My problem with the religion (and people) as a whole is they have not yet accepted responsibility for their economic backwardness.

Religion and economics are seperate issues. There are poor Christian's as well.

They are not separate issues when the religion, as practiced, forbids individual initiative. Those countries that enforce religious conformity as government policy are likely to be poor, Muslim or otherwise. Most Christian countries have official religious freedom. Only a few Muslim countries do. and these are under constant attack.
