Islam lagging behind

Reader comment on item: Muslims "Lagging Behind"

Submitted by steven L (United States), Dec 26, 2006 at 11:59

It would be interesting to compare the qualitatitve and quantitative amount of time spend in school, in mosques (also considered centers of education) and in religious practice.

Like in the social states of the EU, Islam is supposed to provide for nearly everything.

Where no effort is made no reward is to be expected.

At the end you must count on yourself.
