Think of it like this. With Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and counting falling out of the commodities import sector, countries such as NZ (its dairy sector especially) are taking a hit for the moment. Iran has come back on stream but unlike the ones I mentioned, is much more innovative and less dependent, is undergoing reform and thus is a WIP.
In a nutshell, post colonial Islam is undergoing a seismic shift in how we trade and profit from them which in turn affects us, and China and all the rest. In this planetary merry go round, new forms of business relationship emerge as countries such as India, Russia and Cuba, (the first two formerly at the mercy of the now hobbled Saudi empire) rise in the ranks, creating new secular opportunities for global capitalists.
All it needs now is for us to formalise the divorce with Islam.
