Why are Muslims so backward and powerless? 

Dr Farrukh Saleem

The writer is the Pakistani Executive Director of the Centre for 
Research and Security Studies, a think tank established 
in 2007 and an Islamabad-based freelance  columnist.

We Muslims must wonder why is that only Muslim States like Iraq, 
Afghanistan and Libya are being attacked by the Christian West.  
Why do we get pushed around by them with the former President of 
the US George Bush calling it a crusade!  Why is that Muslim States 
often depend on the West for survival, even Saudi Arabia, 
the epicentre for Islamic fundamentalism is dependent on 
American largesse for their survival.  While they preach Wahhabi Islam 
all over the world, they allow American bases within a few hundred kilometres 
from the Holiest Shrines of Islam. 

There are an  estimated 1,476,233,470 Muslims on the face 
of the planet:  one billion in Asia, 400 million in Africa, 44 million in 
Europe and six million in the Americas . Every fifth human being  is 
a Muslim; for every single Hindu there are  two Muslims, for every 
Buddhist there are two Muslims and for every Jew there are one hundred Muslims.

Ever wondered  why Muslims are so powerless?

Here is why:  There are 57 member-countries of the 
Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), and all of them put together  
have around 500 universities; one university for every  three million Muslims. 
The United States has 5,758  universities and India has 8,407.

In 2004, Shanghai Jiao Tong University compiled an 
'Academic Ranking of World  Universities' , and intriguingly, 
not one university from Muslim-majority states was in the top-500.

As  per data collected by the UNDP, literacy in the 
Christian world stands at nearly 90 per cent and 15  Christian-majority states 
have a literacy rate of 100 per  cent.

A Muslim-majority state, as a sharp contrast, has an  average literacy 
rate of around 40 per cent and there is  no Muslim-majority state 
with a literacy rate of 100 per  cent.

Some 98 per cent of the 'literates' in the Christian world had completed 
primary school, while less than 50 per cent of the 'literates' 
in the Muslim world did the same.

Around 40 per cent of the 'literates' in the Christian world attended 
university while no more than two per cent  of the 'literates' in 
the Muslim world did the  same.

Muslim-majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims. 
The US has 4,000 scientists per million and Japan has 5,000 per million.
In the entire Arab world, the total number of full-time  researchers is 
35,000 and there are only 50 technicians  per one million Arabs. 
(in the Christian world there are up  to 1,000 technicians per one million).

Furthermore, the  Muslim world spends 0.2 per  cent of its GDP on 
research and development, while the Christian world spends 
 around five per cent of its GDP.

Conclusion: The Muslim  world lacks the capacity to produce knowledge!

Daily newspapers per 1,000 people and number of book titles 
per million are two indicators of whether knowledge is being 
diffused in a society.

In Pakistan,  there are 23 daily newspapers per 1,000 Pakistanis 
while the same ratio in Singapore is 360. In the UK , the number  
of book titles per million stands at 2,000 while the same  
in Egypt is 20.

       Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to diffuse  knowledge.   

Exports  of high technology products as a percentage of total  exports 
are an important indicator of knowledge  application. Pakistan's export 
of high technology  products as a percentage of total exports stands 
at one  per cent. The same for Saudi Arabia is 0.3 per cent;  
Kuwait , Morocco , and Algeria are all at 0.3 per cent, 
while Singapore is at 58 per cent.

    Conclusion:  
The Muslim world is failing to apply knowledge.    


Why are Muslims powerless?
.....Because we aren't producing knowledge,
.....Because we aren't diffusing knowledge.,
.....Because we  aren't applying knowledge.

And, the future  belongs to knowledge-based  societies.

Interestingly, the combined annual  GDP of 57 OIC-countries is under $2 trillion.
America , just by herself, produces goods and services worth $12  trillion;
China $8 trillion,
Japan $3.8 trillion and
Germany $2.4 trillion (purchasing power parity basis).

Oil  rich Saudi Arabia , UAE, Kuwait and Qatar collectively  
produce goods and services (mostly oil) worth $500  billion;   
Spain alone produces goods and services worth  over $1 trillion,
Catholic Poland $489 billion and Buddhist Thailand $545 billion.

..... ( Muslim GDP as a percentage of world  GDP is fast  declining ).   

So, why are Muslims so powerless?

Answer:  Lack of education.   

All we do is  shout to Allah the whole day and blame everyone else 
for  our multiple  failures!
