It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Muslim or at least Arab countries developing some form of organization comparable to the European Union. I don't think that's very likely, but it conceivably could happen.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

As far as ideology or political beliefs are concerned, countries are very different.

People have multiple identities.

I don't know what will happen 100 years from now.

I think we can expect leaders of Muslim societies to cooperate with each other on many issues just as Western societies cooperate with each other.
