Modern urbanization and its impact in the East

Modern civilization begins its history with the Romans - as some researchers see - that nation that conquered with its power and brought under its authority most of the known world at that time. It has great credit in establishing our present civilization on the pillar of refinement, equality and freedom. The Romans - even if they did not reach the level that the Arabs and then the Franks reached. Those after them have done us a great favor by recognizing and promoting these advantages, even if they singled out them for themselves over others.
When the Islamic religion appeared, and its call prevailed over the kingdoms of the East and the African peoples, and its reach extended to the West with its many conquests, great care was devoted to upgrading the pillars of civilization by strengthening it with sciences and knowledge, as the pages of history and the monuments of time attest to its sublime bounty and great benefit. The city of Baghdad, the capital of their kingdom in the East, was full of literature clubs and science landmarks, full of students from all over the East, and flourishing with its mother masters of poetry, prose, and the arts. The caliphs used to bestow huge sums of money on people of knowledge and knowledgeable people out of a desire to stimulate them.
