(writeup: tinyurl.com/AZdeco)  This talk explains that the colonized mindset created by Western education is the biggest problem currently facing the Islamic Civilization. We have no good alternatives available. Western education develops a Eurocentric perspective which glorifies achievements of the West, and erases those of other civilizations, including Islam. We need to develop an alternative which teaches skills essential for the modern world, but within a framework compatible with the Islamic worldview. In particular, our education should show that the Quran, the final revelation of God to mankind, is superior to any knowledge which could possibly be created by human beings.
