    Apparently guerilla missed the "countries ruled by islam" rule. I'm looking for positive news about Muslims living in countries ruled by Islam.

    He also missed the "in the last few years" restriction.

    Why is it so hard for people to follow directions? Or is it just hard to find positive things that meet those criteria?

    Ahmed Zewail is a professor at Caltech. Last I checked Caltech is not an Islam ruled country.

    Pennsylvania, also not a country ruled by Islam.

    There are several Muslim Positives posted from Islamic countries. Please feel free to use your highly defined ability to discriminate to disregard the rest.

    Btw, you also posted,
    You've done great with that!

    I plan on making a LOT more posts of positive stuff. Can you please fix the exact number of years for me so that I don't disappoint you further?

    Must be a Muslim accomplishment.
    Must have happened in a country ruled by Islam.
    Must have happened in the last 10 years.
