Explain to us just WHY the West would want to screw itself by emulating Islamic countries? Yea...Pakistan is a real beacon of financial and economic genius. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE and Iraq sit on top of a giant aquifer of oil, found by American geologists and extracted by the West, and without it all those countries would still be ruled from tents by Beduins, probably without a single paved road, supermarket, mall or anything. I look at the world and I see every single Islamic country an economic mess. (Dubai is a single emerite withing the UAE that is successful). Even Saudis and Kuwaitis are supported by their governmentsis so one dimensional as to to be in serious danger of falling off the cliff once nobody needs their oil. Keep your Islamic economics just like I want you to keep your so-called flourishing family structures. Islam is a disaster for everything it touches, included us. Stay away.
