You are talking about muslims as if they are handful of pagans like you which DO NOT have any say on the world scenario.Muslims are the second largest majority of this world. There are many muslim countries which if decide can make large economies to kneel down. Education for every community is necessary not only muslims and above all there is no in-equality or untouchibility practiced by muslims as some faiths do until today.A muslim and a non-muslim can be equals in other aspects of life..but in religion it cannot be....and it is not at all strange other faiths do treat each other similarly.Islam has always prevailed muslims get educated or not is just a secondary question.
