Muslims are Stupid and Uncivilized

What do you think when you read the title at the first time? angry? wroth? calm down buddy, please take a cup of hot tea first, and just enjoy and read keenly what i really want to share with you exactly.

I often heard non-muslim people, foreigners especially, talking about Islam, and as a muslim I am not really happy because the topics that they talked about mostly were just the negative ones and they really got it wrong actually. But if I have to be objective, we as muslim people can not simply blame on them because we created their negative judgement by ourselves. Let me ask you, can you name a muslim scientist who invents something big lately? where is in this earth we can see riot easily, Europe? North America? or in Middle East, the place that most of muslim countries exist? what nations in this world which to be listed in the top ten developed countries, is there any single muslim country on that list? I was born and grew up in Indonesia, the country with the largest muslim people around the world, and let me tell you how do they live in their daily lives.

Islam as the largest religion in Indonesia takes a dominant role in our lives. For example, we get more than a week of holiday if idul fitri comes, much more than any other religions feast, every single TV station in this country has to take a break and broadcast adzan when maghrib time comes to tell everybody to leave their activities for a while and pray to God. We get enough education of Islam in school, the teachers teach us to do only good things and leave behind every single things that God doesn't want us to do. A muslim has to pray five times a day, from the dawn that sun just came out from east, till the night before we take a sleep after doing so many things during daytime. With shalat, Islam always reminds us to do only good things, and prohibits us to commit any sins. But if Islam teaches us that good, how come most of us are still far away from ideal life as non-muslims in western world have? the wrong things is in ourselves, not in our religion. Islam is a perfect religion in my own opinion especially, islam loves discipline, hardworking, peace, tolerance, and every other good things. let me quote some verses from holy koran and hadith :

"Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. "(60:8) 

"whoever fights against kafir dzimmi, i will be their foe in the judgement day" (narrated by muslim)

kafir dzimmi refers to non-muslims who don't have hatred with muslim, Islam is really tolerant with non-muslims actually, but today, stupid muslims love show off, defend our religion arrogantly with attacking people that we consider to be the ones who don't give any respect to Islam. Also, Just for your information, when European people were still in the dark ages, muslims had lived in highly developed economy instead, they always did zakat every year but hardly to shared it because they didn't find poor people easily just like we do nowadays, it proves that if we really obey and do what our religion teach to us correctly, we should not live in this pathetic condition anyway. 

To be honest, only few of us do what Islam teaches us to do, most of us are rubbish nowadays, we want to be respected but have no respect to other people, we promise with saying Insha Allah but don't fulfill it purposely, always late in every occasions because it already becomes our habit. How did a country such as New Zealand could be one of the most developed county in the world anyway? because they do what Islam teaches us muslim people to do, they do love discipline, they do love hardworking, peace, tolerance, and also, they hate late, there is no tolerance with people who come late in purpose. Today muslim people, especially in Indonesia are Stupid, we are lazy and uncivilized, come late to the office or school is a common thing, if you have an appoinment with us, don't come on time because we hate come on time. Why did i say we are uncivilized people? because we love using religion to be our excuse, read the holy koran in the midnight with noisy speaker without thinking our non-muslim neighbours will be feeling bothered or not, we are still busy for debating is a woman good enough to riding a motorcycle straddle when NASA at almost the same time has succsesfully landed The Curiosity in Mars to explore this planet if it livable or not, Islam is not stupid but muslim people nowadays are, we are stupid and uncivilized and we should change it, don't be rubbish.
