Is a bomb belt considered a technical innovation?

Exactly. Have been thinking about this very matter a lot over the past few days. Copious oil revenue began to pour into the arab world at about the turn of the century, roughly 1900. The point being that the relatively wealthy Arab world, unlike the economically poor sub-saharan area of the world, have made nearly equal cultural and world contributions.

Think about it. All of the world's wealth from oil purchases over the last 125 years has poured into a handful of Arab nations and what have they contributed? What? Apart from radical Islam what have they accomplished. What do they export? Beside oil, what do they have that anybody else in the world wants? Where is their art? Where are their goods, their national products? What have they done economically? Agriculturally? Scientifically?

Yes, the Arab world's sole industry is spreading hate and mayhem. They've got the riches of Croesus, enough for every individual to have plenty, and this is how they use it.

In few decades the Israelis, who care in their hearts and actions for all mankind as part of their inheritance, figured out how to make deserts flourish. They created hundreds of thousands of life saving innovations not only for themselves, but for all mankind. Many were traumatized refugees without a home, people who came with only the clothes of their backs and who educated their children in Torah precepts - for peace and for life. The Arabs just can't stand this success because it says volumes about what kind of society they might have accomplished in the past thousand years.
