Arabism is culture and civilisation that is the integral sum of the "semitic" ancient near east. Much as I think that genetic studies are inaacurate and outdated, they, however all refer to the prominence of certain genetic types in Egypt that are claimed to be Arabic ( I have many reservations on this) secondly, Romans Greeks and turks are ethnically very diffrent from the ancient Egyptian types. Moreover they always took the form of military presence and not a massive immigrations and a merge of culture leading ( who were basically a big mix within the bigger Afro-Asiatic group with a prominence of the semtic portion of it). For example the desert beduin ( al3raab are the closest ethnically to the Egyptian farmer)<BR/><BR/> A historical context is necessary to elaborate the point.The region propers and reached peaks when the indigenous Arabic people are freed from foreign domination. Politcal stabilty and ethnic freedom is prerequisite for progress. <BR/><BR/>Throughout our entire history the entire region was left ion the backburner during two eras: the mongol rule of the Ottomans and the Greco-Roman colonialism.<BR/><BR/>At the present we are stuck in a mode of production that is specific to the Arab world where the dynamics of culture and movement of history is structurally different from oriental ones in China India and Iran on the one side and the western civilisaion on the other.<BR/><BR/>In this historical period we need to regain our confidence and free the massess from adverse concussions historical accumulations that are rendering us incapable of "innvating" leaving us with only two routes to follow: mimicking western global ways, despite of the fact that we are not healthy enough to integrate in a way that preserves out dignity and freedom and consequantly our material and economic propsperity. The second model is the Retrograde Wahabi one or the malicious Iranian divisive regressive sectarian model in which Perisna nationalism is embedded and no need to mention that the Integration of Israel and Iran iunto the region is dependent on the dilution of the Arab identity and dissecting the region along sectarian and religous line creating weak impotent statelets revolving around Israel-U.S and Iranian central powers. <BR/><BR/>In order to resuurect our briliant thousands of years old civilsation, we need strict top down reforms imposed by an Iron fist that would cultrually change the masses. Therefore I would venture to say that blend of Nasserism ands Saddamism is what we need, althou I , still, fully acknolwedge the tragic and fatal mistakes those two projects committedG.Garhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573287809747571814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546632763501563636.post-87946728844830992782008-04-19T20:54:00.000+02:002008-04-19T20:54:00.000+02:00Hello AmreThanks for passing by.
