WAKE UP CALL

For all those who want proof that Muslim world is not just about fanatism here is another brilliant piece of evidence.

EDUCATION ! says the Islamabad-based freelance columnist Dr Farrukh Saleem is what makes all the difference. But you must read the entire article at WHY ARE JEWS SO POWERFUL to get the full import of what makes people stable, secure and prosperous as a race. It also helps us to understand why others who are rapid are so. This analysis is not meant to raise a finger but to assess realisically why some of us likely to be more fanatical, rapid amd militant than others. Why we are insecure at all. It also helps us understand that this battle cannot be fought with grenades. The tools and skills required to rise above our own inadequacies are quite different. Do we all understand that?

In another article WIL MUSLIMS EVER WAKE UP? where Ali Sina quotes Dr Farrukh Saleem from his writings WHAT WENT WRONG?, a powerful introspective piece, the message is clear. This is not the first time a Muslim is speaking up... I hope everyone is listening to these powerful messages:
WE NEED TO PRODUCE KNOWLEDGE, DIFFUSE KNOWLEDGE AND APPLY KNOWLEDGE and that I personally think goes for all of us across the board if we want to prosper and live in peace.

His diagnosis is simple
Diagnosis 1: Muslims are poor, illiterate and weak because they have 'abandoned the divine heritage of Islam'. Prescription: We must return to our real or imagined past.

Diagnosis 2: Muslims are poor, illiterate and weak because we have refused to change with time.

And finally to end he quotes from the AL QURAN (and this by far is the most valid and emphatic statement that we all need to remember always) KEEP PACE WITH TIME

Wow!
