It started after WWI. After the Arabs rebelled against the Ottoman Caliphate. Of course inspired, by "Lawrence of Arabia" that they would be guaranteed their independence if they rebel. So the Arabs rebelled against the Ottomans till it's fall in 1924.

The British choose too put some of the rich Arab tribal leaders in charge of their new "countries". Out of the old Ottoman territories were carved: Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, UAE and Bahrain.


The Americans quickly realized that the majority of the world's oil comes from this part of the world. So quickly the Americans went. Iraq rebelled against American's wishes. So when Iraq wanted to invade Kuwait, America quickly went to aid it's friend. Or else do you would lose about 8% of their annual oil.

The gulf then invested in America's ever flowing economy to the point that when this current recession happened, the stocks of the gulf crashed very deeply.

And of course, America is aware that the Gulf is in their pockets. That's why every US president must go and kiss the Arab leaders.


Just a quick look at the largest Arab country in the gulf tells a lot:

"Saudi Arabians have allocated an estimated 60% of their global investments to the United States through passive and direct investments. This commitment has enabled the United States to finance an ongoing trade deficit and produce new economic growth opportunities."

And of course America has to defend their oil:



The Gulf: America's 51 st state.

its not like the ottomans were oppressing them or anything

i actually remember something from that movie lawrence of arabia .. something like"they are turks and you are arabs" from one of the brits ...

that movie SUCKED btw ...

Yeah, the great Arabs of Arabia. Look at them kissing America's shoes today.

Thank you Arabs for putting more money into America's pockets.

and they decided to listen to that british dude instead of prophet Muhammad (saw) who said everybody is equal regardless of skin color except in piety ... great job

lol at the obama pic ....

And they took the West as Awliya ...to this day. Hasbiya Allah Wa Ne3ma AL Wakeel.

And they have the guts to even say something to Egypt. Hahaha.

Oh let's not forget the American military bases there.

Its all over the gulf. Esp. next to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar:



The Americans have to protect their oil you know.

Egypt doesn't have a single American or Western military base.

kuwait is just a giant military base O.o and at pakistan having them ... iran and syria dont have nay either too so stop boasting

You don't get it. Gman constantly said that "Arabs hate us because we have relations with israel" .

I am proving that this is BS.

First of all this relation with israel is just a peace treaty. Nothing more. It just means we won't fight (till the time comes).

And secondly Im proving that how the great Arabian gulf is much worst than Egypt in every way so they should STFU.

Also Umar (ra) called Bilal (ra, who was African) "our chief" .. refuting that noob brit racist in the movie lol ...

I think the Arabs are the main reason for the downfall of the Ummah. All that money that they are pouring into Uncle Sam's pockets come from the MUSLIM resources. Anything from those lands are ALL MUSLIM resources and they should not tamper with them without the consent of all the Muslims.

dude ur being extreme here .. ur acting like there r no business transactions between Muslims and non Muslims... perhaps they should use their resources, the gazillion barrels of oil, more wisely instead of building expensive, lavish palaces and end their servitude of America ... u cant blame America for their incompetence ...

Read my post carefully. I said the MUSLIM (ALL) should be on CONSENT of how the gulf uses its resources. Just like the Kaaba belongs to all the Muslims for example.
I never blamed America. I am blaming the gulf.

Of course when the Iraqi leader, annoyed the USA a bit by declaring that they will soon take off their currency from the dollar, it got declared war on.

@ saudis sucking up to da west
a friend of mine went to saudi to do a Omrah 2 weeks ago... he got arrested for dissing da king

First Saudi King:

The history of royal decadence is traced by Aburish to the British-backed formation of the state 60 years ago by the first king, Ibn Saud, who boasted that he had never seen the faces of the legion of women he had bedded. On the founding monarch, Aburish is a strong corrective to British Arabists such as Harry St. John Philby, who romanticized Ibn Saud as a noble desert warrior. Thug would be a better description.

The West knows that the gulf is in their pockets:

Aburish argues that the West is foolish in viewing the House of Saud as a bulwark of stability in the Middle East, maintaining that the country is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. He contends there is a growing and concerted opposition in the kingdom to Saud rule from a rising pro-Western new class of graduates. "Saudi Arabia is a country where old men pray five times a day while their sons listen to the Rolling Stones," writes Aburish, who predicts that in 1997 or shortly thereafter a vengeful Islamic regime will replace the House of Saud, dramatically increase the price of oil, trigger a world depression and prompt a major war between the Muslim world and the West.
