‘Muslims must adapt to change’
2011-06-30
JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia's finance minister on Wednesday urged Muslim countries to adopt suitable economic reform programs and adapt to the changing global economic atmosphere to confront the challenges facing them.

“We should also strengthen our joint efforts to overcome development obstacles,” Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Assaf told the annual conference of the Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank.
Twenty paragraphs or so about economic reform for Muslim countries. Not a word on the personal liberty, freedom of thought, and freedom of conscience required for effective economic reform in Muslim countries.

#2  Several of the Arab oil countries are at the peak of their oil production, and it will start to decline rather sharply in the next couple of decades. Iraq is not one of those, but for those Arab countries, something has to be found to keep handing out the goodies to the locals. That is Dubai went on the 'build like there is no tomorrow' trip, and is trying to attract everyone with money to buy mansions on their artificial island scam, the Palm.
