Does Allah want us to be stupid?

'Somehow in the last decade or so, millions of believers have been persuaded that they are repositories of sin because they watch films, love music and paintings, read books, experience temporal pleasures and ecstasies. Remember the ferocity with which the Taliban destroyed all pre-Islamic treasures? Saudi Arabia is guilty of similar vandalism. Thus they seek to recreate the piety of triumphant Islam. Well they didn't have cameras, mobile phones, cars and computers then. Should these be banned too?......

One artist I know put it beautifully: "Allah gave me my mind, my hands my eyes, my patience, my selfhood. I use all these gifts and show people the wonders of the world. How can that be wrong? Does God want us to be deaf, stupid and blind?" '

Why are they powerful?

So why are Muslims powerless? Here's another reason. We have lost the capacity to produce knowledge:

o In the entire Muslim World (57 Muslim Countries) there are only 500 universities.

o In USA alone, 5,758 universities

o In India alone, 8,407 universities

o Not one university in the entire Islamic World features in the Top 500 Ranking Universities of the World

o Literacy in the Christian World 90%

o Literacy in the Muslim World 40%

o 15 Christian majority-countries, literacy rate 100%

o Muslim majority - countries: None

o 98% in Christian countries completed primary

o Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary.

o 40% in Christian countries attended university

o In Muslim countries a dismal 2% attended.

o Muslim majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims

o The USA has 5000 per million

o The Christian world 1000 technicians per million.

o Entire Arab World only 50 technicians per million.

o Muslim World spends on research/development 0.2% of GDP

o Christian World spends 5 % of GDP


Conclusion:

o The Muslim World lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.


Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the degree of diffusing knowledge:

o Pakistan 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens

o Singapore 360 per 1000 citizens.

o In UK book titles per million is 2000

o In Egypt book titles per million is only 20


Conclusion:

o Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge


In other words, Arabs & Muslims as a whole are retarded when compared to other humans. Habis al Urduni is an excellent example.

Yes Habis, facts are hard to dispute. We understand.

"In Egypt book titles per million is only 20"

According to the "Living in Egypt" blog, there has been a big increase in the number of children's books in Arabic. This is good news, because children who are regularly read to learn fast.

Altogether, there is an urgent need for more books in Arabic, on all kinds of topics.

Habis;

Afghans are Caucasians(i.e. White), just like Europeans. Many Afghans are light eyed and a few even have red hair.

Try again ...

Aton said...

"Americans really look at Afghans like they do the British and Germans."

Habis

I look at Germans more like I do Arabs. Arabs are like the Nazi before they were destroyed by coalition forces.
