Don't worry about Islamic nukes. They think they can survive a nuclear exchange. Unfortunately for their plan, war doesn't end with the nuke exchange, that is just the beginning. If it comes down to sticks and swords, well, we can handle that, too.

Arabs NEVER blame themselves for their own problems.

This is a REAL problem in the arab world. It's not so much the question they've been asking for a while now, it's the answer some of them have come up wit,ie. the jews and the crusaders are keeping us down.
There are however some small rays of hope.
