The War on Terror

• Man against man, brother against brother: A collection of masterpiece mindsets that will lead us to doomsday unless we act…– West: “Islam” is the problem

• The Western school of thought assumes that "Islam" is the problem, its teachings are about violence and "killing" Jews and Christians.

• This mindset is supported by the actions of the uneducated and fanatic Muslim groups through their irresponsible and illogical actions especially 9/11, bringing the religion and its followers a bad name.

• The West's solution is "fight terror" which is slowly translating to a war against any and every Muslim who does not subscribe to their concepts -while their media often badmouths an incorrect image and view of Islam.

– East: “America/Israel” is the problem• The eastern school of thought assumes that "The West" is out to destroy

their religion and take over their wealth. Besides turn them into moral and media slaves.

– The World…• In the process tens of thousands of innocent people are dying and billions

are fed incorrect fanatical ideas by both sides.

• Adding to the hate and misery of the majority of the world’s poor population.

• While adding to the coffers of the “Hate Prophets” and mercenaries on both sides.

Building Collateral

• History teaches us…

…that the most complex of problems, have but

the simplest of solutions

• We need to replace beliefs based on hatred and

mistrust with beliefs based on love and trust

• The methodology is to focus on:

– Gulf Country Leadership

– Expand to Muslim Country Leadership

– Expand to Global Leadership

Why?

• The Strategy-The Macro View

– Create an action plan for changing negative beliefs

and mindsets for the East at leadership and mass

communication levels

• Sell the idea to the GCC leadership

– Take it down to province/city/district leadership

– Influence the masses with a media campaign to change the

negative beliefs

• Filter it down to Muslim (non GCC) countries

• Show results in the East, then…

– Expose the idea to the West, solicit assistance of

Western scholars to work on Western mindsets

• Win-Win for everyone!

Action Plan-The Macro View

• The world

– Global economic / innovation slowdown

– Ethnic and religious bonding turning into agendas for hate and intolerance

• The Plan

– Identify the EXACT mindsets harbored by people of:

• Different ethnic backgrounds

• Different religions

• Replace them with alternate positive beliefs

Micro Action Plan: The Gulf

• Problems

– State Category 1:

• Masses opinions diverge from leadership leading

to internal unrest (KSA and similar)

– State Category 2:

• Leadership is fundamental / hate provoking and

masses are aligned (Iran and similar)

Solutions

• Organize a “Change the Global Mindset”

conference in Dubai, UAE

– Dubai is perceived as a liberal Arab / Muslim

state

– It is a hub of intelligentsia activities in the

region

• Invite all leaders and reps of GCC

countries

A small step for mankind…• “Changing the Global Mindset” – a one day workshop of leaders,

THE FIRST STEP– Define mindsets

– Relate the concept of mindsets to the prevalent Global hate and intolerance situation

– Identify common Arab / GCC mindsets regarding• The way they operate internally

• The way they perceive other nations, nationalities and religions

– Analyze the impact of these mindsets on the GCC, and those affected by it

– Create alternative mindsets to replace the negative mindsets

– Come up with a strategy to:• Ensure internal compliance of leadership

• Ensure top executive level compliance

• Create a top level team of leaders of intelligentsia and opinion leaders across major societal segments

• Ensure a media campaign to sell/ persuade the idea to the masses

• Ensure a feedback monitoring and control mechanism to assess compliance at a national level

• Create subgroups to identify and tackle individual problems that nations face relating to economy, law and order and other aspects to deliver TEAM WORK in the true sense

– Review results on a bi annual basis with the GCC leadership

in positive change
