o poor mercenary, I knew you would reply to this topic.. you were just looking for my kind of post. :)
There is no use replying to you, you are hard headed anti-Muslim. You don't like it when Muslims do good. Your an annoyance that will surely pass in history of mankind. InshAllah.
Having grown up with a number of Jews, I can tell you that there is a "culture of success". Every Jewish parent expects their sons (and presumably daughters) to grow up and a have a highly successful life. Every mother wants their son to be a doctor, a lawyer, the head of his own business, or someone of importance. Lots of kids rebel agains this pressure, but it makes for a set of expectations that the child be the best that they are able. No Jewish mother wants to make excuses for their kid.
With that sort of cultural expectation, it is not unusual to see successful people.
Jewish are successful because they are loyal to their faith- they pray, visit Synagogue. If muslims start praying five times, do zakat, hajj etc. then they can be more successful than Jewish ppl. Ideal recipe for success would be to merge all Islamic countries excluding Shia Iran and implement shariah.
There are several reasons, one is: muslims focus on quantity i.e. grow large families and thereby are just struggling for their survival ..... no time for creative work. Also, other social problems cause economic problems and mass public is just busy in problems. Creative work requires 'peace of mind' in addition to hardwork and consistency. Our people are also hardworking and intelligent, but they miss that peace of mind and also a proper direction.
the reason that jews are so sucessful when compared to muslims is that there are only 13 million jews in the world where as there are over 1 billion muslims
for 13 million people to become sucessful is one thing and for 1 billion to become sucessful is quite another
Jews are a very strong community. Infact they have redfined what a community should be like. They dont pull each others legs which is a very common act among ourselves. In their community the success of one is celebrated as the success of all unlike our community where ones success is a cause of somebody elses sorrow.
To be honest I do really envy them sometimes. With us being such a big community one must think we should dominate. Infact the reallity is the complete opposite. The are prosperous cuz they deserve it. One might argue by saying they are cunning or what not. So what? They know how to use their brains wisely for their benifits and there is nothing wrong with that. Humans by nature are selfish and one who disagrees is only living in self denial.
So with this I must say, being such a minute community, they are on top of the world. Hats of to the Jews. May we learn from them and come back to senses.
