Right, naturally the all powerful World Muslim Conspiracy will finally achieve what they haven't in 1400 years. Because... ?
Damn those sly Muslims for having the nerve to occupy our oil! Wait.. not "our" oil, since the part of the West I call home is a net energy exporter and doesn't need their oil (rendering it meaningless as any kind of bargaining chip). I don't think Russia is particularly dependent on ME oil either so you must mean the US, since its the US that consumes something like 25% of the world's fossil fuels (while having very little relative capacity of its own anymore). But where does the US import all its oil from? The ME of course! Wrong. #1 source is Canada; #2 is Venezuela; since neither country is "Muslim" maybe you can see the pattern there (hint: #3 is not Saudi Arabia either).
So by your reasoning its actually Canada and Venezuela that control the UN (since these 2 countries are the largest exporters to the world's largest oil consumer and sole superpower). Nice theory AL. Of course that's absurd, but that just makes your reasoning all the more amusing. Even with Canada's other tremendous natural resources, that are not abundant in the ME (hydroelectricity, agriculture, lumber, minerals, etc) we can't even resolve our simple trade dispute with the US over softwood lumber.
But, really, what does this single natural resource mean when compared to the fact that all the Veto holders possess tremendous conventional and nuclear military capability, diverse natural resources of their own, treaties among them like NATO, the world's largest financial institutions, the only commodity exchanges where oil is traded, the only currency that oil is traded in, etc? Not much really eh.

Yep. The Muslims just can't get their way. Tsk.

And if they do try and organize any collective voice it means they're conspiring to take over the world rather than look out to their own interests (you know... like the rest of us do).
