P.O.V. ON POVERTY:The Expanding Dimensions of
Muslim and Interfaith Discourse in NYC

How can a study of the discourse help us better understand how faith traditions and values are sustained among leaders and communities? Do individual spiritual needs take priority over the common good? And do
divergent views closely reflect social class and income differences within the Muslim community itself?
WORLD POVERTY
"the bottom half of the global population possesses barely 1 percent of total wealth ... In sharp contrast, the richest 10
percent own 86 percent of the world's wealth, with the top 1 percent alone accounting for 46 percent of global assets."
In fact, the income of the world's richest 100 persons could eliminate extreme poverty
four times over.
The wealth gap between the top 10 percent and the bottom 90 percent is also reaching record levels within developed nations.
The World Bank reports that close to 2.5 billion of our fellow human beings--more than one-third of the
world's population-- live on less than US $2 a day and an overwhelming 80 percent of the world's population struggles to survive on less than US $10 dollars a day.
