PHILOSOPHICAL NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOPS?

Why has islam been a salted earth for trust, intellectual, and commercial development? Once islam was widely adopted by the conquered (host) peoples, why did they decline so rapidly? Why does islam remain so hostile to intelligence?

1) Innate inferiority of the adopting/conquered peoples

2) Universal breeding with african slaves.

3) Consequences of cousin marriage (inbreeding)

4) Consequences of failure to transform from migratory herder antagonistic norms to static cooperative farmer norms.

5) Problem of inability to control underclass reproduction among tribal, non-agrarian, non-commercial, peoples

6) Islam teaches freedom of emotional expression and ritual but not mental discipline? It teaches one must be respected not earn respect by his behavior? It teaches memorization but not innovation? It teaches conformity but not meritocracy? In other words, it consists of fully negative feedback loops?

So, basically, have I just said that islam consists of a nothing but negative feedback loops? It’s tenets produce the precise opposite of western civilization?

Would the west have been so dominant without the discovery of the New World and the colonization made possible by the lagging development of (a) north america/Australia (c) Caribbean, (b) Africa, (c) the fall of the islamic empires because of inability to adapt, (c) India, and (d) China (the opium trade which i regard as an evil)?

That said western ethics consist of almost exclusively positive feedback loops.
