Assigning ancient Persian, Asyrian and Babylonian inventions to Muslims is as ridiculous as assigning ancient Greek and early Roman inventions to Christians.
This is another case of assigning all middle eastern inventions to Islam, in a way that we just wouldn't stand for with any other religion.
Remember that the Persian religion was Zoroastrianism, until they were invaded by the Muslims, just as Europe was Pagan until they were forced to convert by Constantine.
We should not plunder the achievements of ancient civilisations to inflate the importance of our modern civilisations. Thier culture was much different from ours and we shouldn't try and recast thier cultures in the image of our own. Don't do a reverse 300.

p.s. All Religion sucks! Notice how when Europe was more religious than the Middle East, Europe had the dark ages, and the Middle East had a golden age, and now the Middle East is more religious, and Europe is secular, it's the other way around. Coincidence? Methinks not!
