Same thing happened to Germany when Nazism motivated so many rocket scientists left, and way way back in history, when the arabs switched to calling science and numbers heresy... and suddenly they went from being the innovators and inventors of science, math, etc to being completely out of the running for good on all matters mathematical and scientific for the rest of time until now, and for the foreseeable future. Choosing fanatical religion put them back in the stone age and caves, metaphorically speaking.
