The heads of Arab League countries meeting in Egypt have agreed to create a joint Arab military force.

The League has been meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh amid a crisis in Yemen and the threat of jihadists who have made major gains in Iraq, Syria and Libya.

However, establishing the make-up and remit of the force could take months, analysts say.

A 10-nation, Saudi-led coalition is currently carrying out air strikes against rebels in Yemen.

Where does Turkey stand relative to this coalition? I would suppose that it supports the coalition, but how extensively?

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Obama’s legacy will be that his spineless, witless bumbling and pro-muslim policies united the muslims and sowed the seeds of the New Caliphate.

He will be revered by muslims as the New Prophet.

I view this as a probable fulfillment or precursor to an important end times prophecy: Revelation 17:12: "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet [hypothetically--in 90 AD when their kingdom was part of the Eastern Roman Empire] but receive power as kings one hour with the beast."

The ten Arab nations here will ultimately be joined by an eleventh person out of the Palestinian Authority which is "among" the ten nations but "diverse" from them.
