The Ottomans did not rule the Mediterranean for 500 years. Only for perhaps 200 years before being beaten to a pump in naval powers by the Venetians and Iberians in the 1600s and first half of the 1700s and the Industrialised NW European powers of France and England in the 1700s and 1800s and WW1. By the time the Ottoman were at the Gates of Vienna, the great divergence had began and the game was up the sublime Porte, and the true steep decline has began after the treaty of Passarowitz. Western Science and engineering and Empirical-Rationalist philosophy have taken roots in much of Northern and central Europe. This translates in more advance military drills and doctrines (see Maurice of Nassau) and more Newtonian physics have given the Christian powers to develop more advanced weapon systems, while the Turks still used the old Humbaracı field artillery system that still depended on the old line of sight technique that was out dated in Enlightenment Era Western Europe. In-fact it was french man who introduced modern military warfare techniques to the Turks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude...re_de_Bonneval). And the Ottoman lasted as they did in the Balkans not due to Military prowess but intra-European power politics. Basically the French and British did not want to see Russia have access to the Dardanelles and a ice free base in Med, while the Austrians did not to see an over powerful Russia that may disrupt the balance of power in Central Europe and incite Pan-Slavism within Hapsburg territory. If western powers did not intervene, the Russians would have been at the Gates of Constantinople long ago. Also Iran publishes scientific papers barely above the level of Belgium, an small artificial state in Europe, and Iran is actually one of the two most leading science journal publishers in the Islamic world. And Egypt? An a nation of a hundred million where they have an GDP less than that of the Netherlands, where they dependent on US money to fund their over-bloated military and gulf petro-oil money for food support and to buy grain? LOL! The land of taharush and where 90% of Teenage girls have the vagina butchered for puritanical reasons LMAO

To those saying Middle Easterners are racially inferior please look at Israel who is better than all South Euro/East Euro countries and on pair with UK and France. I lived in Israel for a while and they're predominately Middle Eastern. Even Ashkenazim still are Middle Eastern. Is it a coincidence that Israel is better? Is it a coincidence that the only non-Muslim nation in the Middle East is the best one?
No. Reality is very clear: Islam brings backwardness. Period.

Well Ashkenazi jews are genetically distinguishable from other semitic ethnicities.
A bunch of the greatest minds were and are Ashkenazi jews, Israel profits from them too. But indeed Islam is holding alot of ethnicities back, Persia/Iran would be a great power without it.
I think the biggest problem with Arabs is their culture of Cousin marriage which fucks the gene pool and leads to literal degeneration.
