It seems since the Moors got kicked out of Spain, the moslems/muslims have retreated into their own world. Oil gave them clout and Isreal gave them a cause. Charismatic leaders don't seem to make much of a mark unless they are despots like Saddam or terrorists like Osama and Arafat (and Sharon). Clerics seem to rule the roost(s) and they are only interested in subservience from their flocks.
