The summit currently held in the Saudi Arabia can’t be called the Islamic American summit as not all Muslims are represented in it. The absence of Iran despite the victory of Rohani of the reformist movement makes the summit more of a Sunni.

The absent of Iraq and Syria that has strong relations with Iran and its Shiite doctrine proves it is a Sunni summit. Iraq has a Sunni and Shiite government which raises questions about the loyalty of Iraq in case of a war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are two countries with a Shiite people, which makes a war with Iran very confusing for those people who will have to choose between belonging to their homeland or their doctrine? There should be no absolute conflict between the homeland and the sect, but the warlords are trading on this.
Let’s think about billions of dollars that Saudi Arabia willingly pays to America to buy arms. The Jewish son in law of Donald Trump was responsible for such big deal and got a big discount for the benefit of Saudi Arabia in the supply of missile defense system from the US supplier of weapons.
On the other hand, the Saudi Arabia refused to allow a Jewish American reporter in their land, but they wouldn’t do the same if he was on the presidential plane of Trump.
America is receiving 200 billion dollars from Qatar and about 110 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia as part of arms deals. This proves that Trump is fulfilling his promise to make the gulf countries pay for the American protection. Saudi Arabia is really confusing and politics is full of wonders.
