Pressure from Natural Gas Now Coming from the North; Not Islam or Middle East

Reader Prashant prompts a speculation for this forum:
As the rest of the world is being mesmerized by the Ukrainian deal gone bad from before the original conflict caused two American presidential terms ago, it now becomes apparent that greater issues are at hand than the upcoming energy crisis which is inconceivably going to take the Middle East from worse to worst and dark forces are in place to require payment for getting everyone one mad at everyone else. Is this caused by Islam?
Does the Iranian Islamic Regime bear any responsibility in bringing the world to its knees in Vienna while everyone else is trying to position themselves to be survivors when the Russians get done(?); or in reality, the Russians are being used just like everyone else in triggering a more catastrophic event horizon in which anyone who thinks they can extract their vision of empire on the backs of others can do so with impunity?
Remember when America was thought to be the only obstacle over which democratic socialistic secularism needed to gain control, vis a vis the current 46th American Administration; but wait, the grip China has there and is seen now on display tells a different story and the scenario settles back to the north of the Middle East?
Some time back, Dr. Pipes speculated with some quite convincing data that Islam was gaining influences from within from Islam and Muslim demographics inherited from those former Islamic republics; and now have the appearance of subliminal conflicts between the former strength of the Russian Christian Orthodoxy and the Middle East's internal imperial desires to rule the ummah. Does it really come back to that; Dr.?
