On one side we have turkey, Malaysia, Pakistan and Indonesia to name a few, who have concentrated on advances in science and technology. All of them are majority secular liberal nations and on the road to being a developed welfare state for there citizens. On the other hand we have Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia who are still backward and there citizens are living in the stone ages. They have a lot to do to improve on human rights, open un-censored media, personal freedom of individuals. All of them are being ruled by dictators who cannot provide good administration. It doesn’t help the ordinary democracy loving moderate Muslim in these countries to raise his voice to fight for his liberation when his government can pick him up without a warrant and make him disappear for ever. All these backward doctorial nations are being aided by America (tax payer money in good use, other than Syria). The other question that also arises is what is wrong with America (why aid them to squash freedom and democracy)? Never underestimate the power of the mighty dollar. On a different note the Palestinians are suffering to a degree because of the incompetence, backwardness and military weakness of these countries. It was no act of luck that Pakistan was able to push a super power Russia out of Afghanistan. That country paid attention to educational, scientific and military development (just like Israel). On the other hand all these backward nations have seen the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the hands of Zionist Jews for a very long time and have not been able to stop it. The answer lies in being the other way and end the suffering of there citizens and people surrounding them.
