Why do Muslims join kuffar armies?

This line of reasoning has been used over and over again.

1,000 years Muslims were on top and now they are on bottom. So all Christian progress is due to Muslims.

And who did Muslims get their knowledge form? The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Persians.

So can I then conclude that Ancient Greeks invented the Internet?

The Romans invented the Car?

The Ancient Egyptians invented the Airplane?

Or the Persians invented Electricity?

Get a grip.

Muslims had an empire but they lost it due to infighting, the Mongol invasion, etc…
