West Cannot Control Resurgent Islam
(Jerusalem Post) Ariel Ben Solomon - World powers cannot "control the scope and nature of resurgent Islam, are too timid to go all the way with Iran, restrain Turkey's resurgent neo-Islamism or even to force the Palestinians to accept Israel's existence," said Middle East Quarterly editor Prof. Efraim Karsh, a Middle East scholar at King's College in London. "So, in the final account, the staying and/or disintegration of certain states will depend on how well these states handle their formidable challenges, not what the West does or does not do."
