Why are they powerful? 
  
So 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) the re are only 500 universities. 
o  In USA alone, 5,758 universities 
o  In India alone, 8,407 universities 
o  Not one university in the entire Islamic World features in the Top 500 Ranking Universities of the World 
o  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 ,       None 
o  98% in Christian countries completed primary 
o  Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary. 
o  40% in Christian countries attended university 
o  In Muslim countries a dismal 2% attended. 
o  Muslim majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims 
o  The USA has 5000 per million 
o  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 GDP 
o  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 diffusing knowledge. 
  
o  Pakistan 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens 
o  Singapore 360 per 1000 citizens. 
o  In UK book titles per million is 2000 
o  In Egypt book titles per million is only 20 
  
Conclusion. 
o  Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge 
  
Applying Knowledge is another such test. 
o  Exports of high tech products from  Pakistan is 1% of its exports. 
o  In Saudi Arabia is 0.3% 
o  Kuwait, Morocco and Algeria 0.3% 
o  Singapore alone is 58% 
  
Conclusion. 
o  Muslim World is failing to apply knowledge. 
  
What do we conclude?
