Good job brother Nice initiative for a thread. United we stand strong, scattered and divided we are easily picked by the hyenas. We shouldn't let the hyenas seperate and create hatred among us.
Respect, tolerance, honesty, acceptance and unity. Once we take these to our selves, no force on earth other than Allah can effect the Muslim world.
Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia. We have everything: oil, technology, raw materials, agriculture, industry, manpower.
Turkey
Turkey is the Muslims worlds’ largest economy and the world’s 16
th
largest economy. It has growninto an $800 billion economy and seen spectacular growth after an economic crisis in 2001 broughtthe economy to its knees. Today Turkey is considered part of the elite G20 group and seen as adeveloped nation.
Geologically complex, Turkey possesses some of the richest and most diverse mineral deposits inthe world numbering 4,400. Today, 53 minerals are produced in the Turkish mining sector, with85% of production belonging to state-owned enterprises that dominate the production of mineralfuels and metallic ore. The 15% that belongs to the private sector is concentrated in industrialminerals. Turkey is the world’s largest producer of boron, chromite, marble, barites, magnesite,pumice, feldspar, celestite, and emery. Two-thirds of global boron reserves and 40% of global67
marble reserves are located in Turkey at the same time Turkey provides 80% of the world demandof emery. These are essential minerals for cement, construction and the building of infrastructure.
Egypt
The discovery of Crude oil and natural gas have led to petroleum products to dominate Egypt'smineral industry, petroleum and petroleum products are Egypt’s top export commodity. Among70
non-fuel minerals, phosphate rock (around the Red Sea, along the Nile, and in the Western Desert)and iron ore are the most important in terms of value and ore grade.Egypt’s first commercial quantities of oil were discovered in 1908. Large oil fields were discoveredin the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Suez, the Western Desert, and the Eastern Desert. The AbuRudeis and Ra's Sudr oil fields in the Sinai, captured by Israel in 1967, were returned to Egyptiancontrol in November 1975, and the remaining Sinai oil fields reverted to Egyptian control by theend of April 1982. Egypt's main mining activity revolves around the extraction of crude oil. Thecountry is not a major producer of oil, and its reserves are small by regional standards. Egypt'sproven crude oil reserves are estimated to be 4.1 billion barrels.Egypt today has 9 oil refineries producing 710,000 barrels per day of crude oil.
Don't forget that Egypt has the potential to harvest endless of solar power.
Iran
Iran’s economy is dominated by the export of oil and gas. With an economy worth $382 billionboth oil and gas constitute annual revenues of $85 billion for the government. Iran has $80 billion inforeign exchange reserves due to its export of oil and gas, 60% of the economy is in the publicsector and centrally driven by government.
ran has been blessed with oil and gas, at the same time it also has extensive and varied mineralresources. Iran is among the top ten countries in the world in terms of diversity of minerals, asidefrom its extensive oil and gas resources Iran is also the third-largest producer of gypsum. Iran’smineral industry is dominated by coal, metallic minerals, sand and gravel, chemical minerals andsalt. Iran produces iron ore, copper, lead,zinc, chromium, barite, salt, molybdenum, strontium,silica, uranium, and gold. The mines at Sar Cheshmeh in Kerman Province contain the world'ssecond largest lode of copper ore (5% of the world's total).Iran has 3125 operating mines, 2747 of these are operated by private companies. Iran extracted217.5 million tons from its mines in 2007.Iran’s mining industry is dominated by the refining of both oil and gas, resources Iran has amplereserves of. Iran has an estimated 136.2 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, around 10% of theworld's total proven petroleum. Iran has 40 producing fields, 27 onshore and 13 offshore, with themajority of crude oil reserves located in the south-western Khuzestan region near the Iraqi border.Iran’s oil resources are set to become even more important as Iran is the only nation in the worldnot to have pumped more than 50% of its proven reserves
Pakistan
Pakistan currently has a population of 172 million, the 6
th
largest in the world, with GDP of $160billion, which is equivalent to the GDP of both Israel and Singapore who have populations of 7 and4.6 million respectively. The population of Lahore itself is 8 millionPakistan’s economy like the remainder of the Muslim world has shifted from being primarilyagricultural and industrial to services. Today Pakistan’s economy is primarily service based, drivenby the real estate, the stock market and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) at the same time most of Pakistan’s 48 million labour force is in the agricultural sector.Over the last decade the Pakistani economy has seen growth never witnessed in its history, howeverthe economic policies that allowed such growth have now run out of steam and have proven to havebeen unsustainable, for these reasons 72% of the population live on less than $2 a day.
Mineral resources
Pakistan has an immense variety of minerals and natural resources. Large deposits of gypsum,limestone, chromite, iron ore, rock salt, silver, gold, precious stones, gems, marble, copper, coal,graphite, sulphur, fire clay and silica are found in abundance across Pakistan. Punjab is Pakistan’smost fertile province which has the world’s largest salt range housing the world’s largest deposit of pure salt.Baluchistan province is a mineral rich area having substantial mineral, oil and gas reserves whichhave not been exploited to their full capacity or fully explored. The province has significantquantities of copper, chromite and iron, and antimony and zinc. It also has substantial gold in the farwest. Natural gas was discovered near Sui in 1952. Baluchistan has world’s fifth largest reserves of copper and over 20 million ounces of untapped Gold reserves in the Chaghi area and the Rekodiqmine.Pakistan has no shortage of coal and gas. Pakistan has been blessed with the world’s largest coalreserves after the US. The Thar coal field in Sindh is the world’s largest coal field. Thar coal hasone of the world’s largest lignite deposits, spread over more than 9, 000 sq. km. It comprises around185 billion tonnes of coal which is the equivalent of 618 billion barrels of crude oil; this wouldmeet country’s fuel requirements for centuries.Pakistan has an estimated 25.1 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of proven gas reserves. This has led toPakistan having the highest number of compressed natural gas (CNG)-run vehicles in the worldleaving Brazil and Argentina behind in the race as for the largest user of natural gas vehicles.
