Have Muslims made a mockery of Islam?

I disagree. The reason the West surpassed the Muslim world and the East is very complex, but religion is not a big part of it. India, China, and Britain were one of the three places primed to industrialize (based on economic measures) but only the British undertook it, and while it resulted in painful growth, they went on to dominate the world.

If we had desired worldly pleasures, don’t you think our civilization would have been more ruthless (like the West) in the pursuit of said desires? We turned to religion because by all other measures, our civilizations were being surpassed.

Dear Ghost, people who are are victim of religion cannot develop because religion turns thinking human beings into brain dead people because religion is ruled by priests who victimise humanity as much as they can just like rulers and bankers.

As for development, the quran offers the best way forward that cannot be argued against or surpassed but do people care to educate themselves so that they could think beyond themselves? So long as rivalries between mankind are not given up and laziness and craziness is not thrown out, humanity cannot really progress and prosper as it ought to and that is the real problem. We are not prepared to give each other time to help each other if anything each of us is trying to push down the other down the ditch of hell. Individuals, families, countries, all are doing it because we believe in law of jungle rather than rising above animal level and becoming proper human beings with caring and sharing mindset, attitude and practices. Once we reach that level, we will see a whole lot different world all around us. A paradise so to speak.

regards and all the best.
