Every now and then i come across a post where i see that muslim try to put the reason for the failure of ummah on Arabs... as it was arabs duty to make them progress even when they pushed for the other side...
I have been living between them and i can say, yes they have lots of issues and lots of problems and they can improve a lot but
- the money they have is theirs honestly and we are not anyone to dictate them how they should utilize it..
- american is to them as china is to us... remember they did have the oil but they never had the technology to make good use of it.? they didn't have the industry to export it/ship it or make any use of it.. in 1970s they build the first college and educational institutions and now they are producing far more scholars then us and those initiatives were taken with the help of american... so if they give preference (definitely you can argue that they r giving far more preference to them) but american taught them to crawl and then to walk and then to run... so to a little extent the preference they give to american is justified... let see wot we did when we befriended with chinese... we invited them to projects, then when america order us we kick them... if we had acted with chinese the way arabs have acted towards american we would have some respect now in the world.
- another thing to point out is atleast they have managed to make good use of this oil resources for their people... believe me we have more resources than these Arabs but wot we have done..? second largest coal deposits, huge gold deposits a very rich land for agriculture and rivers and variety of weather and land, honestly no matter how much oil they have, but our resources far outweigh them..
lastly for this episode, think wot the people of sub continent have contributed towards Islam in its 1400 years... and wot these arabs have given to islam in these 1400 years... centre of power of the world and religion keep changing... unfortunately after arabs it was our duty to keep the becon of light high and above... but we failed to carry this becon... the contributions of arabs toward religion, fiqah, science, humanity and spread of enlightment is far greater than our contribution... if i look back in the history i see that even at the time of fall of baghdad, subcontinent was strong but didn't try to come and help (the merits of that decission are not being discussed here)... so the support came from Egypt... similarly when we needed help we called Iranian(arabs) to come and help us and they came on the letter not from the highest authority...
I don't know but i feel that we r just not ready to acknowledge their efforts and take the blame which is ours... and when u don't take the blame you don't mend your ways and without this we cannot progress...

Its unfair to criticize Arabs for their repulsive policies and behaviors? Is this your point? (I hope not).
Do you really think its fair to compare America's policies against Islam to that of China?
Is it wrong to bitch about Arabs when their next door muslim neighbours (i.e. Palistanians) are dying of hunger and oil rich Arabs are gambling in the casinos of Las Vegas?
No one is saying that we (Pakistanis) won't be doing the same thing if we had that kind of money. But, in that case it'll be fair to criticize us for such repulsive policies.
You've opened a can of worms. I'll have to post a rebuttal to refute your arguments on my blog.
