So you ARE a Muslim.

Greek texts were preserved and translated by Nestorian and Jacobite Christians.

Islamic art and architecture is Byzantine Christian.

Islam more prevented transmission of greek learning to the West than enabled it.

Algebra is Hindu. By algorithms, you likely mean logarithms, but it can't be verified by whom these were first used.

Arabic medicine was founded on the work of two Arab Christians.

Avicenna and Averroes emphasised logic and reason, the two things that disappeared from the Islamic world while being advanced in the West.

The thing about Wikipedia is that it cites sources for its claims. While this is no guarantee of accuracy, when it comes to basic encyclopedia fare like early medieval history, the facts are long-established and uncontroversial.

You, on the other hand, just make assertions.
