Why are they powerful? why are Muslims powerless?Here's another reason. We have lost the capacity to produce knowledge.
o In the entire Muslim World (57 Muslim Countries) there are only 500universities.o In USA alone, 5,758 universitieso In India alone, 8,407 universitieso Not one university in the entire Islamic World features in the Top 500Ranking Universities of the Worldo Literacy in the Christian World 90%o Literacy in the Muslim World 40%o 15 Christian majority-countries, literacy rate 100%o Muslim majority - countries , Noneo 98% in Christian countries completed primaryo Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary.o 40% in Christian countries attended universityo In Muslim countries a dismal 2% attended.o Muslim majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslimso The USA has 5000 per milliono The Christian world 1000 technicians per million.o Entire Arab World only 50 technicians per million.o Muslim World spends on research/development 0.2% of GDPo Christian World spends 5 % of GDP
Conclusion.o The Muslim World lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.
Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the degree of diffusingknowledge.
o Pakistan 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizenso Singapore 460 per 1000 citizens.o In UK book titles per million is 2000o In Egypt book titles per million is only 17
Conclusion.o Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge
Applying Knowledge is another such test.o Exports of high tech products from Pakistan is 0.9% of its exports.o In Saudi Arabia is 0.2%o Kuwait , Morocco and Algeria 0.3%o Singapore alone is 68%
Conclusion.o Muslim World is failing to apply knowledge.
