The difference is the religious attitude to finance.
Indeed it was the Islamic attitude to finance that led to them become colonies in the first place.
Sorry, but this is just a restatement of your earlier assertion. It doesn't tell me any more than before.
No doubt these seem like simple questions to you, but I honestly don't know.
What exactly is the "Islamic attitude to finance"? How does it differ from other countries? Is it identical in all Muslim-majority countries?
Is this attitude solely responsible for economic trouble in former colonies? Or only in the ones you name? Can one point to any other issues in Bangladesh, for example, that would harm its economy?
You said earlier that Christian countries got over the bad financial advice in their scripture, so I'm guessing that Christian countries which are economic basket cases can't blame religion. But the Congo and numerous former colonies in South America have had a lot of trouble economically, and they are majority Catholic. In those cases, surely their status as former colonies and non-Islamic finance policies are to blame.
