A man once asked Sheikh Adud al-Din al-Iji: "Why was it that, during the era of the Caliphs, people frequently laid claim to divinity or prophethood—yet today, no one does such a thing?"

Oh for SURE the Europeans dialed that to 11 and remade the world in their system’s much worse and racist image. Right as always chancellor.
But we’ve had kings/emperors/pharaohs/caliphs/billionaires/warlords/whatever-title nearly everywhere as long as we’ve had cities with quite few exceptions.

Just to clarify - the Prophet never advocated Sharia Law,
It was created afterwards by scholars picking out relevant texts from the Quran, the hadiz (prophet sayings) & precedent set by the Imans/Caliphs.
E.G Monarchy is banned in Islam - yet look at Saudi Arabia & the Gulf States.

Ironically, this resembles how early caliphs referred to areas conquered by their armies (“Dar al-Islam”)

I neglected to mention that Persian sources were incorporated as well. Yes, Abassid Caliphs al-Mansur, al-Rashid, and especially al-Ma'mun were the principal developers.

Arabs only went out to conquer the Levant under the Rashidun Caliphs after the death of Muhammad, so no connection there.

Yeah in general the Catholics are really exceptional examples among the Abrahamics because in our post caliphal world (and frankly, even when the caliphs were around) the Muslims also have a lot in common there

No, the rulers of the land for those 2000 years were Romans, and then a sequence of Caliphs, and then the British, and then the modern state of Israel.
The occupants of that land were also Jews for much of it, gradually being replaced by the groups that would become the Palestinians.

It's a self-serving lie, of course, but this is as true for India's Hindus and Muslims as it was for the Emirs and Sultans and Caliphs of Al-Andalus and their Christian counterparts in Spain and Portugal. The 'religious war' is always half to three quarters bullshit for most but for the few....

DYK, like ancient Athenians, a whole class of public women—courtesans—developed among early Muslims? They served as ornaments & hostesses in the courts of the caliphs, sheiks, & other nobles allowing men to give their eyes & his fantasies free rein.

Cleese is being completely historically illiterate here. As early as the Abbasid dynasty, many of the caliphs themselves were the sons of slaves. And he's conflating eunuchs (khasiyy or khadim) with slave soldiers (mamluks or ghilman) who most definitely were not castrated.

32: In my opinion, the greatest single Semitic civilisation—notwithstanding the opulent glories of Babylon, the well-knit culture of Judaea, and the political-mercantile prowess of the Phoenicians and Carthaginians—is that of the Islamic Caliphs in the Middle Ages.
