Here comes the 'Islamic Bomb'-Arabs are jubilant but pissed all the same. Source: The Indian Express Sunday, May 31, 1998 Arab nations rack their brains over Israel's "nuclear threat" REUTERS ÿ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEIRUT, May 30: Pakistan's nuclear tests left bitter political fallout in an Arab world that is frustrated by its own impotence to counter a perceived Israeli nuclear threat. ''In this region Israel alone owns nuclear weapons in the face of Arab failure to keep step and create a nuclear deterrent that could harness (Israel's) power and superiority which is evident in its continued behaviour,'' said Al-Khaleej newspaper in the United Arab Emirates. ''What the issue requires now is a step that would lead to a strategic military balance to support the peace alternative which lacks the elements of power that would support it.'' Those sentiments were underscored by some Arabic newspapers sounding jubilant that a fellow Muslim country like Pakistan could develop nuclear weapons. ''Pakistan is the seventh nuclear power and the first in the Islamic world,''said a front page headline in the influential London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat. While Arabic newspapers sounded frustrated with Israel's militaryprowess, they also accused the international community of double standards in allowing Israel to have nuclear weapons. ''The countries which attacked India for its nuclear explosions retain in their silos thousands of nuclear warheads and do not lift the stick of crude sanctions in the face of Israel, which refuses to sign international treaties and agreements in this regard,'' the Government daily Al-Ahram in Cairo said in a front-page editorial. Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa called on Thursday for a regional nuclear-free zone.
