Saudi Arabia have a lot of good stregnths, more than people here would credit them for. However they alone cant become a superpower, nor should we want that. What we need an alliance of islamic nations that collectively form a superpower. something that functions along the lines of the EU/NATO inshAllah.

Saudi Arabia definitely could play a role in that and inshAllah they will. King Abdallah had wanted a Golf union and was very dissapointed withthe other golf nations and seems to have moved away from the GC idea to cooperate with other islamic powers like turkey and egypt. They have asked pakistan to sell them nukes btw.

I think Saudi could offer a lot in terms of petrochemical engineering, mining, telecommunications and other areas. but one nation cannot become a power in this age. To get to the position where we can even build our own fighter jets we would need to go through so many hoops. having civilian space programs would be an excellent start and i think having non military development is the way forward and we shouldnt start defense industries on a large scale until we have developed more. without manfufacturing technology, civilian aircraft, civil engineering etc we cannot hope to build state of the art weaponry that will serve any purpose. we do need to keep buying western technology for the moment unfortunately so that we can preserve our lands whilst we develop them inshallah.

the problem though, is that muslims lack patriorism for our nations. we complain and complain and hate on teh muslim governments. israelis love their nation and work hard for it. if we had that attitude and learned skills and tried to develop our lands we could be so much more inshallah. also salafis love saudi, sufis love turkey etc, which isnt helpful either. all muslims must love all free islamic nations as long as those nations are free to practice islam and are cooperating amongst themselves.

Any nation that isnt working with the rest of the muslim nations and that suppresses islam must be removed inshallah.

Its good to see turkey and saudi working together on freeing syria, im guessing they are hoping for a sunni nation to join their alliance once the fighting is over inshallah. also its good to see egypt meeting with saudi as their first official visit and saudi talking to pakistan about nukes.

i trust mursi and hope when he meets with various muslim rulers he will give them inspiring speeches about the need for unity and cooperation and have a big vision for muslim nations inshallah.

the problem is, it wont matter what saudi does, a lot of muslims will belittle it and attack them. Until we start supporting our lands more i think things wont change.

Imran khan look promising for pakistan, mursi for egypt, tunisia and turkey are ok, as are malaysia, indonesia and malaysia inshallah so if saudi cooperates and works with those nations inshallah we can acheieve something. cooperation on engineering takes time and first we need basic economic integration and also things like one electrical grid, one supertrain going to all muslim lands, a military alliance, a unified currency etc and slowly build up the unity and cooperation inshallah. even europe has only just started allocating various engineeering to various countries rather than repeating the same thing in each country.

we have a lot of graduates, what we lack is projects. so wealthy and well educated western muslims should start businesses in muslims lands working on engineering projects and hire local educated muslimsto get the ball rolling. thats what i plan to do inshallah. and ill work for any of the countries i listed as i seethem as being the countries with good hearts inshallah and a desire to serve the ummah (dispite being imperfect)
