^ yes, it is kind of amusing, much like when members of the world’s poorest and least educated religion say that they are “superior from God’s point of view”.
It sure don’t seem like His favorite.
and please spare me the imperialism/colonialism propoganda that I know you want to spew.

what do u mean by that :-|
studies show that the Islamic ummah falls well behind Jews/Judaism and Christianity when it comes to education and economic prosperity. From what I remember it was just ahead of hinduism in the latter category but behind in the former.

I see so that’s what got your chadee into knots? Didn’t like the truth being exposed did you?
Every society has had it’s ups and downs right now our society might be the most uneducated and poorest but it’s a fact that this is due to western imperialism/colonialism etc.
Also we would rather be materialistically poor than spiritually deprived like you Americans because the enjoyment of this world is only deception.
The future is for Islam, we too had a golden age once and Allah willing we will regain our lost Empire, the lost grandeur, the lost glory shall be restored…
as far as I'm concerned, I'm discussing the topic. Studies show that muslims are well below the average in education
ahh the glory days of 1500 years ago...
I'm sure Islam will rise again. Does it have another direction to go? I'm not holding my breath and/or converting anytime soon though.
If this thread continues in this direction, then we need no better example of pure ignorance. Cut it out with the personal insults and provocations. Anyone want to understand this better, PM me. This thread will be closed without warning if someone posts something stupid again.

I seem to recall a saying of jesus..
Though might not be quoted exact..
But something on the order of..
Beatitudes.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Stu
do the studies factor in trhe impact of the educatinal infrastructure of the countries as well? because surely nigeria does not have the same educational facilities as pakistan which does not have the same facilities as US.
and then dpes the study factor in the impact of socio-economic status of the group in society, because poverty has an impact.
because when we start factoring that in, the argument could be made that blacks are intellectuallty inferior, and that whites are intellectually inferior to South Asians, or Chinese. atleast that is what the studies show..unless u normalize the data and factor in other influences.
