More On Islam (Economics, this time)



"There are two strains of commentary about the Islamic world emerging in the current tensions.

The second, which is honest, explores why many of the states in the Islamic world are failing in economic and social terms."

The Economic Failure of Islam


Muslim societies need to deal with their own failure
