Most of the Muslims I know go all-out for education. In one large family every one of them has a college degree and many are professionals. In fact, most of the community is like that.

However, they are from Iran, which is more Persian than Arab culture. So maybe the lack of education is not so much a Muslim thing as an Arab thing.

Nope -- if they call themselves Persians they'll be among those Iranis who rejectIslam but are too scared to leave it.
