If you wear a crown be prepared to lose your head.

Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai has written an article on how the ideology of the Islamic State is going to be the " greatest danger that the world will face in the next decade." " Our region is home to more than 200 million young people. We have the opportunity to inspire them with hope and to direct their energies towards improving their lives and the lives of those around them," he writes. But how? With titles the length of a human arm have you any idea as to what the youth of your countries really want? One thousand ordinary people could not earn the price of one of your luxury yachts in their lifetimes and the comfortable life of any one of the horses at your Godolphin Stables will surpass that of 99% of your people. People of London gaze in awe as Arab playboys fly in their luxury cars with them while they spend their the summer holidays in Britain. You say that the IS ideology " with its twisted religious overtones......carries with it the power to mobilise thousands of desperate, vindictive, or angry young people and use them to strike at the foundations of civilisation." But why are your young people so angry that they are willing to die for the IS cause and so full of hate that they are ready to commit any atrocity on innocent human beings? The bestiality on display in the Middle East on a daily basis is incomprehensible elsewhere in the world. Your suggested solution is to improve services, such as education and health, eliminate poverty and encourage sustainable development so as to " inspire them with hope and to direct their energies towards improving their lives and the lives of those around them." What all of us want. But the question is - if you know all that is required why have you not delivered them till now? The region in floating on a sea of oil and earns hundreds of billions of dollars from it. Why then do you still have poverty? You know that terrorists are financed from the sale of oil by the ruling families in the Gulf who are your friends and maybe related to you. Finally, you want to counter the IS ideology by your " Islamic religion which calls for peace, honours life, values dignity, promotes human development, and directs us to do good to others." What you forget to mention is that all the good intentions are for Muslims only and then only for Sunnis and do not apply to kafirs, infidels or Shias. Saudi Arabia is the top financier of terrorists all over the world and the King wanted the US to destroy Iran, a Shia state. So, remember that you cannot have selective terrorism, it will come back to you, and if you wear a crown someone is sure to want your head. You will find the solution only if you learn to face the truth.
