Hint: Islamic countries own 95% of the oil reserves in the world. Oil=Money. Money=Power.

I disagree with that stat - more like 50%

You caught me.

I recalled the 95% number, but it is the top 20 countries that hold 94.7% of the world's oil reserves and my recollection failed to recall that these were not all islamic.

Of these countries, the islamic ones control 64% of the oil.

Thanks for checking my facts.

The point I made... oil=money and money=power is still valid.
