Question...?










Worldmapper.org: GDP Wealth
This wealth map shows which territories have the greatest wealth when Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is compared using currency exchange rates. This indicates international purchasing power - what someone’s money would be worth if they wanted to spend it in another territory. For some their money will gain value when they move - others’ money will lose value. This facilitates the movement of some people, whilst severely limiting that of others.


Does Islam speak to the primary needs to organize a society “better” than Christianity, Judaism?

Could ability be one of the variables that make the Islamic faith so pervasive in the regions that contains much of the world’s poor?


The power of Islam to make sense of the world reminds me of that conviction that sustained African Africans during the 1800’s.

Perhaps there is a connection?
