The Muslim Economic Trap: The Correlation of Government Economic Power With Present - Day Terrorism
The Muslim Economic Trap The Correlation of Government Economic Power With Present Day Terrorism Author:Carol Fuller The Muslim Economic Trap is a book about Muslim customs and beliefs that stifle economic growth. The attacks on America by al Qaeda on September 11, 2001 left many Americans confused and angry. Carol Fuller, the author, attended a Christian-Muslim Dialogue group in her metropolitan area and was very impressed with the intelligence and goo... more »dness of its participants. But she did not find clear answers to her multiple questions. Carol began to research and read a great variety of books and articles to help her understand and relate to Muslim customs and beliefs. Some experts wrote that terrorism arose out of poverty and political weaknesses which led a few of them--quoting verses of the Qur'an selectively--to violence. As Carol's notes grew into a book she was peeling back layers in the development of the Islamic religion-economic system that frustrates the creative energies of ordinary men and excludes ordinary women. She was writing the very book that she had searched the libraries and bookstores for unsuccessfully, and economic history of Islam-how people made their living through fourteen long centuries, culminating today in certain extravagantly rich governments and generally submissive populations. Such a history and analysis of cause and effect will not be found outside this book.« less
