The so called westernization of the Middle East made a huge mistake by not developing a Middle Class. Most of Arabia have appreciated only two classes, the wealthy and the poor. Not to say the wealthy are not generous to the poor, but, the development of the poor culture resulted in hatred of the wealthy by young men.
The future of Arabia is a well developed Middle Class that appreciates the modernization of their culture.
Currently, the reclamation of the ancient identity of the warrior afforded within the Quran, be it right or wrong, is the identity young men appreciate over any work ethic. The Middle Class of any nation holds a strong work ethic to it's identity. The Middle Class reaps the rewards of their work ethic and in that is affordability of education of their children and upward movement is the hope.
I believe 'the warrior culture' of Islamic movements is the only feeling of accomplishment within the current socio-economic cultures in the Middle East. Certainly, Israel doesn't help when it denies land to the Palestinians for their homeland. Women also need to claim their rights of expression to move Arabia forward.
