I'm always dismissed as a liar when I talk about it. They say to me, "You're a liar of history!" That's what they say to me when I talk about the Golden Age of Islam.

Today, who is the world's superpower? Without a doubt, the USA. The greatness of America cannot be denied. No empire is as mighty as the USA. But what if I told you that there was once a time when the most powerful empire in the world was not in America, nor even in Europe, but in the Middle East? And I'm not talking about the Roman Empire. I'm talking about the Caliphate, or more specifically, the Rashidun, Umayyad, and Abbasid Caliphate. Would you believe it? Many think I'm insane. But it is true. Back then, the Caliphate ruled the known world. Back then, every king, even the Roman emperor, bowed to the Caliph, the ruler of the Caliphate.

Culturally, intellectually, militarily, and economically, the Caliphate was the undisputed world power. Just as the USA is today. But how did that come about? I tell you, and it's the truth: The Jews. The Jews, whether you hate them or love them, you cannot deny that they are the most intelligent race in the world. They shared their knowledge with the Muslims. Their knowledge strengthened the Caliphate. Their knowledge made the Caliphate rise to become the world power. Muslims and Jews were great allies. Together they conquered lands. Together they were victorious. Together they ruled the world.
