The Arabs were great *transmitters* of   knowledge from other cultures and only occasionally originators. Long   story. The distinction between originators and users of knoweldge is pretty funny. If the originators are so smart, why aren't/weren't they using the knowldge? Smart enough to "originate" it but too dull to appreciated its value and use it? They were using it, it's just that good ideas that lead to innovation are always in demand, so they spread. I particularly enjoyed _Cathedral, Forge and Waterwheel_ which is a history of engineering innovation in the west, during the "dark ages".
