This is FALSE. 

Islam sees its main enemies as pagans, such as Hindus, who have many gods. Islam tends to think of pagan deities as demons of entities created by demons.


Keep in mind that in Saudi Arabia and some other Muslim countries, people are tired, convicted and sentenced for WITCHCRAFT.

Witchcraft involves demonic influences. The usual term for witches is djinns. (genies are also djinns).


Islam claims that God communicates with people by sending prophets. The first was Adam, then Noah, then Jesus and Mohammad was the last and final messenger of the One True God. When Muslims invaded a country, they killed the pagans, the Manichaeists, the Zoroastrians or drove them out of the country.  They considered Jews and Christians to be "people of the Book", that is people who recognized one creator god who still did not quite get it. As a rule, they made Jews and Christians pay an extra tax to remain in the country.


The general belief of Marx was that religion was the opiate of the people, which was used by the ruling classes to prevent the proletariat, ie the people who actually turned raw materials into useful products and in that way were the creators of wealth.


For economic development to happen, three things are essential: raw materials, capital and labor. I think that creativity is also required, but that is a form of labor.
