..."please embrace islam to be successful in this world as well in the next world"

Wrong, Shams. The only thing Islam is "successful" at is failure, as Winston Churchill observed.

Islamic countries are all backward, and everywhere that Islam goes it turns beautiful productive places into non-productive wastelands. Islam doesn't encourage success in this world at all. And the only way one is told he can be "successful" in the next world, is for him to be a "martyr" in this one; and the more destruction he causes here, the more bountiful his reward will be there. The tragedy is that so many desperate fools believe that.

As soon as you believe the next world is more important than this one, you are a terrorist. And that goes double for someone who believes that the more damage he does to this one, the more he is "rewarded" in heaven. But the fact is that the only reward we receive in the next world is to see the effects of whatever good we did in this one. So, I guarantee that if you damage this world, your "reward" in the next will NOT be a pleasant experience.

Bottom line: The truth is that Islam gives it's practitioners the worst of both worlds, but by the time they find out they have been deceived, it's too late.
