Unless we become a nation and an ummah that is logical, rational and scientific in its approach to islam and life in real world, I am afraid things will remain this way.
Real ignorance is not only about islam but the very basics of life.
Only ignorant people believe in and follow superstition.
Our ignorant mullahs are spreading their ignorance as islam and therefore the general public follows these sort of things.
So long as we do not let speak the people who can really guide us this is the way things will keep going.
Muslims are such a people who believe in miracles and magic in wrong sense and as result people seek magical solution to their problems because that is what they think islam is all about.
Islam is all about real solutions to real problem and this is purpose of divine revelations according to the quran.
The prophet established a social state and brought about a cultural shift in peoples' mindset and attitudes to do so and then put in place divine political and economic systems and thus he solved their problems.
He never told anyone to go to magicians to get their problems solved by magic.
False ahadith like magic worked on prophet and satanic verses and prophet's marriage to a six year old etc etc have been taken as islam and the islam in the quran has been by passed.
It is time we go back to the quran and search it and explore it to se how it helps us see the problems and solve them.
People go to con men because of their worldly problems and their problems are real yet they do not look for real solutions, how can a human being be so stupid?
All the prophets came to shift people from wrong ideas about angels, demons and magic etc. They proved to people by evidence that these beliefs are nonsense.
Yet jews, christians and muslims have turned those teachings on their head back into kinds of beliefs of days of ignorance.
