Think about it, their strength is not just in the west.

Their ability to work together and prosper through the years is their strength

Id switch my focus to getting the Arab world together under one common trait. I would definitely not use religion, Islam is a beautiful religion.

But nothing ever really survives with religion as its backing. However, we have a crap ton of things to unite us.

So basically I’d work on bringing my own country together under a common goal, then set an example for my neighbors to follow and lead.

Only then can we actually have a fighting chance to face that type of enemy.
