We are all Arabs. We are not all Muslim and many of us are of divergent, though perpetually intersecting, histories. We are Pharos and Philistines, Moors and Bedouins, Phoenicians and Mesopotamians. We are African, Asian, and sometimes European. We have conquered and concurred, we were golden and we were low.
Tomas Friedman gave an interesting foreigners perspective when choosing to separate the subject matter of his book "Arab and Jew". The Jews were easy, the all fell under an easily classifiable category; religious affiliation, they were all Jews. Everyone else in the equation was their yang; Arabs. Drues, Christian, Muslim and Philistines, Bedouin, Oriental, Phoenicians, and all. Like a great unspoken federation the term Arab was not withheld for the Gulf Arabs exclusively but used in a monolithic association of the people of the region. From Spain to China.
Together we form one of the most significant blocs in the world. Our geopolitical structure, natural resource, and historic importance are unparalleled. We also form a trading bloc larger the United Sates and one to rival the European Union by means of population. We enjoy, as a bloc, the lowest non-political crime rate in the world and a culture exquisitely unique, all under the workings of one language.
We are also arguably the worlds most distraught, polarized, and segmented people. How are we capable of failing to unify so many times when others have come together complicitly and overcome much larger differences under significantly less external threat?
Though I am one that prefers the comfort of my own blame, I can easily state in good conscience that the state we are currently facing was, in large, brought about by external figures. Our only failing was being in the natural decline of our civilization when the French and the British decided to become God. The days of brute, ugly force and subtle, cheeky power are gone. Though we face obvious external threats, and some would argue modern day imperialism, we are physiologically slaves no more.
We are the first generation of free Arabs in centuries. Evidence of this is still not blindingly obvious, but archeologically there. We do not share the depressingly fateful and forlorn views of our parents and their incapacity to dream. This is why I idolize President Gamal Abdel Nasser. His faults were as great as his charisma and he was no administrator or general; he was our messiah come to liberate our bodies from western imperialism and in this facet the extent of his success will not be fully comprehended for generations to come.
The shackles of the mind, however, are longer lasting. More daunting is their apparent ability to infuse genetically. We have come apart from Western Europe but as is evident in even the most patriotic or simple Arab; the bind is as new love. This inferiority complex is parallel to the descendants of American slaves, passing down a self-induced and inflicted degradation generation by generation from mother to daughter. This gives courage as precedence, for today's African Americans are seemingly on the path to spiritual independence, however slow it may seem.
We dream and we know many have before. We dream of our independence and the power of self confidence. We know many have failed and many will assume we will as well but we are steadfast, reliant and comforted with the solidarity of the dreams of our people. The dreams of one Arab world.
1 - Arab nationalism is the solution -- what, that idea AGAIN? Are Arabs moving forward or in circles?
Though I am one that prefers the comfort of my own blame, I can easily state in good conscience that the state we are currently facing was brought about by external figures.
It is clear to me that someone who write that his problems are caused by outside forces must necessarily believe that he has a good conscience.
The shackles of the mind, however, are longer lasting.
Capitalism and democracy help. Have you read Adam Smith, John Locke, or Montesquieu? (Comment this)
2 - I stand corrected, and I have corrected that passage in this entry. It now reads I can easily state in good conscience that the state we are currently facing was, in large, brought about by external figures.
I have reviewed some other passages and made some small corrections to better present the meaning of what was intended.
As for Adam Smith, read what he has to say about Nationalism in Theory of Moral Sentiments in the last two parts.
Then try to imagine an un-United States and tell me a unified Arab world isnt the best thing for its people.
Montesquieu? No I havent read anything there, feel free to recommend. (Comment this)
