I just don't get it any more. I would expect industry would love to tap cheap labor in Islamic countries. Supply and demand runs the rest of the world. You would think industrial giants would pull all the Islamic Noodnick Leaders into a consortium and explain to them what they are passing up. If you can pay 16 year old's ten cents a day to throw rocks at jews and get shot at, imagine what workers they would make for $3.00/hour building widgets?

Stability is required above all else for an environment appropriate for investment. You also must have infrastructure, a relatively educated, relatively industrious workforce, and a relatively cooperative government.

If you want to invest in Palestine, you're a few short there. The only profitable venture there is selling Holy Land trinkets in Bethlehem, and selling propaganda tours to lefties from around the world.

Can't keep them on the job. They gotta have their "demonstration" breaks. Gotta have their "martyr" breaks. Gotta have their "burial" breaks. And gotta have their "prison"breaks.

Perhaps.

I was offered one job in Indonesia (95 percent Muslim) and - later - another job in Egypt.

I've worked in some real hellholes, but I am still in the USA. I've always turned down Muslim countries.

When you see fifty Islamists dragging their tongues at the sight of a halfway pretty Western babe in the airport, you know there's something depraved about their society and their so-called "religion."
