Why Muslim countries are so weak and backward compared to some non-Muslim countries?

[Böri]

Anyway, the way we have dealed with Kurds bring out Turks' own MENA aspect (Emotional, Irrational)

It was dealt with a Muslim brotherhood viewpoint, especially during the opening years by AKP some years ago. That's why PKK spread inside Turkey for exaple. They quickly understood, after elections ,that Muslim brotherhood doesn't solve such issues.

[Pahli]

The best way of dealing with Kurds would be letting them free in the first place. But the retarded ego of Turks and the politicians who are dependent on votes of those retards never took the "necessary steps"

If I was Ataturk I would have given up from Eastern Turkey gladly. A region that is a black hole of taxes from west, a source of unwanted culturally alien immigrants. Region with polygamy, child brides, honor killings.

Keep it, even stuck it in your ass, that's what our ego wishes.

Its failed minority policies basically, Mingle described it well, the policy of the post-Ottoman governments were to attempt assimilation of all non-ethnic Turks, as an example, Kurds were "Mountain Turks", albeit a completely different people in terms of language and some minor differences in culture and even physically too.

I was just called "mountain christian" by a Turk on another forum the other day. It's very much alive yet today.

Is this a joke?

No it is no a joke.. and it is no a joke the fact that islam is the main religion in Turkey...How many milions Christian were killed and forced to deny their religion by primitive arabic barbarians ( from Arabia )

[Numidia]

It's because of backward extremists they claim only life after death matter so people don't even care of developping their countries and the population is still growing if they don't work and have too much kids after that this kids will have no future they will say "it's god will" not their responsibility
They distort Islam missive concerning progress and they should push women to work study to be more involved in society and children education
The prophet sws wife khadija was a wealthy tradeswomen much more older now we are far away to see a women president in Muslims country

Soon they'll have more nuclear power and then I give mankind 20 years tops. The US will even help Saudi Arabia with their nukes. Scary foresight.

Why? Islam

[tipirneni]

Nations with really intellectual people & groups have outgrown the religion thing. It has been the other way around until the people move beyond a critical point of development. Islam had also share of intelligent people in the past that were able to stand side by side to the Christian Europe. It is probably more than just the religion that is making people backward.

Given the hedonistic lifestyle of many a muslim, I'm not too worried about the future. I am worried about more countries getting nuclear warheads, and that's a legit worry of course. Especially now both Russia and the US have abandoned the disarmament accords of the '80s.

Inbreeding and religion
