First of All, Islamic Shari'a and all of it's beautiful preachings were at its peak at the time of the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) until around 900 years of his (p.b.u.h) death. After that, as Muslims started deveating against the right path, they started lagging behind in all aspacts of socio-political-economic endeavors. So the back bone of a strong benign Islamic state is the faith of the beleivers and their trust in their generous Lord.
In the past hundred years, Muslims have only being going down because of their own deeds and actions.
The size of the Muslim population does matter, as long as the Muslims really are true Muslims. There are so called 'muslim' countries in the middle-east who care the least for the Shari'a of Islam.
The political structure in general of the middle-east today is the least or not-even closely influenced by the true Islamic spirit. Mind you, its the rulers, not the population in general. The resentment you see amongst the youth and the other religious people is because of their inability to bring peace into their and justice into their country by establishing strict Shari'a laws.

okay so basically, in times of hardships, islamic people wee drawn closer to the religion. And by doing so the crime and such lowered?
There are two things to consider here. A Muslims personal connection with his Lord and the Muslim Ummah as a whole. On a personal level, a person might go through hardships and fitnah(tests from his Lord) even if he has put all of his trust in Allah. That is infact why he will be tested by Allah - if the man loves Allah just because He is giving him? What if Allah takes away the man's wealth and health? Will he then not bow down to Allah? That's one thing.
If you are asking about the crimes and social, political, economic disorder..Definitely by implementing Shari'a there will be a well established civilized community. People are encouraged to work hard for their living and deal with honesty..all of these rules are of Shari'a. If there is injustice, Shari'a will always be there to solve the problems.
Only if I could give you a good example of a whole country that you might be aware of. But there are small communities, developed, with least or none crime rate or any other sort of lawlessness in their community inside Saudi Arabia and some other places.

Islam has developed throught in th last hundred of years.
In what what way do you mean developed?
-how has the influence of religion effected the political structures of the middle east?-
This is quite an extensive question. Some basic information you might like to keep in mind.
Islam ordains only one poltical structure - the Caliphate (Khalifah). Monarchies and dictatorships have no real place in Islam. So, looking at it from a ideological perspective, it is quite strange that the Middle East is full of such rulers. 'Why' is a very interesting question but it seems to big to deal with at the moment.
i am in such argument with a fellow follower for i just converted and he belives he connection is population and i strongly disagree. I want to view the question at a historicall stand point, like in term of the histoy of politic in the middle east and how muslim way effected the rules...
Ok ,
Histaorically Islam Is The Fastest Growing Religion...... Why
Well I Belive Its Because Its The Purest Religion U Can Ever Hope To Have,
Its Still Gr0wing Now....
Oops Before I Leave,
Crime Only Exists If U Have Nothing And Clamber For Everything..... This Is Were Faith And Religion Comes In.
Politics Is A Way Of Changing Thoughts,
Faith U Cannot Change!!!!!!
Middle East Is Only Having Problems Because They All Belive The Land Is Holy,,,,,,
One Land One Religion Islam

So just so I understand - he is arguing that the despotic and corrupt regimes in the Middle East are linked to the Muslim population and thus, Islam? Or have I misunderstood.

i think colonization has more to do with the political structures of the middle east than religion.
each man thinks of his own fleas as gazelles
question authority
if I may be of use, do you mean of what is the connection between religion and politics in the muslim world in history.
for the past 300 years, just as snake has said, colonialization has been the back of political issues and has not ceased in our times now.
however, if you mean further back, then yes Islam, the religion, was the political entity since the time of the prophet.
the difference between Islam and anything other than Islam is that success can be achieved by non muslims without the following of correct guidance and correct beleifs and practices meaning that God even allows success to those who worship others besides HIm and do many henious and evil acts.
But in Islam is the opposite. When the muslims do the same, then the effect of such actions are directed at both the social and political aspects of life. Hence when the non muslims do not do what God says, that is fine, at least for now, while for muslims, to Allah, it is not fine and their consequence will be witnessed here on earth.So all the atrocities and whatever pillage and massacres you see happening to the muslims and whatever else maybe be done by people who do not ascribe themselves to islam, but theologically, it is our fault for if we would have stuck to what we were suppose to be upon, then whatever you and everyone else has seen would not have happened in the first place. basically the success and victory of the enemies of Islam lies only, ONLY in the muslims lack of following by Allah's permission.
