Did you ever take any history class in you life? Islam did not spread through poverty idiot. Guess what a thousand years ago Europe was a sh*thole and the richest place in the world was Afghanistan(silk road), Pakistan didn't exist India did. India was one of the most richest place in the world during that time. Muslims actually created the "TajMahal". Indonesia too was a rich place where there were many natural resources along with Malaysia.
You seem to confuse todays world to a thousand year old world.

The only reason Europe is developed today is because of colonialism of those Muslim/ third world countries. And the reason North America is developed because of black slavery(of which many of the victims were African-Muslim) and Native American, Mexican blood.

PS: I'm in 10th grade and I know better than you.
