So what?
There is no 'running' .....Mutual benefits of elites. Petro Dollar system benefits American elite AND Saudi elite.
But that is not even the topic. I'm talking in regards to civilizational and cultural spread and you are talking in regards to temporary power politics.
The fact is that Islamic Civilization established itself in the heart of Europe with
tens of millions of Muslim Europeans. West couldn't do even a iota compared to that in Islamic World.
Cultural influence and interaction is one thing, and has been going on since forever (For example, Pakistanis eating McDonalds..Americans eating Kababs etc)...but
physical presence of Islamic Civilization in the heart of West is a fact now. No such thing when it comes to Western Civilization in Islamic World.
Here's a food for though...
- In 1900, West barely had any mosques...now it has
thousands of them.
- In 1900, Westerners didn't had any idea what 'Hijab' was...now it is a common site for Western citizens, Western universities etc.
- In 1900, Western masses had no idea what Halal food meant..now, there is a thriving halal industry throughout West...
- In 1900, West didn't even have a clue what Ramadan is, now you have special Ramadan programming on U.K television. Empire State building turns green marking the start of Ramadan and so on.
- In 1900, West didn't have any clue what "Islamic Finance" was, now--UK's prime-minister wants to make his capital the "capital of Islamic Finance"---since his capital has such a big market of Islamic peoples...
In short, the rival global civilization spread and established itself in the heart of West...with tens of millions of people in the Western heartlands having Islamic worldview, practicing/spread Islamic culture, building Islamic architecture, bringing Islamic traditions, foods, and dresses in, and integrating in the wider society while keeping their unique Islamic identity/culture -----hence, making Islam an inevitable
civilizational reality in the West on
physical, permanent level. So much so, that Germany is now talking about having classes on Islam in public schools for 'better cohesion' of German society...
A big Mashallah to all of that...
Can you show me any such physical spread of Western World into the realm of Islam? No where.
All you can show is Western brands and business relations..and that has been going on since centuries..not only with west..but with China, India, Far East as well. But there is no physical, permanent presence of Western Civilization spanning
tens of millions in heartland Islamic Lands .
While on the other hand

There's no way around what I have said above.
haha..the very fact that you'll bring OCD, angry, and butthurt type words into response shows how pathetically insecure you are. Dude, this is an online forum. No one here takes words to the heart and think about them all day...except may be sad dudes living empty lives such as yourself.
I surely have more relevance than someone from Swizterland. Your nation is so irrelevant that even Hitler...even Hitler...bypassed it and didn't invade.
I live in America..the country to which entire Europe is prostitute. I will come at you from the position of relevance and power.
Evidence?
All what I've said are facts and stated so by Western information agencies (Increasing mosques, more girls wearing Hijabs than ever, Halal meat industry growing more so than ever, Western brands now coming up with 'Islamic Clothing', Islamic Finance growing in Western world in ever so increasing manner, number of mosques increasing, and so on and on).
All signs...all the data..shows only one thing: Presence of Islamic Culture and Civilization has not only been consolidated in the heart of West...it has been increasing even further!
Even non-practicing peoples from Islamic background identify with Islamic Culture, stand up for Islamic causes, and take part in issues with their own perspective.
For example, I know many not-so-practicing Muslims who go tooth and nail on Israel-Palestine issue..educated their peers about Palestinian suffering..and fight for the civil rights of Muslims in America/Europe.
This shows that even members who you will not regard as 'visible' Muslims act in a way that reflects the presence of another civilization in the midst of West...
GOOD.
Radicalization is worse for us than for you.
