Still Tied up in Knots by the Past, Muhammed?

Exactly, times do indeed change, and true to form you speak of the past when referring to the West, yet in real life you people are living the past while wearing threads from a rather distant and ugly period, still living in the abysmal conditions of you own countries, still running from those conditions to the West they despise but have no trouble begging from once they arrive. You believe Islam has spiritual, moral, ethics, compassion and generousity assets to help the West? Then why do you as an individual not work to have these ideas enforced in your own world of Islam? Why do you not tackle your own world of corruption instead of the constant and hysterical finger pointing at those who give to support your failing societies? You have nothing to offer us, you haven't had anything much to offer the world for a very long time other than violence and misery. Start to treat your own people decently instead of using them as fodder for a religion that behaves at best, in an insane manner, then come and talk reality to me.
