All the discussion about who is right, wo would win etc. aside. Israel should be a big wakeup call to muslim countries. With so little population and surrounded by so many hostile countries, they manage to be so strong and be able to defend themselves.

It is a big shame that many muslim countries are under dysfunctional governments and struggling to make progress so they can’t even protect themselves.

Personally I don’t agree with any kind of war but it is not realistic to expect everything to be fine while fighting inside your country, with a backwards mindset, discussing religion etc. not working honestly and expecting to prosper.

The counterbalance is Turkey at the moment. Saudi Arabia seems to be a careful observer much more interested in business than military conquest and much of the rest of the middle east is already crippled.

Most Muslim countries have horrifically high rates of consanguineous marriage, which directly results in reduced intelligence, increased birth defects, and other worse health outcomes. It also gives rise to dysfunctional, competitive clan structures that fragment and corrupt society: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/cousin-marriage-conu...

These countries will never be competitive and non-dysfunctional until they cut back on the practice.
