It's possible that the Muslims helped in the transfer of ancient knowledge known from the Greeks and Romans to the Europeans. The Muslims may not have invented or discovered those things but they did help to spread it, which isn't completely contrary to that wiki you posted.

Few of the great Muslim scientific achievements stood alone, but were derived by Muslim scientists standing on the shoulders of those who came before them. Also, by transmitting Greek, Roman, Hindu, Persian and Egyptian knowledge (some of which may have been lost were it not for these Arabic translations), these Muslim scientists did humanity a great service.
