This is not true. The vast, vast, vast majority of works from the classical world we have were saved by byzantine and western European monks.

I am thankful we the works saved by Muslims, but there has been a gross over reaction where the true source of most of our knowledge of the classical world has been ignored so people can score woke points for praising non western cultures and erasing the contributions of the west and christendom.
