This showdown is eventually going to occur. Just as sure as there is a God in Heaven.
Why wait to their advantage?

Thats what i thought too - i'm not religious so i am looking with non-biased eyes, Sarah offers her maidservant Hagar to bear a child to Abram, then doesn't like it when it happens - (Jealous although but even worse because from her own doing):
"01:021:009 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had
born unto Abraham, mocking.
01:021:010 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and
her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with
my son, even with Isaac.
01:021:011 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of
his son.
01:021:012 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight
because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that
Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in
Isaac shall thy seed be called.
01:021:013 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation,
because he is thy seed. "
So, listening to god and to please Sarah he casts her out.... i dont like Sarah already, poor Hagar. any and so it goes.......................
"01:021:014 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and
a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her
shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed,
and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
01:021:015 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child
under one of the shrubs.
01:021:016 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way
off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the
death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up
her voice, and wept.
01:021:017 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God
called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth
thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad
where he is.
01:021:018 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will
make him a great nation.
01:021:019 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she
went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad
drink.
01:021:020 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the
wilderness, and became an archer.
01:021:021 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took
him a wife out of the land of Egypt."
See that doesn't make sense does it - God being moral and all that, theres got to be a twist to it - Hagars vengenace perhaps?? If i didn't know better - i's say 'God' was playing both sides of against each other deliberately

The West has exploited Muslims?
Let me clue you in. The West came into the region, spent a lot of money, discovered oil, drilled that oil, provided the infrastructure to move and store and transport that oil, making a lot of camel-herding goat-ass-shavers a lot of money.
If not for Westerners, the people of the ME would still be living in primitive conditions and tents, scratching their asses left-handed while chewing on a mutton sandwich, betting on goat races while washing down the dust with a goat-skin canteen.
So when you look around the Middle East, and you see the advances and splendor, you thank your moon-god for the disbelieving Westerners who made it all possible.
The Saudi's for example, don't want to work, won't work, and have become as close to full-bodied paraplegics as have ever existed. They're just too good for work.
Hope the oil holds out, and new technologies don't have a breakthrough.
Because then it's back to primitive tribal warfare, as you have nothing, and I mean nothing else to offer humanity.
