Nobody is stealing anything and there is no colonialism. The oil and gas belong to the nation states of the Middle East, and is sold by them at market prices.Why are the western states staring at the oil and natural gas of the Middle East?
Isn't colonialism obvious theft?
Muslims in vain clash with each other, thieves continue to steal!
Shouldn't they be unity against thieves?
In order for Muslims to be united they would have to lay aside deep sectarian and nationalistic conflict.Why are the western states staring at the oil and natural gas of the Middle East?

In order for Muslims to be united they would have to lay aside deep sectarian and nationalistic conflict.
To me it looks like the best way to do that would be to lay aside the fundamentalism and ultra nationalism that drives such bigotry.
But if you were to do that you could even learn to co-operate with the west, so I guess your greatest enemy is the enemy of self.
And I hope you realise the fundamentalism and ultra nationalism of both Muslims and non-Muslims are wrong.Fundamentalism and ultra-nationalism drive bigotry in the US too.

The roots of sectarian and nationalistic problems that has prevented them from becoming a part of a diverse united world is rooted in the tribalism of their origins and culture. This is a similar problem with all ancient religions that remain divided and in conflict in the contemporary world.
There is a new world of unity and peace that will slowly evolve form a world of tragic consequences, but it takes a change in paradigms possibly eventually brought on by tragic consequences of clinging to ancient worldviews.
The Arab world was sleepy and apolitical until the end of the Ottoman Empire .. and nationalism has grown out of the problem of Palestine.
This describes the effects and surface consequence in history. I believe the tribalism of the Middle East and the Arab world lies at the root of the problem lies in the ancient tribalism that separates Judaism, and the different tribes that define the various divisions in Islam.
And they all managed to live together all over the Arab world until the 1950s.
I believe there is more to the history for example the role of the Ottoman Empire in the conflict, the domination of Western Colonialism cutting up the Middle East in divisive boundaries in the Middle East and Africa to manipulate the Colonial World, and the rise Christian missionary efforts evoked a backlash from the Islamic Middle East..
The rise in conflicts in post WWII Middle East, though still rooted in tribalism is manifest in Anti-Jewish/Semitic persecution and ethnic cleansing in the West, Zionism, and the rise of tribal nationalism in Middle East, which has its roots in the 19th century
Anywhere you had colonialism in the Arab world you had a rise in nationalism.. Saudi Arabia had NO colonial experience..
Well... I mean... Israel...Nobody is stealing anything and there is no colonialism.
Good point. I was thinking of the oil and gas that the poster had in mind.Well... I mean... Israel...
Well... I mean... Israel...
Which country is having its oil stolen by which western state?God bless you and may Muslims stop killing each other and the western states stop stealing their oil. May the oil and natural gas of the middle east fall to the hands of the people who will use it most wisely. May this be done in Jesus name and by his blood. May Muslims stop getting so offended when a Christian states that God loves us so much that he became one of us and shared in our suffering and even died for us and was humiliated for us to show us how much he loved us, that every bit of suffering and humiliation and agony in this life is actually a share in Christ's Crucifixion and shall lead to a glorious resurrection.
God bless you, my Muslim neighbor...let go of all hate or anger...it isn't healthy....bless your enemies even that they will have a change of heart...also, I don't think anyone is stealing from you

Long story short, pointing to Israel is a poor argument.
