Disappointed


I am very disappointed reading the sermon of Saudi Arabia's' Grand Mufti during the Hajj. He has totally failed to highlight the deficiencies of the Muslims throughout the world for which they have remained backward and poor and as a result on the receiving end both in knowledge and all other fields for the last few hundred years since the renaissance in Europe. May I venture to say that liberal education, science, secularism, pluralism, rationality, free thinking and above all humanism are the pillars of success in the modern world.

We cannot think of making any real headway to be at per with the developed countries of the world without promoting these.
