and castles came into prominence and the Roman emperor stopped having his face on coinage after 640 AD. This story runs against the prevailing wisdom but has supporting facts. By the year 1000, it's true that Europeans were going to Islamic lands to acquire preserved knowledge but before that, Islam suppressed more than it preserved. A detailed review of Emmet Scott's book, "Mohammed and Charlegmagne Revisited" and Amazon.com where a couple chapters can be freely read.

Try finding any Islamic scripture that supports arts and sciences outside of what is in the Koran.

I could tell you about the flowering arts of Islamic countries during the Dark Ages but I'm not interested in educating such a racist bigot..
