In spite of this fact, the Western powers have never given sufficient importance to the Muslim world. They have always been inclined to treat it as a big backward and lethargic child.

The hatred Muslim extremists feel against the West feeds on certain conflicts in the world.

Therefore, the observation must be explicitly made: In the Middle East and in the Muslim world, suspicions linger concerning the objectives of the West and notably the US.

The Muslim world and its subset the countries of the Middle East have been left behind in the marathon of political, economic and human development. For that, there is a tendency to blame others as the primary cause.

It's no surprise that the Bush administration's bullying swagger and blithe ignorance have caused much of the Muslim world to hold the U.S. in rock-bottom regard.

Today, the Muslim world is the poorest of the global powers.

Muslim leaders should ask themselves what exactly their relationship is to a political movement that encourages young men to kill and maim on religious grounds.

It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam.

That's because international Islamic religious fanatics have the same goal as the Axis fascists - the destruction of our way of life.

Islamic extremism may well be the greatest threat to Western values and Western security in the world.
