Muslim Countries Choosing Pathological Anti-Semitism Over Capitalism

There are really smart anti-war libertarians who - while harboring no delusions about the threat of political Islam - think that we should approach the Muslim world by overwhelming it with capitalism. The neo-conservative response is that fanatic ideology trumps even the lure of consumerism. This is what academics like to call an empirical question:
Bahrain's parliament is pressing the Gulf Arab emirate's government to reopen the country's Israel Boycott Office, which was closed two years ago under pressure from Washington. Prior to its closure, the boycott office had overseen government efforts to bar entry to Israeli-made goods in accordance with the Arab League's economic and trade embargo against the Jewish state. At a meeting held late last week, the legislature's committee on foreign affairs, defense and national security also called for an end to all formal contacts with the Jewish state. "Now that the committee has agreed on reopening the office, we request the Foreign Ministry to support the decisions by the representatives of the people and to put an end to all forms of contact between Bahrain and the Zionist entity," committee chairman Adel al-Mouawda said, according to Gulf News.
Technology plus pathological ideology inevitably equals technology in the service of pathological ideology.
