Your definitions align with my idea (probably not original...) that islam is a stone-age socio-economic system dressed up as religion.
With the emphasis on “stone-age.”

Arab science was stunning - 1000 years ago. Nothing much of consequence was accomplished in the Arab world after the advent of islam.

the question is -- was it really "Arab" science? No. These were not Bedouins but rather Persians or Syrians or Eyptians or Greek/Indian converts.

Also another question -- was this "Moslem"? And the answer again is no -- most of these were first generation converts and many of these ideas were taken from the preceding Persian, Aramean, Indian, Greek, Syrian, Egyptian, Berber etc. civilisations.
