You clearly haven't done any research on the Islamic Golden age - to call it an oriental construct is facetious in itself. To completely neglect the advancements made by Islamic philosophers, astronomers, physicians, and mathematicians is to completely neglect two hundred years of history.

You make the argument that Al Ghazali (who wrote the Incoherence of Philosophers) was the only significant thinker of the Islamic golden age but that's completely self-contradictory. The premises of Ghazali arguements would have never been formulated without the significant impact that the translations and commentaries being made by his contemporaries and predecessors. In other words, the philosophical works of Plato, Aristotle, and the pre-socratic Greeks would have never been made available to the Middle East or Western civilization without the efforts of several philosophers that lived with and before Ghazali proposed his notion of the incoherence of philosophy primarily in metaphysics and ontology. That argument in itself that you just made is dependent on the thriving influence that the province of philosophy had on the history of science and philosophy during the course of the islamic golden age.
