What Went Wrong ? ? ?

In 2005, Dr Farrukh Saleem wrote:

The combined annual GDP of 57 Muslim countries remains under $2 trillion. America, just by herself, produces goods and services worth $10.4 trillion; China $5.7 trillion, Japan $3.5 trillion and Germany $2.1 trillion. Even India’s GDP is estimated at over $3 trillion …Muslims are 22 percent of the world population and produce less than five percent of global GDP. Even more worrying is that the Muslim countries’ GDP is going down over time. The Arabs, it seems, are particularly worse off. According to the UN Arab Development Report: “Half of Arab women cannot read; One in five Arabs live on less than $2 per day…”
At least six of the poorest of the poor are countries with a Muslim majority.
Fifty-seven Muslim majority countries have an average of ten universities each for a total of less than 600 universities for 1.4 billion people; India has 8,407 universities, the U.S. has 5,758. Over the past 105 years, 1.4 billion Muslims have produced eight Nobel Laureates while a mere 14 million Jews have produced 167 Nobel Laureates.
Of the 1.4 billion Muslims 800 million are illiterate (6 out of 10 Muslims cannot read). In Christendom, adult literacy rate stands at 78 percent.
Muslims are poor, illiterate and weak. What went wrong?

More Isam to cure ? ? ?
or get rid of it ? ? ?
