On the religion of peace bit, it's bullshit. No Abrahamic religion has ever been a religion of peace, because they label people on the basis of eternal salvations and punishments. That seems like a temptation to hostility off top. Islam was more stable, and much more so, at one point. It has not been stable, nor approached the stability of christianity, with all of it's insanity and schism, for hundreds of years. The only thing that kept the Islamic world in check was empires like the Ottomans, numerous older Caliphates, and the Byzantines.
On the inventions. The religion itself never helped anyone with any sort of explanatory or mechanical work. When Doctors in the Islamic Golden age performed a masectomy for breast cancer, the Quran and Hadith provided nothing to base this particular field of knowledge upon. That would be akin to reading Genesis, with it's author's belief that the stars are affixed in pillars above the Earth, and saying "Eureka!! I found the basis for astronomy!!"
I don't think its fair to compare the stability of Christianity which has been largely abandoned in favor of secular government to the Islamic world which is trying to sort out their borders and national identities in the aftermath of colonial and autocratic rule. Christianity was so unstable that Europe abandoned it more and more over the last few hundred years. How many countries are actually ruled by Christian law?
In regards to the inventions, it would be wise to note that most of the inventors and scientists were educated religiously as well. The Madrassa system which gave them their education gave significant focus to religion in addition to other areas of learning. In fact, these same inventors frequently attributed their desire to learn and excel in their areas of scholarship to Islam.
There are also frequent verses and hadiths that inspire Muslims to go out and learn.
"My Lord, increase me in knowledge." Quran 20:114
"Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim."
Source: Hadith Sunan Ibn Majah 224
"The Prophet continued to increase in knowledge until Allah the Exalted took his soul."
Source: Tafsīr al-Qur’ān al-‘Aẓīm 20:114
"The seekers of two concerns are never satisfied: the seeker of knowledge and the seeker of the world."
al-Muʻjam al-Kabīr 10239
You have to remember that the inventors, thinkers etc would have been well versed in Islam. For example, Nasir Ad Din Al Tusi who has a crater on the Moon named after him today and and also a minor planet, and described a basic theory of evolution in the 13th century, was educated in the Quran, Hadith, Islamic Jurisprudence, logic, philosophy, mathematics, medicine and astronomy.
