Question

How does culture influence politics and security issues in the Middle East? Please provide specific examples.

Answer 1

We are well aware of the fact the Middle East is the land with predominant Muslims. Their culture and tradition are completely different from any dominant religion in this world. The culture strongly believes that justice should be delivered in all actions as per humanity and the will of God. Any injustice happening which is immoral as per society must be immediately addressed and rectified. Here all sections within the Muslims, both major and minor strongly believe in this ideology. This is the one creating an issue in politics and security. With respect to politics and security, each ruler under monarchy will have a set of rules as per his interpretation of culture which might be understood differently by a few among the public and would like to have a change. Unfortunately, if they realize that their voice is not heard, they would create leaders and influence the majority as to dethrone the ruler or government. This is the one that leads to a chaotic civil war within the country. Examples include happenings in many middle eastern countries where a civil war happens between two sections of people living in a country leading to absolute destruction of local government and power coming to the hands of those winning the civil war. Political security of a country truly depends on the ruling party which could be different based on the mission of the party coming into power.
