Vedi ji you must let go of this argument.Islam has accepted that knowledge must be acquired and used.Which is a good mindset to have.The only problem with Islam right now is dogmatism and extremism.And since we have ample evidence that in their quest for knowledge they had to tap into the resources of our civilization,we should not keep repeating it for fear of sounding like blowing our own trumpet.I am sure Balaord agrees.
