The other issue with a United Arab States is, they have no real industry. The middle east at this point in time only holds a value to the rest of the world because of it's oil.
In 20 -30 years when other fuel alternatives are widely available, the middle east's oil export and main source of income will slowly start to dry up. So then what will they do?

The "Extremists" are killing more Muslims than Christians and Jews combined.
The talk is they are doing it to force civil war in Iraq, which is unlikely to happen with the Americans there. Who will not leave while the country is tearing itself apart. Which is the excuse for the Americans to stay if it was all peace and tranquillity?
Maybe the extremist know this and are playing to it. The easy route for them to get rid of the Americans is to do nothing and be quiet. Then the Americans have to leave or stay for the oil. With the Americans gone the extremists come back to fight, Iran invades and the extremist are finished.
But while the Muslims divide and kill themselves on on who knows God best and stupid points of religion, much like Europeans 500 years ago. A United Arab States isn't even a dream. Its' a fantasy.
