Muslims the least educated in the world?

outhouse

Atheistically
here is from a pro Islamic website


Islam, and Humanity: Lack of education

There are around 500 Universities spread in these 57 member Muslim States compared to that of United States which has over 7,000 higher education Institutions with 103 US universities in the top 200 rankings

Israel has a literacy rate of 98.5% for men and 95.9% for women as compared to the Muslim-majority states having an average literacy rate of around 40 per cent.


The Muslim world certainly has done all the wrong things “perfectly” to give least priority to the development of sound educational infrastructures. The point which somehow seems to have been forgotten is that the threat to our survival and the real enemy among us is the educational ignorance & backwardness creeping into our society and destroying it systematically.

Why is the question?????????????????????????????????????????

let's suppose that it's true ,

What is the rule of Islam to low level of education ?

Quran encourage the education , if some muslims don't educate that's mean they don't follow their religion .

there is many factures you avoid to talk about them , i don't know why ?!!!

the poverity : most of muslims are poor , the colonisation : most of countries just independent from GB, or France ..etc , civil wars ...etc

and the developped countries did not give their experience (science) to muslims world., i don't know the word in english , maybe it's " Monopoly the science "

"

I don't know, it is why Im asking


I don't think it is a monopoly of science as much as, corrupt governments keeping their people in poverty.

But that is only one possible aspect that has some truth for some places.


What tie does islam have in all this? because in some rich areas some muslims are still lacking.

Doesn't change the fact they are the least educated.

Don't you want to fix the problem?

Did i said we had good education ?
i am glad that you fixed your problem by start using pro-islam ,instead of anti-islam sources :)

as a simple solution for my opinion , when civil wars end ,and get less poverity , and import the pure science from the developpped countries

the muslims should follow perfectlly their religion , which ask them to educate .

seems non-muslims are followed Islam teaching , not muslims in this way :rolleyes:

I like your new way of chat .

Yes governments corrupt and the occupation for years , and monopoly of science from the west and some other countries ,and civil wars ,these ALL factures had big rule in least education in muslim world , and principal one muslims did not practice the order of their religion " READ" ....etc.

for rich areas , the corruption and monoply of science (pure technology) by the west .

honestly
the West , and other countries want from the muslims stay least education mode, to expert it's tech goods ,like PC, Mobiles, Cars ...etc .



seriously why you keep cut my relpies ?

That's quite possible. It could be possible that women do not even count in any statistic....because they are viewed by some as properties or subhumans, only there for the pleasure of men and doing house chores.

the real impact is :
you are wrong Islam never forbiding women to learn :)

because some muslims ban their women from learning, does not mean that's Islam teaching .

Hi Godobeyer, I agree that there are many factors.

But you should understand that for modern educators "memorizing the Quran" is a very weak approach to education. Trying to learn science from the Quran is also a very weak approach to education.

So even if all the poverty was fixed, traditional Muslim educational approaches are not strong. But also understand that modern education is better than ANY education used to be. So perhaps 1400 years ago "memorizing scripture" was the best education that anyone could get - at the time, perhaps it was "state of the art education".

But for the last 1400 years non-Muslim educators having been studying their craft and improving and learning more about learning and so on. Any teacher who claims that memorizing scripture is "good education" is just out of date. Maybe, a long time ago, it was good, it's now known to be very, very inefficient.

So what you are saying is that most muslims refuse to follow Koran?

And only follow when they feel like it?

No it is from books. Cries of anti-Islam are valid if I was siting a wiki like others do here. I am not.

You could read the few sources we have left of his book as well. It is split up into 3.

Heya...

I posted a link or two earlier in this thread which addresses this in great detail.
The UN keeps statistics very specifically on gender inclusion at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, and it's a measure they use in judging countries progressiveness.

Check back in the thread for the link, you might find it interesting. Women outnumber men in Australia at all levels (purely from memory) so I suppose this is proof that men are now repressed...or women are smarter...or that there are simply more women than men...

;)

These photos are from Islamic and Arab countries, but the correct Islamic law not applicable
Islam is in the pictures are not from Saudi Arabia
In the era of Saddam Hussein and Abdel Nasser this image was correct but today with Sharia become heritage
Islam does not recognize any accessories to the women and do not recognize any human value to them
Opps I speak of Islamic thought

Yes women can't walk naked in Saudi Arabia and adultery isn't allowed, yes i know this is annoying for men who want women to be available as prostitutes and staring at them as sex objects, but education for women aren't forbidden and you know that the wife of the prophet was a leader of one battle and women worked as nurses in the battle field.
