Soul-searching needed

For several decades, Muslims in the subcontinent have extended unconditional support to their Arab brothers, but what have they received in return? Saudi Arabia, the "icon" of the Muslim world, exported radical Islamism to the whole world, and is currently promoting sectarian divisions among Muslims while covertly supporting Israel against its feud with Iran. Is this not ironic? Subcontinent Muslims get emotional when talking about their "Arab brothers". But they are regarded less than human by the so-called leaders of the Arab world. We need serious soul-searching before providing unconditional support to the Arab world in the name of brotherhood.
