By contrast, Muslims fatally weakened their ability to defend themselves by neglecting, even rejecting, the study of allegedly secular science and mathematics, and this myopia remains a fundamental source of the oppression suffered by Muslims today. Many Muslims still condemn the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kamal, because he tried to modernize his country.
与此相反，穆斯林忽视、甚至排斥所谓世俗科学和数学的研究，从而严重削弱了自卫的能力，并且这种短视的行为至今仍是穆斯林受到压迫的根本缘由。许多穆斯林还在谴责现代土耳其的奠基人穆斯塔法·凯末尔，因为他曾尝试使他的国家现代化。但是如果没有凯末尔，土耳其今天还会是穆斯林的吗？穆斯塔法·凯末尔的敏锐眼光拯救了土耳其的伊斯兰教，也为伊斯兰教拯救了土耳其。
