I am doubtful that there will be any sort of real coherence of Muslim societies into a single political system run by an elected or non-elected group of leaders.

I think fundamentalism is this radical attitude toward one's own identity and civilization as compared to other people's identities and cultures.

In 1920, the West ruled huge amounts of the world.

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.

Well, I think the United States first of all has to recognize the world for what it is.

Obviously there are divisions within the West and divisions within Islam - there are different sects, different communities, different countries. So neither one is homogenous at all. But they do have things in common.
