Malaysia and the club of doom : the collapse of the Islamic countries

Banned in Malaysia in 2016 - ten years after it was published - due to criticism of mixing Islamic religion with politics. "This book, Malaysia and the Club of Doom, describes how virtually all Muslim countries have their societies erode into eventual collapse the moment they start to adopt "Islamic" laws. Published in 2006, It shows a plethora of accounts from around the world showing Muslims being violent, irrational, hostile and just tragically stupid." - Imad ur Rahman Khan, 2013 - "Why do so many Muslim countries fail? Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, Bangladesh; to name just a few. All these countries suffer from civil wars or internal civil strife. Their citizens easily constitute the largest segment of illegal migrants to Europe. Despite years of aid from Western countries and modern education, these countries are not progressing. Are there specific factors in Muslim countries that cause them to fail? This is a question often asked in the corridors of power in Western capitals. In 2006, Syed Akbar Ali, a Malaysian banker and blogger, wrote a book entitled Malaysia, The Club of Doom and The Collapse of the Islamic Countries. In this book, Syed Akbar argues that Muslim societies cannot progress because of a set of characteristic, often linked to Islam, which hinder their development. The book is a clear warning to the Islamisation process underway countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. If they proceed with the current trajectory where Islam replaces science, knowledge and technology, there is every reason to think Malaysia will soon join “The Club of Doom”. Nearly a decade (in 2015) after the book was published, Syed Akbar Ali was invited by James Chin, from JCI’s governance programme, to talk about his book and revisit many of the arguments he made in 2006." - Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia, 2015 - The Islamic countries have certainly collapsed - economically, politically and even socially. In this book, the author has reproduced or referred to media reports, books, research findings and speeches by Islamic leaders which clearly proves the same. And for those who would deny that the Islamic countries are collapsing, I have dedicated a whole chapter to deniers. But the fact is Islam CANNOT collapse. Syed Akbar Ali, 46 years old was a banker for 10 years from 1987 until 1997. Born in Ipoh, Perak the Author had his early education at the Anglo Chinese School and finished his schooling at the Penang Free School.
