The reason why we are behind is that we still in the past locked in our culture,which I thunk is based on racism .We still teach our children at school how we were strong and managed to invade Alandalus and we regret it that we lost it. We teach our kids that every one else not like us is Kafar ..................The others were like us in first world one and two but finally they solved their issue and came up with the human rights .charter . Freedom of expression, freedom of religion ,you can worship or not worship any god, freedom of political views, freedom to have nationality....please google it. These are the bases of their constitutions i.e DASATEER. On the other hand we still live in the past and we rely on GOD to solve all our issues .We name 999 names Raheem , great ...etc and yet we accuse him that he is behind all the killings and deaths of our negligent doctors or drivers ..............In our news papers we ignite hatred on daily bases towards any one else is different because we think we are the greatest on earth . Remember Hitler was the worst natzies and Saddam Hussien too .Al Bath party is nothing but a racist when they say the Arabs are the greatest. What happens if every nation say the same. Look at the Arabs who immigrate to the west based on Human rights DATEER, the firsts thing they want to do is ignite problems and force SARAIA LAW on these modern societies .As you are aware SHARIA is considered to be a constitution in ISLAM. The west is not against any religion you can even declare that you do not believe in any GOD, but you can not force your believes or your GOD on others because that what the west come up with finally which I believe the greatest invention of mankind is the Human rights.It is a good reference to all humans and accepts every one equally .It is not good you come and say christionaty is the best or jewsh or Islam or Budaest ....etc these religions are specific to their followers and considers others not fit .Islam considers all others Kufar, christian protestant and Catholics fought like crazy....... We need to change and use the tools available to us to progress. We use all the west tools such as cars, TVs....etc but when it comes to Human rights we start to have problems. Hundreds of thousands of people lived in many arab countries for hundreds of years and not given citizenship, women deprived from passing their citizenship to their kids, women are not treated equally ........................This is why we have issues. and will continue until the day comes where in our high schools we will teach not only specific religions and brain wash our kids with it but when high school students be able to read about world religions including their own, when our high school students be able to choose their subjects to study based on credits system so they learn freedom of choice.... when the day comes a person is truly free as in our great religion Islam says born free so every one can live and choose the way he wants and who ever he wants to believe , this means we are close to respect all humans and treat them equally . We can not afford to live off the past. I saw a couple of years ago one a female student young one talking about the horses in Yarmouk fight and how she feels SAHEEL horses. Is this what we want our kids to learn how we killed less people when we were in Alandalus while others kill more than us in wars . It is sad to see even your article goes in line with what I said and I do not blame you because you are too brain washed since you were young
