Ive traveled to most Muslem countries, I find them poor and impoverished. Including SaudiaArabia with a percapita equal to Mexico. Iran receives UN aid, Pakistan is mostly slums.
Im told this is caused by our Muslem Religon and it needs to change and alread has in the young of these countries.
Please comment on this.

poor people can pay for hope with faith (they have no money to buy it). Not to sound crass but it's like buying votes when you sweep in with a new religion and gobs of food.

It has nothing to do with your religion.It is a product of industrialization, urbanization and political control. When coutries make the switch from agricultural to industrial, many of the people abandon the source of true wealth to pursue the monied economy- and the cost of the industrial infrastructure must be ultimately borne by the people. The areas that stay rural/agricultural are probably much as they were many years ago- a man is always rich if he has a few cows and can grow some dates. I guess it depends on what your idea of poverty and wealth are, too. Most people say that the Western world is rich....but although many of the people have luxuries and money...when you think about it, the average person is holed up in some apartment in the city, and is a paycheck away from ruin, and has no real wealth. When I lived in New York City and made $50K a year, I was poor- I slept on the floor. Now I live in a rural area, have livestock and 3 bedrooms....and only make under $20K...yet I am much "richer" now. Don't confuse the pursuit of money with being well off.

Why lots hatred??? comprehend the rulings of a real Islamic usa... All Non-muslims can stay peacefully, practice their faith, rejoice their gala's etc. The Islamic government will allot money for the fix of their places of worship each and each time its required. Absolute Justice would be practiced while concerns on the subject of a Muslim and a Non-muslim's dispute. There may be NO specific scientific guard any muslim only because of the fact he's a muslim. If a muslim murders a non-muslim, he would be Murdered. All muslims and non-muslims can commute at the same time, dine at the same time and artwork at the same time. so which you notice, there is in basic terms Justice right here. notice that the principally centers are at a small tax, which the non-muslims will pay to the government. Now dont make a hue and cry approximately it. each usa has a tax it incredibly is quite intense. right here this tax is exceptionally much negligible.

Not totally true
Saudi Arabia gives a one time royalty on oil to each citizen. Last year it was like $700 which is a fortune to most people.
Now, the WEALTH level in America is MUCH HIGHER than Saudi Arabia, but America is 200 trillion dollars in debt and Saudi Arabia makes so much money they PROFIT SHARE with the people!

The countries are not poor, the people are, because the leaders hoard all the money, and buy extravagant, unneeded things.. Every Muslim kingdom is lead by people who could care less about the average man on the street.. That's how the Europeans wanted it when they placed them in power in the first place..

Turkey is not poor... not in the big cities.
Morocco is not poor in the big cities, but there's definitely poverty in the rural areas.
Overall, Muslim countries aren't so poor compared to many other regions, it's probably about the same as South America.
Also, Muslim country inhabitants usually don't seem to care much for luxurious items, they just want to live according to their religion.

because this life is to test the believers. when a believer does sin, he gets punished in this worldly life until he become pure from all sins..... but for he disbeliever, God give them their reward in this life, so they have no reward in the life after.
here is God explaining:
[54] So leave them in their error for a time.
[55] Do they think that in wealth and children with which We enlarge them
[56] We hasten unto them with good things. Nay, (it is a Fitnah (trial) in this worldly life so that they will have no share of good things in the Hereafter) but they perceive not. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî)

Thats not true my friend, alot of arab countries are very wealthy, and the ppl there enjoy very high standards of living, higher than most westerners, like UAE, Quatar, Kuwait, ...etc. most of the population in thses countries enjoy very very high quality of life that most westerners are stunned when they go there!
