To the expenditures of every country in the world, including Islamic ones. To humanity.
Expenditures related to Islam (but for Islam, they wouldnt exist):
Every countries >
Terror prevention budget,
Overall military retooling expense;
Percent of defense expenditures fighting Islamists;
Handouts to countries impoverished by Islam or devistated by Islamic violence;
Human Capital >
1.4 Billion people largely kept away from higher education and contributing almost nothing to human progress. Millions of deaths yearly related to violence where Islamic idealogy plays a central role.
Conclusion: The cost of Islam is not measurable. One way of looking at it, based on how quickly human progress has moved at certain times, is simply the idea that, if Islam didnt exist, we would probably right now be expecting to live to the age of 170 and be communicating from out spaceships.
