Since Islam has always spread first in poverty areas. N. Africa, Middle East,Afghanistan,Pakistan, Indonesia etc. where ever poverty rules, Islam moves in. Islam needs an enemy to have an Identity, Unity among Muslims only comes through common Enemy, Israel-Jews to have an Identity. Violence provides identity. Finally all roads in Islam leads to paradise through death, a life here after destroys the present. A life here after has no NOW! Allah Akbar! is the chosen destiny! yet no one debates this KORANIC VISION! 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.
