   Who wants to spend money in such a country?   
   What kind of tourists?   
   Who will invest?   
   Who will lend?   
   How to finance in infrastructure?   
      
   Consider Lebanon and Gaza. Iran has oil to sell but not many torists,   
      
   A successful nation requires a functioning econmy.   
      
   Neither Gaza nor Lebanon have a functioning economy.   
      
   Some could base it on the fact that neither Lebanon nor Gaza do not direct   
   resources into renuilding but expend esources in preparations for conflicts   
   with Israel as required by Islamic  extremism in a continuous conflict with   
   biblical prophecy while at    
   the same time Islam minimizes the  status of Abraham, Moses and Jesus to be   
   subservient to Mohammed.   
      
   There is not much value to an education which runs counter to accepted truths.    
      
   As such, we recognize Islamic extremism to be a greater threat to world peace   
   than either communism nor socialism. We do not call for the elimination of   
   Islam, just the extremist views which give cause to conflicts. We allllow for   
   freedom of choice as we    
   do not wish to force Christianity down anyone's throat else they are not   
   choosing to believe on own free will so as to gain credit from GOD for doing   
   that.   
       
   Believe what one wishes.   
      
   However, clearly understand tat the money only flows towards communities that   
   offer safety to shoppers from other nations.  The competition for extra money   
   is pretty fierce and clearly if a nation has a policy of eternal war with   
   Israel then shopperas    
   from other religions also will avoid doing business with Islamic  extremists   
   or any other state unable to control the power of its criminal gangs   
      
   So tell me again why people living in states governed by Islamic extremism   
   live in abject poverty. Is that an example for the rest of the world to follow?
