Dr Pipes:

You write "With few exceptions – such as Muslims in the United States – the pattern of Muslim backwardness is nearly universal. ".

Is that true or is it that they are slightly better than some other segments of our society? The way the situation is developing in US, muslims are gojng backward in US and may join the poorest segments of our society. Most of them prefer emphasizing islamic dress over studying Physics, Math and Chemistry, and even English.
