Perhaps Muslims are `stupid and ignorant`, as you say, but I think the situation is even worse: it appears as if Muslims have no ambition to do anything about it.

Your accusation, that `colonialism` is the cause of Muslim backwardness is false. Nobody ever prevented Muslims from developing a philosophy of equality among themselves and tolerance towards others. In the period of the last 3 centuries which you mentioned, the French revolution brought freedom, self-rule and the abolishment of slavery to much of Western world. Why didn`t the Muslims adopt the ideas of the French revolution?

No, it is Muslim false pride and the hunger for individual power, as vividly demonstrated by you right here in this forum, that is keeping your society forever isolated and locked in poverty. For more than a century now, Muslims have agitated against the Jewish community of Israel. What has it brought them? Niente. Zilch. Nada. Zero. Nothing at all.
