Prince Bandar said it over and over....... we want to modernize, but not to westernize.
That difference is the source of the middle east problems. On the Arabian peninsula there are those that are in fact modernizing and those that resist.
The best example is Usama bin Ladin. He resisted. His family however being great constructors led the way to modernization. They are building the infrastructure for a new society in the western province. For Usama, an engineer, that was intolerable.
The photo is of the skyline of Dubai. The photo is the best illustration available of the desire to modernize. Not only is there the desire, there is the action. Business and prosperity trump fundamentalist Islam. ISIL is dedicated to stopping that effort. ISIL does not represent the vast majority oF Islam that is enjoying better life because of modernization.
