Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh to Muslim
& Good day to Other
Islam alone won't achieve anything. In general the more "muslim" a country the more backward it is and hence the more vulnerable it is to non-muslim manipulation. In the case of Afghanistan 200 years of being invaded and occupied by the non-believers.
Islamic world has millions of preaching imams, very few scientists.
If there is one thing Muslims should learn from islamic history is how important science and wisdom was to her initial rise. When the Ottomans fell though many reasons exist, the most potent was the inability to keep up with the western worlds scientific developments.
