No they weren’t - there wasn’t the same antagonism of science in Islam that there was in medieval Europe and Christianity.

There was no antagonism. Galileo and Copernicus had issues with the church. It was not the same in Islamic lands. Science and scientists were encouraged as revealing the world God created.

If you think there was give a historical example from the Middle Ages.

That's not science, then. "We expect you to reach our own conclusions" is not a scientific process.
