Interesting point about the inferiority complex...I think its very true. For example, In a non-muslim country, celebrities are often sensationalized in the media and when muslims reach the point that they begin to look up to them, then you know that these muslims are suffering from the inferiority complex.

Generally, we will only aspire to be like a person if we perceive their way of life to be better than ours so a good, practising muslim will always look up to Rasulullah as their role model. But any muslim who consciously or unconsciously takes celebrities or the rich as their role model and actually thinks money, beauty e.t.c is the basis of success in the dunya, then they have definitely been brainwashed and deluded by the dunya, but moreover, they are definitely suffering from the inferiority complex.

It may sound far fetched, but I have seen so many people who are virtually OBSESSED with celebrities, its quite sad really. I put it down to the inferiority complex, if they were proud of being Muslim then they would never look up to someone who is so far from the deen of Allah, just like when someone is proud of being bengali, pakistani e.t.c then they're not embarrassed in being openly nationalist.

Having said that, I do think we should have good manners when speaking to muslims and non-muslims alike, but I guess that's another story.

Great post
