Response: Muslims in a Muslim State are in the economic bad conditions they are in not due to Islam, but a result of the oppression by the West. As Muslims were the most prominent and educated in the World, only until the West conquered and oppressed them with divide and conquer tactics for imperialism.
Power and progress shifted to the West long before colonialism. Much of the Ottoman Empire's issues were internal conflict between religion, tradition and modernization.
