Bret Stephens, Global View columnist for the Wall Street Journal, has answers to some very good questions ~
What’s holding the Arab world back? Why, by nearly every measure, are Muslim nations so far behind the West economically, culturally and scientifically?

Stephens doesn’t mention what’s really at the heart of the developmental disparities, so I will. It’s a “God thing.” As I’ve quoted here frequently ~
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
~ Genesis 12:2-3
It’s as simple – yet profound – as that.
