Arguments exist concerning the length of the Muslim Golden Age. The Muslim movement was not monolithic. However, when the Golden Age ended in one place, it did not start up again in that location. When the Taliban and Al Qaeda gained control of Afghanistan, a new Golden Age of learning did not arise.

The Muslim Golden Age began about 850ad. It ended in Spain in 1175 ad, when the reactionaries imprisoned Averroes and burned his books. His students wanted him to go with them to Europe but he refused.

It was destroyed in Persia and Iraq by the Mongol invaders in the early 1200s.

By about 1450 it had been crushed all over except for pockets that kept the old learning alive.
