Look on the bright side! The average muslim may be uneducated and dirt poor, but he probably is much better at making an IED, or a bomb jacket than your average Indian, or westerner.
Also: rejection of the Gold Standard.
I've been saying for years that the only things mooselims have invented were hummus and terror. Not sure they invented hummus, it might have been a Jewish "invention".
They are "stuck on stupid"...that's why they aren't productive or inventive.
Islam spread across the world and conquered several distinct gene pools. But the core of Islam is Arabia and the Arabs are Semites. They share common ancestry with the Jewish people who are also Semites.
The Jews have produced the greatest number of Nobel Prize winners in proportion to their population of any ethnic group. The Arabs have produced perhaps the least. Given the common ancestry, I would say it was cultural rather than genetic.
Because strapping on an explosive belt and blowing up a bunch of their own bretheren is their self-appointed purpose in life.
Because they rape their cousins.
Well, they've been marrying their first cousins for a couple thousand years.
Wow, and these underacheivers were still able to destroy the lives of thousands and destroy a major NYC landmark.
Imagine what they could do if they applied themselves.
These people are dangerous, and we should not underestimate them.
Yeah, that's why China and India are such hellholes. [ /SARCASM ]
Should not be a surprise that people who want to bomb the earth back into the 12th Century have not made much progress beyond that timeframe.
One well placed nuke might do a world of good - it worked well with Japan.
One of their biggest problems is they believe that borrowing money is a sin. Therefore it's hard for them to build businesses, or acquire land and property.
George Patton in "War As I Knew It" is quite succinct. A quote . "One cannot but ponder the question: What if the Arabs had been Christians? To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing. Here, I think, is a text for some eloquent sermon on the virtues of Christianity."
Also, getting on your knees with ass in the air 5 times a day tends to break your train of thought.
First, they are to be occupied taking over the world spreading islam, the spoils of war are to be theirs, does not account for a great working ethic when you are to steal and murder for a living.
Second, their nations are to be blessed by riches because they are good muslims God will show the world how blessed by him by they are by their riches. (this is one of the reasons they hate the Christian west so much, we are not suppose to be richer than them because we are infidels God should not be blessing us according to the koran).
Third, women are nothing but slaves and keeping them uneducated is only one of the ways to keeping power over them, besides why educate them when they have only one third the thinking ability of men according to the koran. Just imagine what they are teaching the children.
Fourth, science and history prove the koran false over and over again so how can you educate your kids with facts when it destroys the koran's validity so factually education is not highly looked upon. So when most of your population does not trust their children to be taught facts it does not produce brilliant achievers.
Fifth, it is hard to do business with the world when as a muslim you do not have to keep contracts made with non-muslims. As a matter of fact they are to be taken advantage of if you feel like it. You quickly loose trading partners to those more trustworthy.
None of these make for producing a very productive society.
Actually, they should be proud of all these stats; it ain't easy learning how to read and learning how to use a computer, etc., when you're so doggone dumb.

An excellent book, I might add. He also pointed out the treatment of animals in the Arab world.
"One of their biggest problems is they believe that borrowing money is a sin. Therefore it's hard for them to build businesses, or acquire land and property."
They do not seem to have the belief that taking something which does not belong to them is also a sin.
I notice the computer use statistics are for Arabs rather than Muslims. I wonder what the percentage is when you separate out the Christian Arabs?
