Muslims shud stop living on past glories, this is a new world where competition is the name of the game. If muslims continue to put islam or their faith ahead and foremost they will continue to fall in the quagmire. Besides, in ancient times every country has to offer something or the other, india invented zero, china invented calculator, greeks invented cosmology. If muslims are backward today its becoz they are so obsessed with their faith that faith has blinded them. There are 56 muslim countries in the world and they all cry citing the reason of palestine, kashmir, chechenya, serbia and consider the world is trying to get them. If they want to be in the comity of nations they shud put faith within the four corners of their home.
