Hmmm. I'm not sure meaningful conversation is possible here.

An all-powerful god rules islam. Therefore the islamic world has produced nothing of value since its inception. Their all-powerful god created the world, and any attempt to improve it would be blasphemy.

Every Persian rug ever made has deliberate flaws, because only allah can create perfection.

The difference between India and Pakistan, as explained by a friend who spent substantial time in both: In Pakistan if a brick falls out of a wall they shrug, and say it's god's will. In India if a brick falls out of a wall they shrug, and say it's the gods' will. But they put the brick back!

Is that true? That doesn't make much sense (but then again, not much in Islam does.) If only God can create perfection, then the rugs that people make will be flawed whether they intend to make them flawed or not. Besides, if you intend to make an error, then is it really an error?
