UAE to establish embassy in Tel Aviv

This is continuation of discussion we had on our brother's profile. As I told you, I don't believe UAE is looking for political gain here as they were never part of Arab-Israeli conflict and don't border Israel so it's not like they went from state of war to state of peace, which would be significant. They are also not going to gain much from economic sense or security sense. Israel is known not to use their army in aid of any other nation in the region. They will never deploy outside of Israel unless for training/exercise purposes.

I believe UAE leadership has inferiority complex which is driving them to adopt Western culture and with this step they want to get closer to the Jews who are influential in America. They want more acceptance from America and maybe down the road hoping to be treated like a second Israel.

But, as we know the Lord said the Jews and Nassara will not accept you unless you adopt their ways. Even if you do, the kind of acceptance UAE will get will not parallel to treatment Israel gets.

So, we can say UAE leadership lacks long term vision and thinks the development(culturally , socially) of the region is going to happen from the outside rather from within, which is a major miscalculation and they will pay a price for it.

Going forward for Arab world and general ME region, more fitnah is going to happen because of our misguided leaderships and their supporters. But, people of that region are required to prepare their hearts for aftermath of this fitnah to limit it as much as possible and implement a new vision for region to get back on track.

The part I highlighted is the major issue we have within the Muslim World, often times we are in awe at materialist things of the simplest nature and look at others as better than ourselves. You and I, live in the U.S. we see things daily and we don't have that urge, hence we refrain from certain things, but overseas it's like you punched a hole in the wall.

I was hoping we'd all learn from the fires that have erupted in the Middle East but seems we look at the forest rather than the fire itself. In my view, and I will be honest, the Muslims have lost in this world completely due to incompetent leadership and lack of strategic vision -- and we will be paying for it very dearly down the road, and our generations after us as well. The state of the Muslim World is that of a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, do we deserve it, probably not but we failed ourselves and hence we have to accept the hand that will be dealt to us.

This is true, we live in the US and are used to quality of life and want to experience something new when we plan vacations overseas for more simple style in daily affairs. For them it's opposite like you said which is why I've always felt like they need to allow Western Muslim think tanks and social influencers to play role in their affairs overseas. For us Muslims in the states or in Europe we never really play big role overseas besides donating money to relatives or buying some land here and there. Unlike in Israel where they give American Jews citizenship and American Jews live there temporarily and contribute through other ways.

It's a travesty how our leaders have let us down for what feels like a really long time. I really wish I live to see an era where Muslims world moves into right direction and people will look up to them. It's flipping depressing but I always remind myself that such eras come and go and now isn't our moment. Just how life works I guess.
