Culture... or government? And, are you pinning this on the head of Muslims?

Not at all, Barry's comment was regarding cultural problems not being at the root of poverty, government is an inseperable part of culture in most instances, not all but most. I certainly don't blame all the worlds ills on muslims, Just as I don't blame the Nez Perce or the US cavalry for the Nez Perce War which ended with Chief Joseph's famous speach, each party had some blame, each party took things too far in response.
