    Is it Islamophobic? The Arab world is carved into various states and statelets with little basis, geographic, cultural, or otherwise for their borders; many of them reactionary (or less reactionary, but no less compromised) monarchies, and its most populous country (Egypt) is governed by a western-backed military junta. The last of the pan-Arab secularist states to survive genocidal western crusading- Syria- remains illegally occupied and continually under siege, with the energy-rich and agriculturally-productive regions of the country intentionally controlled as a means to starve them out.

    It's no wonder that there can be no unanimity in the region as things are. Many of the current Arab governments have much to answer for, though it is not the Arab peoples' fault. At least there seems to be hope for things going forward..

      I guess when King Faisal of KSA blockaded the oil to US so that Palestine could survive CIA murdered him in cold blood. Thats only time KSA had some balls against Israel.
