I've never understood why the Muslim world refuses to become a part of the global community. If they would focus on building their societies, culture, industry, education and trade...they would benefit 10 fold from where they are now.

Unfortunately, they seem more obsessed with finding someone to blame for their lack of advancement.

It's truly amazing what is happening in Dubai and so unfortunate that it's such a small part of the Muslim world.
