If "There are Christian communities all over the Muslim world", how many Christian churches are in Saudia Arabia?

The Dark Ages was produced by Germanic pagan destruction of Christian Rome. It was Christianity that kept Western civilization intact, and led to the Renaissance with the advances of the modern world. Islamic countries descended into their dark ages for the past 500 years, caused by a restrictive, repressive way of living.

In Andalucia, under the Almohad and Almoravid Muslim rule, Christians and Jews lived as second class citizens, with a special punitive tax and onerous restrictions in every day life. It was a harmony with Muslims calling the tune.

It may be good idea for you to admit impulse and retract your statement ! And stop the lies and distortiions.
