Forgive me Brother, but if you are only interested in dealing with people with same Language as yours ( Arabic ) and same ethnicity as yours ( Arab ), then what you are really saying is that you couldn't care less about the rest of the MUSLIM WORLD. So if Arab Nationalism is your passion and you don't feel a bond with rest of the Muslims like Pakistanis , Iranians , Turks, Malaysians, Indonesians, Bangladeshis, Indian Muslims, African Muslims ( non Arabic ) then you can be on your merry way and enjoy your Arab league ( which has same language and ethnicity) and we too will leave you alone.
In-fact man I find Turkey as the most important country in this region , but they are more interested in join the EU , if Turkey wishes to become one day part of a gathering with GCC they are more than welcome.
Pakistan has its own pathway with China and is not interested in the middle east anyway but again I would be more than happy to have them with us " if pakistan wanted " but again you have your own interests and pathway .
Malaysia and Indonesia are already part of " ASEAN " and do not have interest in this region.
I am referring to countries whom are already our neighbours and share borders with us . Egyptians and Jordanians have always been close to the GCC countries and live here with us for ages .
As for " islamic empire " i do not believe in the mix of state and religion , does not really work and anyway people panic when a Gulf Arab like myself speaks about " islamic brotherhood " and start calling me wahabi and all that weird sorts of names.
