Answer:

The right answer is "False".

Step-by-step explanation:

That statement is false and it contradicts what we take as historical facts.

Many Islamic cities in conquered Spain and in the Middle East became centers of learning and study after the 8th century and onwards. The arts, maths, science and knowledge flourished. It was thanks to translations from Greek into Latin made by Muslim sages that the thinking and works of several classical Greek philosophers and thinkers of ancient times was rescued for European culture.
