Stand by and let our industrial might go bankrupt, fall into the hands of potential enemies?
US industry GM, Ford, Chrysler, Steel. etc were critical to America surviving and winning WW ll, Korea, etc.
These factories could be bought by Muslims with our money, then the doors shut, workers laid off, the plants dismantled and junked or shipped out of the country. With no defense left for the country, how will we feed all the poor? And stop the barbarians from sacking the country?
You let your eyes off the ball.

The only way you can counter the scenario you are suggesting is to nationalise them, which of course brings you a step closer to socialism.(You did it for the banks!)
Alternatively, you can stick to the free market system that you wanted us in the developing world to follow, and dismantle GM, Ford, etc etc. You can’t really compete in the world you have helped create.
No going back now. Look for some humanitarian buyers and hope they will not sack the security guys who will guard the empty factories.
