Yes I'm muslim but I'm also a realist. Truth is religion often times = poverty we see the proof today. Truth is also religion halts progress. I just believe in keeping faith individual but also being realistic when speaking about socioeconomic issues that faces Somalis as well as the Muslim world. The west are not superior to us, we're all humans but sometimes we have to question why are they able to progress, be innovative and overall live in peaceful societies.
I can't remember who it was, but a Prophet once made a dua, asking Allah SW to make every Muslim nation rich. Look at every Muslim country, even the tiniest country Brunei is packed with oil. We have the resources that keep this world going, and the moment we shut it, (when Saudi cut oil to Europe) war happens. So know that, Muslim countries keep this world running, but we are struck by corruption and if we followed the Quran word by word, then Muslim countries would be one of the developed countries in the World. There's another Hadith
@Barni,
@JohnDoe, stating if a Non-Muslim does something good their reward is in This Life, and when a Muslim does something good their reward is in the After Life. Hence why, Non-Muslim countries look much more developed then Muslim countries.
