South and East of the Mediterranean
Where did the globalization of economy begin?
It was neither in the east of Europe nor in the south of Europe.
The Islamic world in the south and east of the Mediterranean did not take major part in this globalization. It was somewhat India as Bangalore became another but minor Silicon Valley with a benefit of the out-sourcing trend from the US. And it could be Thailand and Malaysia to some extent as they enjoyed a huge influx of technology and funds from Japan.
But the globalization first started first in Taiwan where Japanese technology and funds were imported in large quantity, then South Korea businesses started to hire so many high-level Japanese engineers who retired from Japanese companies. But till recently the term economic globalization was almost tantamount to success of the Chinese economy which had been bolstered by almost 20,000 Japanese businesses that transferred so many various types of technologies and so many funds in addition to GM, Wal-Mart, and other American businesses..
The great rise of economy in Taiwan, South Korea, China, Thailand, Malaysia, and India started to trigger the G20 boom.
It was a ripple effect made by mostly transfer of technology, funds, and business from Japan and the US to East Asia and India.
So, people living in the south and east of the Mediterranean, as far as the Indus Valley, are still under threat of terror as we have observed in Algeria where some Japanese engineers were killed in an act of terror targeting a gas field in the Sahara.
Now, a TV broadcast in Japan has made a quick report that they confirmed seven Japanese deaths in the Algerian incident, but some more confirmation of death is expected.

Luk 1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Luk 1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
Luk 1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Luk 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Luk 1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
