If Islam is a source of knowledge....

Islam is a source of knowledge…..why Muslim communities are considered backwards in all aspects of life?

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

because they are not using the source of knowledge, that is the Islam. Simple as it is.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

^ Nah, because they r still retarded enough to belive in black magic !

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

:slight_smile: in 2:102 it is said to exist but a kuf’r to perform. Forbidden.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

Anjjan, mere bachay, you Hindustanis are supposed to be spiritual or something...At least Deepak Chopra would have us believe that...Use some of it...

We Muslims draw from past lessons...The Children of Israel were slaves of the Egyptians for centuries, yet they were the smartest of people and God's chosen...Then why such trials and tribulations...

It's all spiritual...

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

because most of them are uneducated.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

nahin laajjo he is talking about being uneducated.....so lets talk about being educated....the only way to be educated is by
1)worshipping stones
2)caste system
3)rituals like sati
and many others...
I am sorry if anyone is getting offended but sometimes some of these guys just ask for it

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

Allah is the source of Knowledge!

  • We don't pray to Allah and we expect him to help us. As if He is our servant and we are his bosses. Allah has left Jews and Christians inorder to kick us on track whenver we get off it (Israr Ahmed).

  • We are based on Usury and Interest - we are at WAR with Allah. Now beacuse we were guided and chosen, we deserve and will have the greatest wrath when we go astray.

  • Today we labeled as Muslims act worse than Jews and Christians. So what do you expect?

Allah Knows the Best!

103:1 By (the Token of) Time (through the ages),
103:2 Verily Man is in loss,
103:3 Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual
teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

distrust of "white man's education system". classic case - indian subcontinent. to this day, a lot of economically poor muslims are lead on to believing that sending their kids to a "western sytle" school is bad. hindus and sikhs were "sell outs" who caught on a bit quicker.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

that is true… but that doesnt mean muslims everywhere are backwards…look at dubai, malaysia, even in pakistan education is getting better and people are learning…many other examples but just saying that all the muslims are backward will be wrong

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

That has some truth to it, plus during the British rule we Muslims were crushed in everyway economically, politically and socially, whilst Hindus were preffered because they were and are good butt-lickers which has left us behind in a lot of fields (including arse licking) compared to Hindus.

It’s the case with a lot of Muslim countries, most of our countries have only recently been freed from European Colonialism where we’ve been suppressed in everyway, wars against us from outside and third persons causing civil wars amongst us, plus economic sanctions against us have also played their part.

Some countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates are not doing that bad and even a lot of other Muslim nations are economically better off than India.

Still nothing is more backward than bobbing your head up and down to lifeless idols, burning your women alive, drinking urine on a regular basis, dividing humanity based on what caste they’re born into, smearing your houses with cow poo, worshipping penis and vulva, sacrificing ‘low caste’ kids to your ‘goddess’, turning pre-pubescent girls into temple prostitutes to sexually serve the priests and pilgrims, preaching non-violence towards animals but not having any inhibitions slaughtering a six month old Muslim baby from Gujarat and many many many others.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

thanks mate :k:

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

Islam is intolerent to different cultures. Islam has the culture of the arabs. And they do not want to modify it to the place where they live. U r South-asian and still follow Arab culture. And this leads to conflict.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

Polly wanna cracker? Good lesson you have learnt…:smiley:

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

bobbing your head up and down to nothing is better right then :slight_smile: .
drinking urine !!!
Who drinks that..!!!:eek: .
dividing humanity based on what caste they’re born into!!
Pray tell me what is the origin of different sect in Muslim and christianity though.
How many of u intermarry.
smearing your houses with cow poo!!
Cow is considered holy.. do u a have a problem with that. Dont u need to worship ur mother.. it gives u milk. It sustained u all ur life. Without her u will not have been born.:eek: . Cow is a just symbolic representation of once mother.
pre-pubescent girls into temple prostitutes to sexually serve the priests and pilgrims.
Oh so its better then to give away ur 11 year old daughter to a wealthy old arab. ha..Dont tell me it doesnt exist now. Actually it started to exist only now. The prostitute that u were saying existed in old time..not any more..or far in between.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

laja.. i dont know what did u mean.. but let me explain.. I have nothing against Islam. Only when u try to get Islam to be practiced like the arabs do then i have a problem. I have many muslim friends dear.. and i dont look at them as Muslims.. they are brothers to me.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

I think because for some reason intolerance of other people and religions are fostered (just look at the replies before blasting me, you all just proved it) and an inability to adapt and change without 7 forms of permission from the nearest Iman.

Other than that Muslims have all the tools necessary, they just seem to be their own worst enemy.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge…

Answer is pretty simple. Back in the good old days of Ottoman Empire, last real Mulsim power things were very different. After breakup of the Ottoman Empire and colonization of Muslim territories by Western powers, there has been a gradual descent in all spheres of life.

Since Muslim states have gained independence, they have stayed in the third world status for one reason or the other. Muslims wud like to blame the west for their ills, while westerners in search of easy solutions brand Islam as the source of problems. Both of them are wrong.

Islam is the reason or source of inspiration which imbued early muslims to strive for knowledge and search out the universe created by God. Driven by the early spirit of Islam’s egalitarian teachings and sense of social justice, Muslims were not only able to enhance their empires, they were also very successful in convincing others of Islamic virtues. Very early on (with some hesitation), Muslim elite recognized the importance of conversion and acceptance of different ethnic socieities into the Islamic fold. This quality of being able to accept and adapt was one of the major attributes which led to increased conversion, emphasis on literature and sciences, urge to find more about different ideas, willingness to listen and understand Greek philosophies, importance of poets, research and followup of Ahadeeth, and the great Sufis’ who spread the message of Islam.

Re: If Islam is a source of knowledge....

^ As long as Sufism is under attack by the retarded forces in Islam, Muslims will always be backwards and ignorant.
