To someone who said that with Islam there cannot be economic development

I replied to Agha H Amin (Pakistani Army officer, retired) Jan 13 2018:

Dear sir, I do not believe you need to abandon any religion (Islam in this case) to reach economic success. Just two things are needed to get on a fast track to developmenet: no marriage among cousins (http://www.bipartisanalliance.com/2018/01/the-churches-bans-on-consanguineous.html) and marriage delays (http://www.bipartisanalliance.com/2018/01/late-marriage-as-contributor-to.html).

For the record, I am an Atheist... But I do support religious people.
