I may be pessimistic... But I'm not really sure the incoming decade or 2 gonna be "peaceful"...
Those who were holding total power... are little by little falling... and as History said " Kings never fall alone..."
Well, we should be more optimistic since we have God besides us. You are living in a western world so I think you dont see changes that happen in a Muslim community. Just look to Turkey, the most secular society in Muslim world but now is ruled by Islamist party.
I am optimistic about Indonesia and I can see more religious leader who is going to be much better in managing our country is about to come in 2024, inshaAllah. He has been seen as the most popular candidate according to recent survey and now is a governor of West Java, a region who are famous as strong hold of conservative Muslim along with Sumatra, South Sulawesi, and NTB islands.
Yes you are right.
That is why I said the start will be now and the recent conference in Malaysia was the start of the formation of the block in my opinion. There is no official block as such of course.
Most important thing is technology as without that you are nothing.
Turkey, Iran and Indonesia are ahead of the others in technology with Turkey in the lead there.
Once we have a large Muslim country like Turkey that is fully industrialised(around 2030) then this will change the rules of the game as Muslims will have access to nearly all civilian and military tech from Turkey.
Main thing is that it is realistic for Muslims to become a nearly self-contained block like EU by 2040 - ambitious but doable.
Turkey and Iran have leaders who are ambitious enough to develop indigenous technology. I have said in previous thread that Indonesia current leader is still less ambitious about advancing our technology. But I hope the condition will start to be different after 2024.
