“Although their constitutions called for an Islamic form of government, the word 'Muslim' or 'Islamic' was just in name. Socially, the Muslim countries resorted to corrupt practices. Economically, they were insolvent, although they had immense natural resources; and politically, they were uncertain. Internationally, they were inactive, existing simply as an isolated, spent force. Individually, they became disruptive and collectively anarchic.”
Jaaber, Final Chapter: I Buried Malcolm
