Seems the tables are turning and America's rapid development is being halted and other nations are being given a chance to catch up

Lets hope the muslim lands capitalise on this combined with the western economic problems, in order to rapdily develop and unite inshAllah and become powerful enough that nations will stop interfering, pillaging, invading and bombing our lands inshAllah t'ala. We need rapid development inshAllah in this critical window of opportunity

The critical term is rapidly ! You need to understand the natural life cycle of a civilization and identify the phase in which your nation is currently residing . Check this.

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequences:

1. from bondage to spiritual faith;

2. from spiritual faith to great courage;

3. from courage to liberty;

4. from liberty to abundance;

5. from abundance to complacency;

6. from complacency to apathy;

7. from apathy to dependence;

8. from dependence back into bondage.”

I’ve always been fascinated by history, and the first time I heard about this cycle was the classic “lightbulb” moment. It applies to every great empire and civilization: China, Persia, Greece, Rome, Britain, and now the American empire. Some of you may balk at my referring to the American “empire”, but that’s another discussion entirely in itself. The thing that gets me about this cycle, is just how deeply apathetic we, in the west, have become.

Actually, it’s not even the apathy that really bothers me. It’s the ignorance. The people who think and act like all the troubles in the world right now are happening for the very first time. Sure the characters might be different this time around, but it’s still the same story. But even worse than that is the arrogance. The people, and particularly some of our leaders, who know that it’s all happened before, yet continue to make the same mistakes and think that this time they can “beat the system”. What’s that definition of insanity again? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

There’s no stopping this bus from going over the cliff, but it sure would be nice to know that at least one or two other passengers noticed that the cliff was coming.
