"Arab leaders worry more about making money from the profits they get from oil and gas that they turn the other way when Lebanon is being destroyed right next to them. Their neighbours are being murdered, but they only make calculations for their own benefit"

- Abu Bakar Bashir

About this Quote

This quote by Abu Bakar Bashir is a criticism of Arab leaders who prioritize their own financial gain over the well-being of their neighbors. He is recommending that Arab leaders are more interested in generating income from the earnings of oil as well as gas than they are with the damage of Lebanon, which is appropriate next to them. He indicates that these leaders are only looking out for their very own rate of interests and also not thinking about the suffering of their neighbors. This quote is a pointer that leaders should be held liable for their actions and that they should be a lot more conscious of the repercussions of their choices. It is a phone call to action for Arab leaders to take duty for their neighbours as well as to put the requirements of their people initially.
