Why Is The Muslim World So Poor? by KillingIsFun: 9:19pm On Dec 22, 2021
The combined annual wealth (GDP) of all the 57 Muslim countries in the world remains under $2 trillion.

Meanwhile, America alone 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 (purchasing power parity basis).

Oil rich Saudi Arabia , U.A.E., Kuwait and Qatar collectively produce goods and services (mostly oil) worth $430 billion;

Netherlands alone has a higher annual GDP while Buddhist Thailand produces goods and services worth $429 billion.

Muslims are 22 percent of the world population and produce less than five percent of global GDP or wealth.

Even more worrying is that the Muslim countries' GDP as a percent of the global GDP is going down over time. The Arabs, it seems, are particularly worse off.

According to the United Nations' Arab Development Report:

"Half of Arab women cannot read; One in five Arabs live on less than $2 per day; Only 1 percent of the Arab population has a personal computer, and only half of 1 percent use the Internet; Fifteen percent of the Arab workforce is unemployed, and this number has doubled since 2010; The average growth rate of the per capita income during the preceding 20 years in the Arab world was only one-half of 1 percent per annum, worse than anywhere but sub-Saharan Africa."

The planet's poorest countries include Ethiopia , Sierra Leone , Afghanistan , Cambodia , Somalia , Nigeria , Pakistan and Mozambique . At least six of the poorest of the poor are countries with a Muslim majority.

Conclusion:

Muslims of the world are among the poorest of the poor.

All the Fifty-seven Muslim majority countries in the world have an average of ten universities each or a total of less than 600 universities for 1.4 billion people;

Meanwhile, India which is not a Muslim country has 8,407 universities, the U.S. has 5,758.

From within 1.4 billion Muslims Abdus Salam and Ahmed Zewail are the only two Muslim men who won a Nobel Prize in physics and chemistry (Salam pursued his scientific work in Italy and the UK , Zewail at California Institute of Technology).

Dr Salam in his home country is not even considered a Muslim.

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 in the world, less than 300,000 qualify as 'scientists', and that converts to a ratio of 230 scientists per one million Muslims.

The United States of America has 1.1 million scientists (4,099 per million); Japan has 700,000 (5,095 per million).

Fact: Of the 1.4 billion Muslims 800 million are illiterate (6 out of 10 Muslims cannot read). Among Christians, adult literacy rate stands at 78 percent. Consider, for instance, that Muslims constitute 22 percent of world population with a 1 percent share of Nobel Prizes.

Jews constitute 0.23 percent of world population with a 22 percent share of Nobel Prizes.

What really went wrong? Muslims are poor, illiterate and weak. What went wrong? Arriving at the right diagnosis is extremely critical because the cure for this crippling poverty depends on it.

The Islamic Country Economy can't be compared to the likes of US or China, but the Islamic countries wey dey stable, their citizens dey enjoy life to the fullest.

More Saudi Arabia citizens live a better life than more American citizens.

Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, etc if you go som of dz country, you will wish to be one of them.

If not for NATO, Libya was a very very good country to live in.

Dubai Muslims and the Arabia peninsula Muslims only represent a small portion of the muslim population. I will even throw in Turkey


However, 70% of muslims found in war turn countries or third world countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, Afganistan, Somalia, Yemen etc are generally poor

You will pretend that you did not see this part of the article which shows that America alone is wealthier than all the 57 Muslim countries in the world put together grin

What about northern Nigeria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, niger, Somalia,Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan. Etc

indonesia has higher GDP per capita than iran , Kasakhstan is almost as rich as china , nigeria is richer than India, iraq is as rich as southeast europe, with almost half income as an average chinese. they poor ?

the world wide muslim have 1.8 billion population. if deducted the african muslim and subcontinent muslim, the rest 1 billion are way richer than southeast asia , and light years ahead of india . they are neck and neck with the latino america.

north africa is the travel hotspot for european, arab is oil land, asian muslim are a small version of china(in terms of industry), middle asian (stans) is hegemony of russia, southeast europe including turkey, is surely not poor.


who are the poor muslim ? those in india , pakistan , bangladesh and subsahara africa

Check manhour spent on praying five times a day. Many employers don't employ Muslims outside Islamic countries when they remember that the fellow will leave his workplace to observe his prayers five times a day outside the whole of Friday.

The Dubai you na dey talk say them dey rich, go there you will see that their citizens are suffering. The rich people are the monarchs.
It is just a few area in Dubai that is developed and again it is the state of Dubai that is only the reasonable state there.
Re: Why Is The Muslim World So Poor? by Parisian: 5:17am On Dec 23, 2021
It's like you don't have sense.

I have lived in Dubai and I have visited all the emirates except Rasa Khaimah (don't mind my spelling) and all the emirates are very much considerably developed.

Even Abu Dhabi is much more developed than Dubai I hope you know that.

Al Ain is a beauty to behold, or is it Sharjah that you want to tell me is underdeveloped? Mumu. Ajman sef is trying.

Also, those poor people you see in UAE are NOT emiratis, they are Indians, Pakistanis, Afghans etc who are migrant workers. Receive sense.

Also ,the op is 200% right... UAE, Saudi and Oman may be rich but the global muslim population is poor.

Know this, know peace.
