A Paradigm Shift toward Radical Islam in the Middle East


Even as key Arab leaders were pretending to find a common ground for a two State solution between Israel and Arabs that call them selves Palestinians they are apparently working for a Middle Eastern rapprochement of Arab leaders including Shi’ite Iran.

This demonstrates how duplicitous Arab involvement at the Annapolis Peace Conference was. It provides explanations of the Saudi led delegation of Arabs laying on the table demands on Israel that would effectively lead to the future annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel.

The result of an Arab rapprochement would lead to a direction of radical Islam. This means that the Muslim Middle East is beginning to view the power of America as not absolute and that playing old Cold War politics by courting the interests of the EU, Russia and China might further the ingrained Dar al Islam vision of a more confederated Muslim Middle East.

Obviously political nationalism foisted by the various titular heads of Muslim nations would prevent a united Muslim Middle Eastern political entity; however the goals of destroying Israel could become a united end game.

Victory upon victory by Israel over deficient Arab militaries began to wear them down from maintaining political normalcy in global economic involvement. When it became apparent that America was becoming the global hegemon and the old USSR was crumbling and China’s military complex was not even close to challenge America’s military, various Arab leaders began to view their religious hatred of Israel through the filter of real politics.

Some like Egypt and Jordan normalized political relations with Israel and others like Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria spoke a hostile game but left Israel alone (particularly after Israel bombed an Iraq nuke plant).

Then transnational terrorism aided by Muslim nations who saw a clandestine client to test America and Israel has proven to chip the armor of invincibility, especially on Israel.

So now scary things are emerging, one example being Egypt seeking to normalize relations with radical Iran (the preeminent supporter of client terrorism). And Saudi Arabia is pitching as a go between in the Arab world with diplomatic contact Iran. Saudi Arabia via Wahhabi millionaires is probably the second most preeminent of transnational terrorism.

The result is a subtle association leaning toward radical Islamicism in the Middle East.
