we really never stop comparing ourself to west? secondly, I dont know if patents is something islamic, it is allah who gave us abbilities which we have to develop in this world. I dont get it why we need wests approval to be smart, educated, good in science, medicine..... Would not be enough if muslim university awards adn promotes him? Or are we not able to do it insufficient way, avoiding greed? it is refreshing to hear that muslims are so excellent, but do include him to western scale of values, seems to me worthless w aslikum assalam
