All is not well in the West

In May 2017, the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates delivered a stark and prescient warning to the Western world. Speaking at a global summit in Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahyan made a show of switching to English to issue his message, to ensure nothing was lost in translation: “There will come a day that we will see far more radical extremists and terrorists coming out of Europe,” he said, attributing this predicted outcome to “lack of decision-making, trying to be politically correct, or assuming that [Westerners] know the Middle East, and they know Islam, and they know the others far better than we do.”
