Re: Who should Muslims learn from?
[QUOTE]
I believe it has never ever been attempted since the time of holy Prophet PBUH..,
[/QUOTE]
That is because of all the mythology surrounding that time period.

Therefore in this 1200 period there was never a movement that strived for reviving Islam as a system of life..., only muslims rulers striving for the advancement of their own self interest
[/QUOTE]
Self-interest, huh? Do you think your "pious caliphs" just happened to invade non-stop until their state stretched from Pakistan to Egypt when Ali died? Was it for sport or imperial gains, i.e. wanting to rule as much land as possible like almost every emperor has?
The Muslim world/OIC is in decline because it has failed to change with the times. The problem the OIC 57 face is that Islam itself is a big reason for this. It is such a rigid religion that it does not allow the societal and cultural flexibility required to rapidly adjust to changing times like other religions do. Only Muslims, as I said earlier, are calling for laws of 1,200 years ago to be revived.

when the first time this system was established it did not attempt to still the process of technological progress & advancement of knowledge.., infact Islam was the impetus that enabled the world to escape the dark ages.
[/QUOTE]
That was centuries ago. The world evolved, the OIC lands did not. You can go back to the 7th century but it is a myth that you can have 7th century laws, culture, etc. and 21st century results. If you want to live in the 7th century, fine, but then do not complain about being "behind" the rest of the world because you refuse to adapt.

Virtuous societies allow slavery?

most of us dont actually believe..., most of us in character are lower then the worst of the infidels.

This is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Only Muslims so casually use the slur "infidel" in the 21st century. This is one key difference between the OIC and successful countries. Just look at the wicked Punjab government sponsored conference that took place this week! The world and time have passed ancient Urbi values by and religious bigotry is one of those archaic values.

no other reformer in the history of mankind before or after our Holy prophet managed to transform a society in every facet of life.
[/QUOTE]
That is hype and is transformation inherently great? It implies dictatorial powers on the part of someone who can make such changes.
What you say is the common Islamist view. The problem is it is based on mythology and nostalgia.
