Hey guys,
I've been meaning to learn more about what the world, specifically the Middle East, was like before the invention of Islam. As we know, many ethnic groups had Islam forced upon them by the Gulf Arabs (mostly modern day Saudis), but what I want to know is what those Arabs were like before Islam. Did Islam help them to an extent, or did it hinder their growth and efforts to become civilized? More importantly, can all of the ills of the MENA region be traced back to Islam, or is it something else entirely? Is it just that humanity will always be in a constant state of warfare?
