Keeping whole populations uneducated (or allowing only particular kinds of education) is how you control them.
It’s easy to lead people who have no ability or inclination to doubt or challenge what you say.
Ignorant populations and rigorously indoctrinated populations ARE the tools of any fanaticism that comes along.
It always puzzled me that Turkey provided a top-notch college education to its people. The students I taught at the college level were fully on a par with the students I taught in the US. My fellow faculty members had all received their PhDs in either European or American universities.They too were on a par with American faculty that I worked with.
The reason it was a puzzle is that science and engineering are in direct conflict with Islam. To a Christian, we live in a rational universe created by a rational God, who established the laws by which the universe operates. The universe is full of "secondary" causes. As an example, if you bring a lighted match up to a piece of paper, the flame causes the paper to burn. To a Muslim, however, the paper burns because Allah caused it to burn. In a Muslim universe, there are no "secondary causes." Everything happens through the direct intervention of Allah.
Christians believe that God sustains the universe in its integrity. Muslims believe that Allah recreates the universe at every instant. Something could be a tree at one instant and a rock at the next. To hold that the universe has its own integrity is to limit the power of Allah.
Ultimately, I think, teaching science and engineering to Muslim students will subvert Islam.
