How To Overcome Islam And The Challenges Of The Middle East

By Larry King


The Middle East is a diverse region when it comes to economics which includes countries with a certain heritage at various stages of its economic development. Despite considering all the economic reforms in various countries and a great success in keeping its stability, any nation still experiences a lot of problems and challenges.

Some challenges in the East include foreign intervention, terrorism, extremism, and authoritarianism, civil war, and corruption. All of those are both confusing and horrifying, With so many problems and issues, it is quite difficult to identify where to start the process and address them. Of course, other countries are playing a vital role in the process. Typically, there are particular things to know about the Islam and the challenges of the middle east.

Violence is one of the common problems in a nation. It is considered as a public health concern. It shows that the first reaction to all problems that arise in the East is violence to kill. Aside from that, the concept of honor is another problem from the culture. Based on their culture, No Muslim accepts humiliation and those being humiliated will seek vengeance against people who caused them shame and that vengeance means murdering someone.

Another problem that any nation faces nowadays is corruption. Appointing a relative or family member to positions in a nation or also called as favoritism is known as a serious issue and there are rules and laws that could have been implemented to prevent such occurrence. On the other hand, economic corruption is quite rampant these days.

Basically, any government official may feel indebted in terms of financial aspects not to his country and people but to his family or tribe. Actually, this is now a common problem that is quite difficult to address. There are leaders that allocate funds for building structures where his supporters live. But he will never allocate funds to the group that did not support and help him.

Another problem is the religion. Actually, Islam is the major religion in the East. But activists see other religious groups as nonbelievers. This is actually the primary reason for violence rates to increase. However, every country is different, specifically if the nation has their own beliefs and rules in religion.

Also, the world today has several problems and challenges. The crime problems give the citizens sleepless nights. In most places, people are afraid to walk around the neighborhood because their lives are in danger along their way. Public safety is now at risk. One cause of crime is the drug trade. Basically, people engage in these bad activities because they lack opportunities.

One reason is unemployment. For that reason, the government needs to address the concerns of his country. The security system must be taken into consideration as well. This is because kidnapping is growing. They kidnapped children for money because they lack employment opportunities.

Some countries are having a hard time to improve because of these concerns. However, if those issues are properly addressed, with the joint effort of both the government and the civilians, everything is possible and peace will reign.
