Many non-Muslims on many fb forums terribly confuse Islam with the
condition of Muslims in general
They blame Islam for their weaknesses and under development
The facts are different
Malaysia a Muslim country for example there is resurgence of Islam at the same time 55% of the University students there are Muslim women.

Reasons for the underdevelopment in Muslim nations.
The point that people have raised applies not only to about 50 odd
Muslim nations but also to about 150
other poor third world nation. Lack of resources , research, infrastructure. good planning
One reason is colonialism and after the traditional colonialism was buried a new colonialism took
strong roots in 90% of the countries.
I strongly believe in the conspiracy theory on this as discussed by
scholars like Paul Craig and John Perkins
The present political set up satisfies both the dictators, monarchs and
corrupt democracies and the NATO powers.
Washington for instance considers that it is a geographical accident
that Middle East has oil but it is a world resource and Washington has a say in how it
is extracted who does it to who it is sold and what is to be done with the
money earned by selling the raw resources.
Muslims seemed to concentrate on strengthening their Iman (faith) and fighting against the
diseases of the heart such as self-conceit, hypocrisy, enmity, lying. hatred
and so on and ignored to deal with the diseases of the economy and standard of
living but they failed in both and the conspirators won the economic world.
Washington will not allow technological progress and economic
independence by any third world power. Saddam Hussein was trying it and we knew
how his nation was brutally destroyed.
Indonesia a huge poor Muslim country is the best example, Suharto was
the best friend of the US and he made the MIC of the US rich and made the
masses poor, but in nearby Malaysia Mahathir a revolutionary like Venezuelan
leaders swam against the US imperialism and succeeded to a good extent
