#1 In "the overwhelmingly Muslim northwestern African country of Niger" there is "an illiteracy rate cresting above 84 percent nationwide".

More evidence that the moon-god religion is anti-reason. Moslems can't even be bothered to learn to read. What purpose would that serve? the only true word is that of the Koran. Why would anyone want to read any other book?

#2 Has anyone tried to correlate Moslem dominance and rates of poverty as well as illiteracy in the world?

#3 Dunno, but if you look at the per capita GDP ranking of the world's nations in the CIA World Factbook you find nearly all of the non-oil-rich Islamic countries dead last on the list.

I think I read somewhere that the combined GDP of all the Islamic countries, excluding oil revenues, is about equal to the GDP of Denmark (or one of those mid-sized European nations, at any rate). But I can't remember where I saw that.

In that case it is only 1.5 times the GDP of... Israel

#5 educated muslims are harder to brainwash - they have other opportunities. Note I said harder, not impossible. The uneducated are good for fodder, little else
