To brainwash the Muslims, the mullahs always say to them that in the entire world, only the contents of the Koran is the pure words of God and the Muslims are lucky to possess the most up to date message of God. But the question remains – Why the Muslims, despite having the pure as well as the latest message of God, are so backward? When my article “Influence of Prophet Muhammad and the Quran on Incest in Muslim Societies” appeared in www.islam-watch.org on 15 Feb, 2009, a reader raised this issue and commented, “If islam is so good , then why Muslims are so bad? Why Muslim countries are so backward and ignorant? Why they spawn, terrorists, pirates, criminals of all hues? Why is Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan ,Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Libya, Ethiopia, Egypt, Syria, etc so backward, violence-prone, oppressive, regressive , devoid of human values, lack of democracy or human rights? Surely these are countries with Muslims, not kafirs?”

“Muslims always are good at pointing fingers at others for all their failures and backwardness, and they are good at only one thing: lying through their teeth unabashedly! You have this so-called; Peace TV, founded by one moron Zakir Naik who drums away tirelessly that "Islam is the solution for all Humanity". That's a big lie. These people are far from solving their own problems but blaming the 'kaffirs' for all their ills, backwardness and ignorance that they have the temerity and arrogance to talk about "solutions for all Humanity." If Islam is eradicated most of the problems of this world will automatically be solved and peace and sanity will be achieved,” he added.

Reader may recall that I have discussed the topic quite elaborately in an earlier article “Muslims: Shackled People Enslaved by the Koran (http://islam-watch.org/Brahmachari/Muslims-Enslaved-by-Koran-Islam.htm). In that article, I have also pointed out that to obtain a plausible reply to these questions a study by a committee of consisting of Arab intellectuals and scholars was appointed by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 2001, and the committee, led by Egyptian scholar Nader Fergani, carried out a year-long investigation and thorough analysis of the reasons of backwardness of the Arab world. The findings of the study, entitled “Arab Human Development Report 2002”, was published in the first week of July, 2002. Most of the authors concluded that, Islam was the ultimate culprit.

To estimate the performance of a country, the UN, for the past 10 or so years, is using the ‘Human Development Index’ (HDI) that includes life expectancy at birth, adult literacy rate, school enrolment as well as per capita income. Another index called ‘Alternative Human Development Index’ (AHDI) is also used that drops the per capita income from HDI, but includes additional factors like freedom of speech and similar fundamental rights enjoyed by the people, use of Internet, emissions of carbon dioxide and so on. In both indices, the Arab countries scored lower than almost all other countries in the world. Most of the authors of the said report commented that lack of personal freedom, freedom of speech, suppression of women were the major causes of the backwardness of the Muslims. In a nutshell, pervasive Islamization of the society has played havoc and is entirely responsible for stifling constructive Arab thought and progress. Though the above study was restricted within the Arab World, its conclusions are applicable to the Muslim community throughout the entire globe.

There are two main reasons that make the Muslims backward. Firstly, the Muslim community is being guided by the social laws ordained by Allah, through the Koran, nearly 1400 years ago. Meanwhile, the human society has immensely advanced during that period, but the Muslims discard all these advancements because all these advancements are based on laws, which are not divine but created by human beings, and hence inferior and unacceptable. So, it can be said that, though the Muslims are physically living in this modern world, mentally they are living in a world that existed 1400 years ago.

Secondly, the Koranic law that guided the Muslims, cannot be up dated. According to the Kalema Tamjid, the fourth Kalema of Islam, Muhammad was the foremost of all the Prophets Allah has so far sent to educate the people of this planet and, at the same time, he was the ultimate Prophet. It is not difficult to comprehend that, even if Allah wants to amend His laws, once He had ordained through the Koran, He will not be able to accomplish His mission for want of Prophets. This aspect of the Islamic doctrine invariably exposes that its God or Allah is horribly running short of wisdom and common sense. Even the kafirs preserve the right to up date their laws through amendment of their Constitutions, but Allah failed to foresee that such amendments of the Koranic laws might be necessary in future. Therefore, it is needless to say that Allah exposed His unlimited idiocy by His decision of not sending Prophets after Muhammad.

The Muslims of India are not outside the domain of Allah and His Koran. So it is natural that they would also be similar victims of Islamic backwardness. The Sachar Committee Report has unveiled the sad story of extreme backwardness among the Muslims of India.
