Cool, I feel the same. If Islam is so great and it made humans in the past achieve great things why does it not do the same for us? Either we are not good Muslims or we are not doing the right things. I understand that we sometimes need to remember the achievements of our forbears to make ourselves feel good...but we should really get things doing ourselves. Life is short, it can end at any time and we waste much of our time as an ummah doing things that have no benefit at all. We need hot house cultures which raise individuals who are focused, driven and have a vision that transcends petty narrow mindedness. Our conversations in my experience are low level instead of high level inspiring and constructive ones.

Seems like every time I turn around.

I am hearing brothers talk about how the muslims 500 years ago invented this or 1,000 years ago invented that.

You know, the Golden Age of Islam; blah, blah, blah,............yada, yada, yada........

Well that's all fine and dandy.

But I just want to yell at them and say, "What have we done lately"!!
