  • New Zealand ranked "most Islamic" country by study

    Israel is also ranked more Islamic than every Muslim country other than Malaysia and Kuwait. The US is ranked 25th, higher than every Muslim nation. The West Bank/Gaza (Palestine) is the second least Islamic country.

    You'll have to read the PDF for more fun tidbits. The list is at the end. It's 40 pages.



    Most Muslim countries are ranked in the bottom half of the list.

    A short blurb regarding how they measured "Islamicity":

    In the recent past, the religion under the microscope is Islam. But we must be careful how we assess Islam, by the behavior of those that are labeled as Muslim or by Muslim teachings? To what extent do self-declared Islamic countries actually behave as Islamic countries i.e. following Islamic teachings from the Quran and the life and sayings of the Prophet? In other words, are these countries truly Islamic or are they Islamic in name only? We believe that only once this question is addressed can one begin to measure and/or claim empirically that Islam either deters or enhances human development, human solidarity and economic performance. When asking the question of “how Isla
    mic are the Islamic countries?” it is to be expected that the question could be seen as complex and controversial, but
    perhaps unreasonable, if not outright immeasurable.

    I would really love to see a similar study involving Christianity... if for no other reason than to troll catholics some more.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

    I think this says much more about the people who authored the rankings than the countries being ranked.

        Yes. The good values taught by Islam are taken to heart by some... and ignored by leadership... who uses the religion for their own purposes.

              NOPE! There are no good values in Islam at all and if you say otherwise you're obviously a SECRET MUSLIM.

                Is it the harems? I bet it's the harems. Good luck with that, Sava.

                  Here's what I don't get... Jesus has a prominent place in Islam. Judaism? No Jesus. You'd think Christians (even the wannabes like BK) would connect more with Islam.

                  But to be fair, those people probably hate the Jews just as much... they just will support Israel because they want there to be a nuclear war so Jesus can return.

                    I think they started being nice to Jews after the Holocaust. No one wants to be associated with Nazis. During the middle ages they hated Jews and Muslims equally.

                        No, Jews more. They killed Christ, after all.

                          I thought the Romans killed him.

                            Yes. But the authors of the Gospels wanted to show they were patrioral Romans so they tried to pin it on the Jews.
