*Why are Muslims* *so powerless?* There are an estimated 1,476,233,470 Muslims on the face of the planet: one billion in Asia, 400 million in Africa, 44 million in Europe and six million in the Americas . Every fifth human being is a Muslim; for every single Hindu there are two Muslims, for every Buddhist there are twoMuslims and for every Jew there are one hundred Muslims. Ever wondered why Muslims are so powerless? Here is why: There are 57 member-countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and all of them put together have around 500 universities; one university for every three million Muslims. The United States has 5,758 universities and India has 8,407. In 2004, Shanghai Jiao Tong University compiled an Academic Ranking of World Universities’, and intriguingly, not one university from Muslim-majority states was in the top 500. As per data collected by the UNDP, literacy in the Christian world stands at nearly 90 per cent and 15 Christian-majority states have a literacy rate of 100 per cent. A Muslim-majority state, as a sharp contrast, has an average literacy rate of around 40 per cent and there is no Muslim-majority state with a literacy rate of 100 per cent. Some 98 per cent of the literates in the Christian world had completed primary school, while less than 50 per cent of the literates in the Muslim world did the same. Around 40 per cent of the literates in the Christian world attended university while no more than two per cent of the literates in the Muslim world did the same. Muslim-majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims. The US has 4,000 scientists per million and Japan has 5,000 per million. In the entire Arab world, the total number of full-time researchers is 35,000 and there are only 50 technicians per one million Arabs. (In the Christian world there are up to 1,000 technicians per one million). Furthermore, the Muslim world spends 0.2 per cent of its GDP on research and development, while the Christian world spends around five per cent of its GDP. Conclusion: The Muslim world *lacks the capacity* to *produce knowledge*! Daily newspapers per 1,000 people and number of book titles per million are two indicators of whether knowledge is being diffused in a society. In Pakistan , there are 23 daily newspapers per 1,000 Pakistanis while the same ratio in Singapore is 360. In the UK , the number of book titles per million stands at 2,000 while the same in Egypt is 20. Conclusion: The Muslim world *is failing to* *diffuse knowledge.* Exports of high technology products as a percentage of total exports are an important indicator of knowledge application. Pakistan s export of high technology products as a percentage of total exports stands at one per cent. The same for Saudi Arabia is 0.3 per cent; Kuwait , Morocco , and Algeria is all at 0.3 per cent, while Singapore is at 58 per cent. Conclusion: The Muslim world *is failing to* *apply knowledge.* Why are Muslims powerless? .....Because we arent producing knowledge, .....Because we arent diffusing knowledge. .....Because we arent applying knowledge. And, the future belongs to knowledge-based societies. Interestingly, the combined annual GDP of 57 OIC-countries is under $2 trillion. America , just by herself, produces goods and services worth $12 trillion; China $8 trillion, Japan $3.8 trillion and Germany $2.4 trillion (purchasing power parity basis). Oil rich Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar collectively produce goods and services (mostly oil) worth $500 billion; Spain alone produces goods and services worth over $1 trillion, Catholic Poland $489 billion and Buddhist Thailand $545 billion. * ..... (Muslim GDP as a percentage of worlds GDP is fast declining).* So, why are Muslims so powerless?* Answer: **Lack of education**.* All we do is shouting to Allah the whole day!!! And blame everyone else for our multiple failures!!!!! =============================== *Muslims are not happy* *They’re not happy in Gaza * *Theyre not happy in Egypt * *Theyre not happy in Libya * *Theyre not happy in Morocco * *Theyre not happy in Iran * *Theyre not happy in Iraq * *Theyre not happy in Yemen * *Theyre not happy in Afghanistan * *Theyre not happy in Pakistan * *Theyre not happy in Syria * *Theyre not happy in Lebanon * *So, where are they happy?* *Theyre happy in Australia * *Theyre happy in England * *Theyre happy in France * *Theyre happy in Italy * *Theyre happy in Germany * *Theyre happy in Sweden * *Theyre happy in the USA & Canada * *Theyre happy in Norway * *Unfortunately, theyre happy in almost every country that is not Islamic!* *And who do they blame?* *Not Islam...* *Not their leadership...* *Not themselves...* *THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN* *And they want to change the countries theyre happy in,* *to be like the countries they came from,* *where they were unhappy.* *Try to find logic in that!
