10.3 Adakah Islam Punca Dunia Muslim Itu "Mundur"? Amerika Latin Tidak Bersetuju
10.3 Is Islam The Reason The Muslim World Is “backwards”? Latin America Begs To Differ
Persoalan yang berulang: Mengapa dunia Islam "ketinggalan"?
The perennial question: Why does the Muslim world “lag behind”?
Jawapan yang sentiasa sama: Kerana Islam! Kita menjangkakan analisis sebegini daripada golongan seperti Orientalis, golongan neokonservatif, dan Barack Obama. Malangnya, sesetengah umat Islam turut berkongsi sentimen sebegini. Sejak permulaan zaman penjajahan, umat Islam yang membenci diri sendiri telah bersetuju dengan tuan penjajah mereka bahawa Islam adalah punca masalah dan satu-satunya jalan ke hadapan ialah meninggalkan Islam.
The perennial answer: Because of Islam! We expect this kind of analysis from the likes of Orientalists, neoconservatives, and Barack Obama. But unfortunately, some Muslims also share such sentiments. From the beginning of the colonial period, self-hating Muslims have agreed with their colonial masters that Islam is the problem and the only way forward is to shed Islam.
