The Islamic World
The most terrible incident now going on is of course the civil war in Syria.
Abraham traveled around Syria or specifically Damascus, according to an old record. And human beings are still making terrible acts of strife among themselves without enough respect for and awe of God.
From North Africa to Palestine and Syria and further to Mesopotamia and the Iranian highlands toward Afghanistan and Pakistan, no great economies look like emerging. It is as though the Allah or the God forbade Muslims living in the regions to adopt and develop modern science, technology, and business mostly devised in Europe and America, namely by Christians.
If Islam is the last region, which seems true to some degree, the state in the Islamic world must suggest the last and required state of human society in large. There should not be prosperity backed by science, technology, and business mostly devised in Europe and America, namely by Christians.
Maybe, Muslims are right living in the society largely governed or strongly influenced by the religion Islam. It is because we can interpret the situation of those Islamic regions as they have been protecting their spirits from violent invasion by the modern Western civilization rooted in traditions of Christianity. Not to accept the modern material civilization means a kind of victory for Muslims against Christians and Judaists, though prosperity of Dubai can be regarded as betraying this great cause.
Put simply, more people enter Heaven and are welcomed by holy spirits after death in the Islamic world than in Europe, Indian, China, Japan, and America, since Muslims are more faithful to their religion (the last religion for mankind) than other peoples with various religions in those areas and countries featuring great economy.
May the Allah or the God more bless Syrians and other Muslims in 2013!
