Ok your reasoning here is so full of holes here…
First of all, what are we talking about? In what way did Western society eclipse the Muslims?
The LATIN world ! Which country are you refering too? How has the Latin world eclipsed the Muslim world? In what field?
I lived in Mexico and Belize, and neither of them was very impressive.
China was also well ahead of the Western world.. What happned there?!?!
Problem here is your jumpng all over the place. You need to be more specific.
The reason for the rise of Western Europe are many. Where do we begin?
How do you know the Muslim world has been frozen in time? And in what sense are they frozen in time? Islamic philosophy and arts have continued to grow and change.
Like I said, your vision is clouded by the fact that you can only precieve change within the narrow window of your own exsistance. But what the Muslims need is profound change. Such change does not develop over night. It develops in very small incriments over many generations.
We can look back on Western civilization and see landmarks because we see things in retrospect. But very few among the people living at the time would have recognized that something so small could have such a huge impact centuries later.
Imperialism is just one example, but to ignore it is a grave mistake. Imperialism had a huge impact.
The reason Israel gets spoken of so often is because one, Israel is a hot topic EVERYWHERE! The Middle East plays a HUGE role in global politics, and Israel is at the center of most Middle East discussions.. Second, because its the holy land, the Palestinians are fellow Muslims, and many Muslims including those on this forum feel a kinship with their fellow Muslims.
Saudia Arabia has been discussed on this forum before. You havet been here long enough to have taken part in the discussion.
How minorities should be treated in Saudia Arabia is a moot point. Whether I agree with the Saudis or not is not relevant to this topic. Suffice it to say that im not their biggest fan. But like I said, last I checked the people of Saudi are not up in arms. So unless I hear from the miserable people of Saudi myself, I cant assume your the expert.
Kashmir is NOT Indian territory, and it never will be. The idea is to allow the people of Kashmir the right to decide their own fate. Something a bleeding heart such as yourself should openly support. End of story.
Pakistan can pass all the legislation it wants and that will still not stop bigoted terrrorists… Thats a naive statement u made.
And Pakistan is fighting extremists last I checked… About time too.
