All these ideas have been tried for the past century. They haven't worked, nor is there any indication they are going to work. What hasn't been tried is for nations like Pakistan to see Israel for what it is: a nation whose ideals, accomplishments, and moral examples are to be praised, defended, and imitated.Brother, salvation of Islamic nations lies in combination of unity and science and technology.
Imo doing so would re-establish humanist traditions and self- critical thinking in Islamic thought - for these qualities have been largely eliminated from the curriculum for the past seventy years in many Arab countries and Pakistan. They are necessary prerequisites to good democratic governance. Yet it is undeniable that corrupted power elites see these very qualities as threats to their livelihoods, if not their very lives.
