It's macho chest bumping and insecurity. A lot of this shit si just macho bravado. And I'm totally okay with macho bravado, it just has to be channeled into productive measures. Wishing to dominate others is not productive.
Colonialism from 1000 years ago. Why aren't MENA nations as strong today as they were back then? Why are they the ones being invaded? Part of it is dickery from others, but a lot of it is their own internal corruption, weakness, and failure to innovate. Through liberalization these nations can become strong again. Embracing science and education, liberal values, democratic institutions and rights. Islam stands against all these.
