Islam, illiteracy, and inbreeding

While reading an article on how inbreeding amongst Muslims is damaging their health, sanity, and society, I came across this interesting figure:

In the last 1,200 years years of Islam, just 100,000 books have been translated into Arabic, about what Spain does in a single year. Seven out of 10 Turks have never even read a book.

The original material, which contains links to the original studies referenced, is here.
