otherwise known as the "West Bank", is thriving and the Arab population has never known such a heightened economic life. Google the journalist, Tom Gross, and read about his trip east of the Green Line.

All the rich muslums in the oil countries have european contractors build magnificent hospitals and universities and highways. Egypt and syria and others don't have the money to subsidize bread for the poor because countries like saudi and kuait and the emorites have no use for their muslum "brothers." Unless of course, they can be in a position and are willing to be an enemy of Israel, then they get the moola.

There is a correlation between poverty and high birth rates. When they learn to limit themselves to 2 - 3 children per male (ie not 8 children with a minimum of 2, and often up to 4, wives) they will not only be better off but also stop contributing exponentially to global warming.
