Of the 1.4 billion Muslims 800 million are illiterate (6 out of 10 Muslims cannot read). In Christendom, adult literacy rate stands at 78 percent.
Muslims are 22 percent of the world population and produce less than five percent of global GDP. Even more worrying is that the Muslim countries’ GDP as a percent of the global GDP is going down over time.
The combined annual GDP of 57 Muslim countries remains under $2 trillion. America, just by herself, produces goods and services worth $10.4 trillion; China $5.7 trillion, Japan $3.5 trillion and Germany $2.1 trillion. Even India’s GDP is estimated at over $3 trillion (purchasing power parity basis).

Here is the problem I see with the article you supplied. Nowhere does it cite where the person who wrote the article got their figures from........or any of their information at all.
I could care less if the person is a Dr., unless he is a proctologist because for all we know he pulled this information out his rear end.

Wikipedia is your friend.

It's an interesting read, but for all we know very biased based on the fact that the author did not supply where the information came from.
Also, Wikipedia is not perfect. Quite often the information supplied is wrong, and it's repeatedly edited.
What else 'ya got to prove YOUR point?

There are no facts given in your opening post, based on the article.
It's up to you to prove what the author of your article says is true.
It's obvious that you are familiar with google, so have at it!

If they are illiterate, they can't read the koran, if they can't read the koran, what makes them a muslim? Religious decree? That is not religious that is just administered "faith".
