Oh, this one will be fun. I think I'll watch from my protective bunker.

I don't think they can be, in a world that contains a non-Muslim country. Their one goal is conquest and bringing everyone under Allah.

Now, what happens if they ever attain that goal? I don't think they'll be happy then either. Perhaps if they destroy all history so the people will never know what the world was like, they'll be able to persuade people that they're well off. But when the whole world is a Muslim country I believe that they will still rebel against the conditions they live in. Islam is not a modern, forward looking belief giving respect to the individual. A thousand years from now, there may be another revolution against the leaders, as in Egypt, etc. If not, a dark night of slavery will descend over the world.

Dear Infidel,

Well, the majority of Muslims are not Arabs, they are Asian. Which of the Arab countries that you mentioned would you want to live in? I don't want to live in Gaza for sure. The leaders of their countries are no more Muslim than our leaders are Christians, those are just religions to them it is just things they claim to believe. The Arab world has been run by ruthless regimens for decades, the majority of them live in terrible conditions and are told it is our fault because, it is. We have supported their leaders. We supported the Shah who tortured all opposition. Maybe they are unhappy because we keep bombing them and supplying the bombs.

Hasty Generalization

Other than that, your "unhappy Muslim countries" have GDP per capita significantly less than your "happy Muslim countries." Also, most of your "unhappy" countries were colonized by foreign powers in fairly recent history.

There are plenty of happy Muslims in Arab countries, and plenty of unhappy Muslims in Western countries.

Gallup- Countries ranked by wellbeing

The above link shows that wealthy Islamic countries like Qatar and the UAE are in the top 15 worldwide in terms of highest percentage of population thriving.

Both are ranked ahead of the UK.


ETA: Common links among happy population are economic prosperity, education access, human rights, etc.

The way to increase happiness in Islamic countries is by allowing them the freedom to develop these types of things, stop treating them like nothing but a threat and nuisance, respect their religion, and withdrawal our military.

Very soon Spain will be primarily Muslim.

The Muslim population in Spain will increase by 82% between now and 2030. In other words the Islam population of 1,021,000 or 2.3% of the total population, will increase to 1,859,000 or 3.7% of the total.

Muslims will remain relatively small minorities in Europe and the Americas, but they are expected to constitute a growing share of the total population in these regions.
