THE MUSLIM ECONOMIC TRAP: THE CORRELATION OF GOVERNMENT ECONOMIC POWER WITH PRESENT-DAY TERRORISM

Reader comment on item: The Causes of Terrorism: It's Not about Money

Submitted by Carol M. Fuller (United States), Jul 11, 2008 at 16:08

Terrorism does not correlate with money but with government ownership or control of productive property. Islamic laws and customs (ranging from inheritance laws to education to intolerance) discourage development of pools of wealth in productive property in the general population.

Above is title of my book. ISBN 13: 978-1-59298-217-2

ISBN 10: 1-59298-217-4

Charts from Index of Economic Freedom correlate the above facts. Exceptions are the Gulf States in which there are business opportunities due to long history of commerce and British influence.
