At the level of ideas there is no system of thought and belief-secular
or religious, social or political-which could surpass or equal ISLAAM-
the system which Muhammad peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon
him propounded. In a fast changing world, while other systems have
undergone profound transformations, Islaam alone has remained above all
change and mutation, and retained its original form for the past 1400
years. What is more, the positive changes that are taking place in the
world of human thought and behavior, truly and consistently reflect the
healthy influence of Islam in these areas.

It's this lack of "change and mutation" that keeps Muslim women in the
Burkha (despite the Koran only telling them to dress modestly I believe.
Funny how the men never have to wear anything like that...) It's also
why Islam has gone from spreading science and literature, as it did in
the middle ages, to blowing up innocent women and children (against the
teachings of the Koran, I might add!)
