1) The document proposes changing negative mindsets that fuel conflict through a conference bringing together Gulf country leaders. 2) It would define problematic mindsets, identify alternatives, and create a strategy for leadership compliance, media campaigns, and monitoring progress. 3) The goal is to replace beliefs of hatred and mistrust with love and trust, starting in the Gulf and spreading to other Muslim nations and the global community.

3. The War on Terror
• Man against man, brother against brother: A collection of
masterpiece mindsets that will lead us to doomsday unless we act…
– West: “Islam” is the problem
• The Western school of thought assumes that "Islam" is the problem, its
teachings are about violence and "killing" Jews and Christians.
• This mindset is supported by the actions of the uneducated and fanatic
Muslim groups through their irresponsible and illogical actions especially
9/11, bringing the religion and its followers a bad name.
• The West's solution is "fight terror" which is slowly translating to a war
against any and every Muslim who does not subscribe to their concepts -
while their media often badmouths an incorrect image and view of Islam.
– East: “America/Israel” is the problem
• The eastern school of thought assumes that "The West" is out to destroy
their religion and take over their wealth. Besides turn them into moral and
media slaves.
– The World…
• In the process tens of thousands of innocent people are dying and billions
are fed incorrect fanatical ideas by both sides.
• Adding to the hate and misery of the majority of the world’s poor population.
• While adding to the coffers of the “Hate Prophets” and mercenaries on both
sides.

4. Building Collateral
• History teaches us…
…that the most complex of problems, have but
the simplest of solutions
• We need to replace beliefs based on hatred and
mistrust with beliefs based on love and trust
• The methodology is to focus on:
– Gulf Country Leadership
– Expand to Muslim Country Leadership
– Expand to Global Leadership

5. Why?
• The Strategy-The Macro View
– Create an action plan for changing negative beliefs
and mindsets for the East at leadership and mass
communication levels
• Sell the idea to the GCC leadership
– Take it down to province/city/district leadership
– Influence the masses with a media campaign to change the
negative beliefs
• Filter it down to Muslim (non GCC) countries
• Show results in the East, then…
– Expose the idea to the West, solicit assistance of
Western scholars to work on Western mindsets
• Win-Win for everyone!

6. Action Plan-The Macro View
• The world
– Global economic / innovation slowdown
– Ethnic and religious bonding turning into
agendas for hate and intolerance
• The Plan
– Identify the EXACT mindsets harbored by
people of:
• Different ethnic backgrounds
• Different religions
• Replace them with alternate positive
beliefs

7. Micro Action Plan: The Gulf
• Problems
– State Category 1:
• Masses opinions diverge from leadership leading
to internal unrest (KSA and similar)
– State Category 2:
• Leadership is fundamental / hate provoking and
masses are aligned (Iran and similar)

8. Solutions
• Organize a “Change the Global Mindset”
conference in Dubai, UAE
– Dubai is perceived as a liberal Arab / Muslim
state
– It is a hub of intelligentsia activities in the
region
• Invite all leaders and reps of GCC
countries

9. A small step for mankind…
• “Changing the Global Mindset” – a one day workshop of leaders,
THE FIRST STEP
– Define mindsets
– Relate the concept of mindsets to the prevalent Global hate and
intolerance situation
– Identify common Arab / GCC mindsets regarding
• The way they operate internally
• The way they perceive other nations, nationalities and religions
– Analyze the impact of these mindsets on the GCC, and those affected
by it
– Create alternative mindsets to replace the negative mindsets
– Come up with a strategy to:
• Ensure internal compliance of leadership
• Ensure top executive level compliance
• Create a top level team of leaders of intelligentsia and opinion leaders
across major societal segments
• Ensure a media campaign to sell/ persuade the idea to the masses
• Ensure a feedback monitoring and control mechanism to assess compliance
at a national level
• Create subgroups to identify and tackle individual problems that nations face
relating to economy, law and order and other aspects to deliver TEAM
WORK in the true sense
– Review results on a bi annual basis with the GCC leadership
