You are right brother, Muslims have produced a lot of big names in the history. There were great scientists who invented lot of things. But where are they now. What is our contribution to the present scientific advancement. I think Hassan Nisar is a bit harsh, otherwise he is just trying to open our eyes. We can't, as a nation, live in nostalgia and keep telling ourselves that our forefathers were great. We should, rather, wake up and open our eyes to the reality of this world. Muslims are way behind the west at the moment, we are using their technologies, we don't have a single university like Harvard or Stanford in the entire Muslim world. Apparently we don't have any contribution to the modern science. Our rulers in the middle east, instead of building research institutes and universities, are asking westerners to build seven star hotels and man made islands for them. They feel pride in driving the Gold plated cars rather than educating Muslim world and eradicating poverty.
I know these facts are really harsh but I think this is the wake up call. We should get out of that thought that, "Muslims were great". We should ask ourselves that, "What we are now?"
P.S: I here want to mention that I am NOT a Qadiyani or any other sort of non-Muslim. I know some stereotypes on this forum have a habit of labeling people Qadiyani, who dare to differ their staunch molvi type thinking.
