If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans

52 would be female
48 would be male

70 would be non-white
30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and All 6 would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

The following is also something to ponder...
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death... you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada.

If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Thats an amazing post brother. Very good insight to how our world is. 11/100 people being homosexual is so odd in my opinion. Can anyone remember back to when it was 0/100 homosexuals in the world?

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and All 6 would be from the United States.
Wow.

That's pretty cool. I love statistics. What I thought was odd was the part were all the rich were American. You'd think at least one would be from somewhere else. The gay part I already knew. I've always heard that 10% of the population was gay. Nice post.

No doubt if I were religious and Muslim I might agree with you. But as I am not, might I suggest that the hard work, dedication, labor and savings of hundreds of generations of kafirs before you might have had something to do with all that wealth, health, literacy, shelter and so on?

After all I don't know where you live, but if you look around I think you will find examples of institutions built by long-dead non-Muslims to make the world a better place.

I know, gratitude is too much but a little credit once in a while might be nice

All praise is for Allah who gave those non-Muslims the will and might to construct such institutions and so forth.

And there had to have been someone that gave the "non-muslims" their brains in order to function and know how to create anything modern. We believe allah did that, you can choose not to.

I thought the Mayans invented the zero long before.
