Like everything else the arabs use our art and science and call it "Islamic".But in reality the arabian peninsula has offered nothing but stones and tiers. The "uneducated" ones are those that paint over the art of Iranzamin and call it "the arts of muslim civilisations".

In order to not offend their main arabian supporters, museums prefer to use a general title " islamic art" and not to underline the persian, turkish, or sometimes indian origins of pieces.
