O.K lets analyze...What happened to the Muslim military tradition? Muslim militaries were once the strongest in the world....even Crusaders (Western Militaries) were no match to the Muslim Forces...Even at Antioch (1st Crusade),Yaghi-Siyan almost annihilated the large Crusader Army until one of his own soldier turn out to be a traitor and opened the gate which allowed the crusaders to take the city.Till,mid 16th/17th century,Ottoman Empire was the strongest military power in the world...But then after 1800s etc,it all vanished.
What happened? Muslim World has shown almost NO talents in modern (complex) warfare.Arab wars with Israel were more than disastrous.Lack of modern training and inability to deploy modern weapons were clear from Arab side...Arab artillery once even bombed its own advancing infantry (as they lack basic mathematical skills) ..Pakistan,as compared to Arabs,performed exceptionally well (against India).
Today,we can not see any modern military in Muslim World..The advantage of the WEST is overwhelming.No Muslim military can face any good Western military in pure conventional mode..
So what happened? Where did we went wrong? Is there any hope of comeback (Not necessarily a fight but atleast a credible deterrence against Western Militaries)? Paradox is that we cannot fight/Deter Western Militaries without using Western Military technology ...So what is the practical way forward?
