At the same time that many Muslim states in the M-E and Africa, which have decided to effect the shift from rejection and hatred into peaceful coexistence, by signing the Abrahamic Pact and making up with Israel, with American encouragement, for the sake of peace and prosperity; the weakened West, instead of standing up to radical Islam, by blocking the way to the nuclearization and expansion of Iran, clamping down on the radical Islamic movements like the remnants of al-al-Qa'ida, ISIS and Taliban, and destroying Iran's proxies such as Hamas and Hizbullah, to prevent its sponsorship by both Russia and China, has been capitulating to its menaces and pressures and treating it with silken gloves. The result is that even moderate Muslims who have been giving up on their previous harsh and aggressive avenues, are being intimidated by radicals, in the face of the West's apparent helplessness and disappointing caving in.
