From Turkey to Indonesia the westernmost and easternmost Muslim majority countries and the richest. I predict that once Indonesia and Turkey continues their amazing development, we will see increased cooperation between these two countries. And their function will be like USA's. Raise the Muslim world and unite them. Via top notch motorways that stretches from Turkey to Bangladesh, seaways and airways. This is not a far fetched vision, this is where we are heading towards inshallah. Technologically and educationally Turkey and Indonesia are making incredible progress. Once Egypt becomes a true democracy i am sure they will follow us and the other Arab nations will follow them.

Wish you guys the best of luck. United you can become a regional power and with the amount of resources that you have you can certainly aim to exert your influence abroad as well. I am guessing there will be issues in Bahrain though at such a unification.

Remember brother when u have a sound Job and a happy family most of this radical thinking stops and u start working as a Human
A $20 billion project has been initiated to make jobs in less developed of GCC like Bahrain and Oman

and this will definitely bring a Change for a Better tomorrow.

I would like to see FIVE Big Arab and NonArab blocks.

1. KSA, Yemen, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine.

2.Egypt, Libya. Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.

3. Subsaharan Muslim Countries.

4. Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Krgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.

5. Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Borneo.

These 5 blocks should have their own Defence pacts and there should be a common weapons and defence Production capability.

You mean Brunei?

There will be an Arab Union like a EU...inshaALLAH

GCC banks remained resilient during recent global financial crisis, says RAM Ratings

RAM Ratings has published a Standpoint Commentary on the banking sector of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies with a special focus on the top 20 banks in the region by asset size. In this publication, RAM Ratings has reviewed the 20 largest GCC banks by asset size, representing about 57% of the region’s total banking assets. The study has revealed that the GCC banks had remained resilient during the recent global financial crisis, thanks to various government measures to protect the respective systems.

The publication forms part of our efforts to continuously expand on our coverage in the GCC.

Throughout the economic crisis, RAM Ratings has observed a clear trend of government support and commitment to their respective banking systems manifested through outright capital injections, conversions of government deposits into capital, or via deposit or loan guarantees.

But saudi arabs are lazy and good for nothing?

Why should Arabs call themselves along the same lines as, or compare themselves with, devilish Western countries? They have been taught about the perfect code of life already many centuries ago, and there were many salient examples of luminaries that lived lives according to the dignified way of life that has been completed and perfected by the Creator.

GCC ISLAMIC Banking

Islamic banking assets set to hit $1.1trn in 2012

The oil-exporting countries of the Middle East are enjoying strong economic growth, whereas countries that experienced political uprisings during the Arab Spring of 2011 are struggling to get back on track or are still experiencing hostilities. In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, increased bank lending and higher consumer spending are adding to the forward economic momentum created by massive government spending programs.

Maybe they can later join the greater GCC along with Egypt and the rest of the Levant.

That would really be a strong power don't you think??

Not really. Just like the EU, the bigger they get, the weaker they become. Lets focus on our pesky neighbors.
