UNDER DEVELOPMENT OF MUSLIMS

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
