Why today's Islamic societies and nations are more anomaly than fitting into the pattern of Islamic commercial societies in history
10/10/2014
Trade and commerce was an essential part of the great Islamic societies in history, giving them a large degree of openness and liberal ideas. This is not always present, but is so to a large extent in long periods of prosperity. For various reasons needing more research, this changed and reverted to less receptiveness to science and technology in the 19th c. and 20th c. , a period when great advances in medicine, industry, transport, were made in Europe and America. Buddhist societies confronted this influence in 19thc and 20th c. with warinness and suspicion, but later changed to open embrace for Japan in 19th c. , S, Korea in 20th c. , China in 21st c. , and India (as Buddhist-Hindu) in 21st c. The potential is for this to change with Indian and Indonesian Muslims acting as a catalyst for Islam swinging back to its usual mode, but can take a few decades to develop.

Teaching Islam’s ‘Forgotten’ Side as Germany Changes
New York Times 01/09/2015
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
