Embrace ignorance
I would like to dispute that.
From the Koran and the Bukhari (sayings of the Holy Prophet SAW):
Can the ignorant ever be equal to the knowledgeable?
Seek knowledge even if you have to travel to China (this was back when transport was difficult and from Egypt to China it took many months)
And Allah makes high in rank those who are faithful and those who gain knowledge.
If a student dies while seeking knowledge, he is a martyr.
Knowledge is light.
Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.
Education is compulsory for every Muslim man and woman.
Aside from that, the first revealed word of the Koran was 'read' and Hazrat Muhammad SAW raised the degree of learning higher than prayer.
So no, not ignorance. Muslims were the leading scientists back some centuries:
Ibn-ul-Haethm.
Yaqoob Al-kundi.
Dr Abdus Salam (recent).
Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan (recent).
Jabir bin Hayan (father of chemistry, he called)
Alchemy, Aqua Regia, sulphuric acid and nitric acid are the discoveries of Muslim scientists.
So, in these ways, religion isn't about ignorance, as in flicking science away.
