The 27th Arab League Summit opened on July 25th in the Mauritanian capital, Nouakchott. Founded in 1945 and comprises of 22 Arab states with several observers. It is becoming an increasingly dysfunctional group with leaders of several members such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordon, Tunisia, Algeria, And Palestine skipping the summit.
As the influential and outspoken Saudi Shura council member
Ibrahim Al-Buleihi, points out, that the problem is the intrinsic nature of the Arab. The Arab feels, he has come to teach not learn, to impose not assimilate, to overpower not tolerate. This is greatly at odds with the new world order.
On the back of Petro Dollars three decades of violent export of this violent and adversarial philosophy is scarring the world while threatening to destroy the Arabs themselves.
Unfortunately the world finds it difficult to differentiate other Muslims from Arabs. As a result all Muslims, many of them good people are increasingly being viewed with suspicion and shunned globally, sadly even being isolated within countries of which they are the citizens.
The malicious and violent genie birthed, groomed and released by the Arab leaders is taking time to contain. With the rest of the world increasingly united on this issue, this radicalism will be contained, but not before there will be a heavy price in destruction and misery.
One cannot keep on setting on fire someone else's house without getting burned yourself. When things will overflow the brim, there is hope that the vast majority of peace loving Muslims will speak up and act against extremism to curtail excesses and fanatism. Unfortunately along the way there will be many victims, the greatest will be the Arab regimes and rulers themselves.
