Did you know that Islam and Middle East had a golden age?

Between 9th and 13th century, islam and Middle East lived it's best era and golden age. There was dozens of important scientists and philosophers there. I wish Middle East was not backwards now. I hope one day the Middle East will get rid of this strict islamic laws and focus more on science, technology, education, art, freedom and philosophy again.
