Why Muslim Countries are Upset

There are 46 countries with a combined population of 900 million, with over 50% of their population being Muslims. They range in population from Qatar with 180,000 people to Indonesia with 161 million. The combined GDP of these 46 countries is $1.9 trillion.

Comparing this to the USA, their combined population is over 3 times ours but their GDP is 1/6 of $11.6 trillion GDP. Three of the eight regions of the USA (Southeast, Mid-East, and Far West) have a greater GDP than these 46 countries combined.

Most of these Muslim countries are rich in oil, but virtually all of them are ruled by decree rather than by the vote. They are all “Command and Control” economies that in many ways resemble the old USSR. It didn’t work there and it won’t work in these Muslim countries.

Only thru liberation of their economies and liberation of their vote will these countries be able to achieve what is commonplace in dozens of countries in the world. Until they choose freedom, they will be mired in regimes of repression, discontent and underachievement of their full potential.

Let Freedom Ring!
