The economy of the non-gas/oil exporting countries of the Arab world is larger or of similar size to the economy of Turkey, Iran and Israel combined. To compare those countries with the entire Arab world is moronic. Let me remind you of the fact that the GCC alone has a bigger economy than all 3 countries combined. There is a gap today but that gap won't exist in the future. Simple demographics will ensure that. Look at the rise of other hugely populated regions and countries. Where was China 60 years ago or India? Much worse off than the current status quo in the Arab world.

As for dominating, no regional power is able or going to dominate any single Arab country that is not divided in itself (locals divided) or at war. Once Iraq stabilizes for instance no regional power is going to dominate them.

Arabs are already the strongest on most fronts despite being in one of our worst moments in history so think about what it will be once things will improve which they will coupled with the demographics and future economic prognosis and an almost unlimited talent pool of people who only need the right structure and environment to flourish in.

Regional anti-Arabs will be miserable for a long time in the future. Let them "enjoy" the few conflicts currently while our numbers grow while theirs decrease in comparison and while our economies improve and grow despite being at our worst and despite all obstacles which are not comparable in any of those 3 countries. One of which is tiny Israel which is 50% Arab already ethnically already as 21% of the population is Palestinian Arab and around 66% of all Israeli Jews being Arab Jews originally from Arab countries.

Anyway this source is Jewish. Of course most of the Arab Jewish lot is a bunch of self-hating individuals trying to prove their "Jewishness" by being anti-Arab due to the Palestinian conflict.

I sincerely hope that your prediction come true.

I think Saudi Arabia or Egypt is the strongest Arab country.

Most probably Saudi Arabia is the strongest arab country politically and ideologically.

You cannot compare a religiously, culturally, politically, historically, linguistically and geographically diverse and unhomogeneous group with clashing regional interests like the Arab countries with an individual and unified nation like China. Does not work.

Some of your "siblings" would even chose Turkey or Iran over every single GCC member state. There is also no unity among the GCC states.

Non-Arabs talking about internal Arab affairs that they have no clue about. Cute and typical of PDF. Also Arabs will never prefer foreigners over their brethren outside of a tiny minority of misguided individuals who can be found in every ethnic group. Let alone Iranians of all people (good joke) and to a lesser degree Turks, in particular Kemalists or "Ottomanists" who believe that Islamic history began in 1517.

As for the GCC it is the by far most powerful economic, political and military bloc in the region. In fact there are no other economic, political and military blocs that are even remotely comparable.

I sincerely hope that your prediction come true.

It will.

The Arabs need to unite if they seriously want to stop being exploited by the neo-Ottoman Turks and neo-Safavid Persians. But Arab unity is easier said than done, for a number of reasons that I've explained many times before on this forum.

In spite of the obstacles to Arab unity, a unified Arab state/polity is the only way the Arabs can reassert themselves in the Middle East and stop playing second fiddle to the megalomaniacal dreams of the Iranian mullahs and the sultan wannabe, Erdogan.

As for future trends, I agree with Sargon of Akkad that the future belongs to the Arabs, in particular the Iraqi Arabs. They're going to swamp the region in fact lol. Iraq's population will reach 100 million sometime in the 21st century. Turkey has already undergone rapid economic growth in the previous decade. The countries that have a lot of economic potential right now are Egypt and Iraq.

There is a caveat when it comes to demographics though. By the end of the 21st century, all countries and nationalities around the world will be experiencing population decline. That said, the population decline in countries like Turkey and Iran will be occurring at a far greater pace than in the Arab countries.
