Some stats about the Arab nations. The ones usually referred to as such, but sorry, I don't have the complete list.
Muslims count more, but the USA does not have trouble with much of those.
They are 11
They count about as many ppl as the USA
Their eco system is roughly as big as Spain's
Their literacy level and book publishing/translation level is very very low. Mostly due to under-education of women.
This is all so silly. There are peaceful muslim nations, where standards are higher.
If those people had a different setup, they might be allies.
But, so it is, what we learn from history is just that we don't learn from it.
