Quote:They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allah's Light (with which Muhammad SAW has been sent - Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kafiroon (disbelievers) hate (it). (Surah at-Tawbah, Ayah 32)i realy would check deeper on that surah. my guess would be that Allah is talking about a certain people in a certain event...i'll look into that when i have more time.
why i think so? well because if the verse is to be taken alone in that context, then it realy contradicts the other verses I gave.
Quote:You said they are the \"most developed nations in the world\", in what ways are they 'most developed'? Please tell me.oh great. so now your telling me that you believe the arab world is more developed from the west? pride in excess could be foolishness you know.
well to answer your question, the west is more developed in <b>almost</b> every aspect of life. they are more developed in technology and science, they have MUCH better welfare (in its economic defenition), human value is worth more in their lands. and dont argue about human value, i have an uncle in prison in syria for the last 20+ years, we dont even know if he is alive or dead. him and thousands of people like him have disapeared under Hafiz Al-Assad's rule. his son is not much better. and i hear that that problem is not only in syria, but in alot of other arab countries.
if these things happen in the west, then for sure they are VERY rare. do you know about the riots in syria against the US last year? well my aunt was in it. you know what she said? the whole thing was planned by the government. heck, riots in syria? impossible if the government havent planned it, or else all the rioters would disapear. we are like sheeps herded by the governments there. not even humans.
where are you from? did you ever go to the west?
