communications to U.S. Secretary of State, confirmed that Anne W.
Patterson, the top diplomat for the Near East, had indeed met with rep-

Daifallah al-Shami, a senior Houthi official, issued a statement
that his movement would take part – without preconditions – in U.N.-

from Libya to Afghanistan, including Yemen.
Forces of influence in the Arab-Islamic world are capable of
assuming a role in building peace and establishing order on the one
hand while inflicting terrible destruction on these lands on the other.
So enfeebled is the Arab-Islamic world that it has come to look for
peace from countries that stand to benefit economically and politically
from Muslims killing one another. This enormous dichotomy is a clear
sign that any peace established by parties that stand to gain from sell-

vide a permanent solution, but will give birth to new conflicts instead.
The only way of halting the fighting is for the Islamic world to
establish unity based on permanent reconciliation within itself. Let us
not forget that in the Qur'an, God commands Muslims to be united:
" "Those who are unbelievers are the friends and protectors of one
another. If you do not act in this way [be friends and protectors of
one another] there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption."
(Surat al-Anfal, 73)
So how is that unity to come about?
When they look at the seemingly unceasing turmoil and conflict in
the Islamic world, many people think that any agreement or unity in
these lands is a risible suggestion. Yet if the countries of the world can
coalesce around oil, or even football, then Muslims can recall the
words of God and be united as brothers.
For example, in the same way that the European Union is united
