World is not blind to the facts. There is a reason Muslims are isolated. It is because of their actions and behaviour in a modern world. In a modern world information travels fast. Internet and media will immediately spread the news about barbaric behaviour. People are not going to change their opinion, unless Islam changes its ways.

These not not Islamic soucres-Look at the leading televsion channel of UK -channel 4 says this in its own website
How Islam has kept us out of the -Dark Ages ....But how many of us have heard of Al-Kindi, Ibn Sina, Al-Razi, Ibn Al-Shatir, Ibn Al-Haytham or Al-Tusi? They are all Muslim scientists who made equally great contributions to science, between the 7th and 15th centuries %u2013 during the era known as the Dark Ages. Until recently, the era has been glossed over by historians who happily leapt from the fall of the Roman Empire straight to the Renaissance. But it-s time for the West to recognize its debt to those Islamic scientists of the past, who forged ahead while Europe stagnated...

LOOK HOW MISLEADING BALAORD IS -
This is what is written in the articles quoted by balaord:
As Islamic civilisation spread further into southern Europe, vast treasuries of long-forgotten knowledge from conquered lands were taken back to cities like Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo and Cordoba where they were translated into Arabic.
This clearly shows that Islamic science was based upon and influenced/translated from earlier works
Let us not then give the credit to Islam alone ! THAT WOULD BE INTELLECTUAL APOSTASY

THIS IS ALSO FROM BALAORD'S ARTICLE:
The concept of zero reached medieval Europe through the Arab nations who had probably learned of it from ancient Hindu and Chinese cultures. Prior to this Europe struggled with a system of Roman numerals, in which large numbers would consist of huge strings of letters. Once zero was incorporated, numbers took on the more manageable decimal system that we use today.
THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE VERY DECIMAL CONCEPT USED FOR SCIENCE WAS FROM HINDU FOUNDATIONS ...
in fact, the works of early indian astronomers use the decimal system for counting !

You may be right in part. Muslims may need to change. But ISLAM cant. Its PERFECT as it is. Islam (not muslims) is having the upper hand today. With the spread and access to information, Islam has only to gain.
