Anna, dear, thats probably would be the best answer to your statement. The modern world maintains a poor image of the muslims and tend to forget what their contributions are. I criticised them above but I'm not blind to the good things that came from 'em.
Dont say that you are unaware of the fact that History has been twisted and turned according to the convenience of the Dominating nation. It has most often been a Political Propaganda rather than the undoctored truth. Think of the medieval church and the atrocities they inflicted upon the free thinkers. Consider how the Nazi expounded the twisted idea of the Aryan supremacy as a race and used it to their advantage. Consider the Aryan Invasion bullshit as postulated by the British scholars. Is it History as it is or History rewritten?

Right; They were not necessarily muslims that faught on horseback, consider them as pre-islamic Persians then. But they were the desert people who learnt to use horses as a mobilising technique in ancient warfare. You cannot predate Greek cavalry to Persian cavalry, remember Darius the great? 550BC.
Hannibal(247BC). The earliest Assyrian fighters, Persuma (early Persians) and Medes came from 850BC.
