Interesting article and very interesting post, Hax.

I'm by no means an expert on Islam, I'm still working hard to understand my own faith in a deeper way but what Hax suggests does sound logical. The inferiority complex the author claims makes more sense as a thing of traditional Arab countries. I can certainly say that it isn't (at least not visibly) present in my Muslim friends as they are living in countries that weren't traditionally following Islam. I mean the whole idea of connecting my identity with the islamic nationalism makes no sense when I don't have a real bond with an islamic nation.

Following the money, the more extreme followers are in the oil rich countries. With exported oil funded hardline schools the beliefs have spread. However the leaders in the oil rich countries want control of the wealth, they will not want a USA... United States of Arabia and give up their oil rich lifestyles.

Turkey which has wealth not based on oil can be seen to be a different culture. I'd say the difference is that for Turkey's wealth it relies on a more educated populace as does Tunisa. Education does not make a despots day as the educated are far more rebellious and organised.
