balaord, you have missed out my point yet again. The fact is, not only the West, but also the Arabs had colonized many other countries. Why would Indonesia or even Indian Muslims exist otherwise. The fact is, British came in India after Arabs had invaded it, yet they are far ahead in modern science compared to any Arab country. At least, give them credit for being able to continue with their research and not be wholly religious minded (religions carry their own doctrines which will interpreted in ten different ways by ten different people), which is why they are leading the world in the present day order.
