O Muslims...must our minds be held captive after 1,400 years?"



In a July 21, 2019 show on ANB TV (Iraq), Iraqi TV host Mahdi Jassem read a text from the late Syrian poet Muhammad Al-Maghut. The text was highly critical of Islam and Islamic scholars, and it questioned why Muslims are still expected to behave in the exact same way the progenitors of Islam behaved 1,400 years ago. Jassem read:


"After 1,400 years of cursing the Jews and the Christians, [Muslims] are the ones left with no unity [and] it is only Muslim women who have been enslaved… Oh nation in slumber, the people you curse [have gone to] the Moon [and] split the atom… Meanwhile, for you, the only thing on the rise is your genitalia." The text continued to criticize Muslims for studying outlandish things such as sexual Jihad, incest, breastfeeding of grown men, having "farewell sex" with one's deceased wife, and how to properly have sex with animals. The text went on: "Don't our minds have the right to be influenced by the knowledge, science, and technology that surround us? Must our minds be held captive after 1,400 years?"

There was no greater age in the history of the world and since, than the golden age of islam ie of islamic science than the one in baghdad between 800ad till 1100ad.


Algebra, algorithms (generative artificial intelligence today use both) are arabic words and so does arabic numbers. Those are arabic numerals. Maths took great leaps and bounds, agriculture, engineering, medicine, navigation, starmaps were made to assist navigation and astrolades were crafted (see the attach photos. Can see it at our national planetarium at lake gardens). Not all stars have names.The ones that do, two third of it have Arabic names.


So what happened? Why did muslims become weak today..why is it theres 100 plus jew nobel laurettes and less…
