Because they marry their cousins. Its lowered the overall IQ percentage demonstrably. Couple that with an ideology which states there is only one book worth reading and voila.

Maybe because they have too many Muslims?
Because they are islamic.
“...I. am the Way, the Truth and the Life....”
“...He who the Son has set free is free indeed...”
“..IF you got chains, He’s a chain breaker...”
The simplest answer is that 7th century was a high point for Islam and Muslims don’t see the need to move past that.

Islam ‘lags’ because:
6th Century Islamic edict: If something is in the koran, it is unneeded - burn it. If something is not in the koran - it is anathema - burn it.
Churchill explained it very,very well about 120 years ago.
Islamic culture is simply not compatible with the values, institutions and policies that constitute modernity. Islamic culture severely limits women and non privileged people of talent rarely have the opportunity to excel. Yet in the modern era of digital telecommunications even the poor and uneducated in Muslim countries come to realize how needlessly bad they live. The challenge of modernity cannot be avoided. The result is the political instability and violence that now characterizes the Islamic world. People vote with their feet and migrate, the jihadists are bewildered reactionaries desperate to stop any change, the privileged and wealthy produce little but use their wealth to preserve the status quo in any way possible. Eventually Islamic culture will reform or collapse. Until then true economic prosperity and social justice will not happen.
A subculture of troglodytes who veered off from civilization.
It would be a total Third World backwater.
Looks like a very interesting research paper that will take time to digest. I pity the researcher. The backlash will be something terrible. He will be attacked by Muslims and their bedmates, the Left. Truth is not to be tolerated.
Because they follow the mad ravings of a murderous, raping, pillaging pedophile.
Their “holy” book requires them to subjugate, convert or kill everyone else on the planet.
Submission to Islam and domination by Islam, full scale group-think that doesn’t allow for individuality and discourages individuality and innovation. Sort of like a multigenerational Stockholm Sydrome ...

“The passing of Bernard Lewis last week at the age of 101”
Hadn’t heard
They burn books, destroy libraries, historical artifacts, etc.
Why?
They don’t like truth. They don’t want their false and evil religion exposed. They don’t encourage education. I’ve read that over 25% of Muslims are illiterate. So many more are barely literate. This is how the control them. This is how they keep power.
God does not bless pagans, but He at times uses them to punish His disobedient children when they forget Him. The Bible is replete with this ancient pattern of God disciplining His people after ample warnings against doing evil things against His will.
