Nope. Arab world was having a golden age of art, science, math, etc.. which ultimately led to the Italian renaissance.

Uh... I guess you could say that. If you count invading eastern Europe and forcing scholars to converge in places like Florence. Also, like I mentioned before, they preserved some the writings from Alexandria, leading them to be reintroduced to the west.

I'd credit the printing press for the onset of the Renassaince far more than I would the Arabic golden age.
