Islamic Jihadhas caused devastating and irreparable damage to the economic life of Zimbabwe. The inflation in Zimbabweruns at 100,000 percent a year. 424This decolonizing sentiment continues to reverberate in many former colonies where Europeans havesettled in large numbers. The black supporters of South African President Thabo Mbeki, who consider RobertMugabe as an ally and a "hero of the (anti-colonial) resistance movement", also want to see the Zimbabweanscenario being replicated in their own country. Max Hastings writes of Mbeki that ‘many of his own votersapplaud Zimbabwe’s land confiscations and, indeed, the ruthless treatment of its white rump.’ 425 Thishappens despite the fact that these white settlers constitute the mainstay of the national economy; withoutwhom, those nations will face serious economic consequence.On the other hand, the Muslim settlers as well as the local converts have become a serious economichandicap in the lands previously conquered by Muslim. If one looks at India, it becomes evident that theconversion of the indigenous Hindus to Islam has, on the whole, imparted a severe handicap on them.Although not genetically different from the Hindus, Muslims in India continue to fall behind in almost everypositive achievement: education, science, prosperity and so on. Still, they take great pride in their imaginedsuperiority of being Muslim. They receive praise even from many non-Muslims for calling the conqueredlands their home. Last but not the least, Muslims continue to despise the Hindus and their jahiliyah culture,which they strive to destroy completely; the campaign for this is being invigorated with increasingradicalization of India’s Muslims in recent decades. If they become successful in completely Islamizing India,it will, in all probability, turn her with the vast population into big handicap for the world.424.
