Well, this is an online article about a project I worked on, mainly it was me who worked the most of it.
It's a computer science project, to make a map based application (users can be from any religion), the app shows your location on the map & the locations of your friends.

Muslims DO contribute to the world today.
If the best I could say of Europe, is that it produced one application on a internet system recently invented outside Europe, and using a function maintained and invented outside of Europe (Google maps), to help deal with the difficulty in navigating around European protests, I'd have to say that Europe was pretty backwards.
Rather more than one small app to deal with locally created problems borrowing the technology of others is required to show Muslims contribute to the world at large.
Well, I thank google for offering their API for usage.
I'm neither a nationalist nor a racist, if I have the chance to be a part of something that will help humans, I'll be.
I won't ask who takes the credit, who's backward or who isn't it.
That's why it's called "open source" ; the thing I did .. it's opening the technology to everyone to learn from it -just like Linux did-.
Don't put people down. Learn to be happy with any achievement others do, even if they were not like you.
Without collaboration & joint efforts, nobody will reach a thing. Thank god the CS community is not yet poisoned .
