  "But the influence     of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.     No stronger retrograde force exists in the world." - Churchill

Islam is self limiting when it comes to technology. They can procure stuff from other nations and educate their affluent in other non-islamic countries to obtain a decent education, but on their own they can never maintain an advanced society.

Note place any bets on that. The Iranians are making a pretty good run at self developed technology that has us fit to be tied. Yeah - they do have a lot of bluster about their military prowess - mostly BS, but their is a kernel of truth to all of it. They have upgraded missile technology, and they have developed a nuclear program while being under an international embargo.
