$380 billion Saudi-US agreements

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a series of agreements amounting to $380 billion in his Saudi Arabia visit. He did not refer to any of the Islamophobic speeches we frequently heard during his election campaign. 

The U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Gulf countries are in a very strong alliance. On the other hand, there is the Russia, Iran and Syria bond. 

Trump and the Saudis chided Iran; in return, Iran blamed Trump of "arming terrorists." It was apparent that with "terrorists" they meant Wahhabi Saudis.  

Upon this, Saudis said the Iranian revolution was the source of terror; before that there were no terror organizations such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). 

How should we view this picture? How about shouting: "Down with imperialism; down with Zionism," or something? Or maybe we should say: "Hey Muslims wake up; they are exploiting you." 

I suggest that, apart from these slogans, we should see these facts: Muslims constitute one fourth of the world population and - except for oil - they only are contributing to 5.6 percent of the world's production. 

Muslims' share in world technology exportation is only 4 in a thousand. Their share in world oil exports is 36 percent. Roughly, they spend one third of their oil revenues for armament.  Against whom? Well, against each other. 

The Nobel science prizes have been given for 114 years. Only three Muslim scientists have won the award, one of them being Professor Aziz Sancar. The number of Jews who have won Nobel prizes is more than 100. I took this data from Özcan Kadıoğlu's article on Daily Dünya on May 24. 

How about law, democracy and justice? Like communicating vessels, whatever the level of security of law and freedom...
