For ages and ages and ages, there’s been this one big beautiful marvellous dream all us Arabs have had in common and wished for: Arab Unity.
And again and again i hear the same old talk about how we Arabs are united in language, history, religion, culture and so much more that it’s only normal for us to be united.
But unless we Arabs actually do something, it’ll never become anything more than a dream.
I think it’s true that we are united by language, history, religion, culture and all those other things, but we’re also divided by politics, exterior intervention, greed and stupidity.
I mean, when i just think of it and imagine how it could be, i’m left totally speechless in front of it’s greatness and advantages.
I mean we could reach self-fulfilment so easily through unity as complementary resources (natural, human, industrial, …etc.) are distributed throughout all the Arab countries.
The Arab world has been in a steep fall for a long time now, and day after day, we’re being ignored, mocked and humiliated more and more, why should we accept that when we can turn things around totally ?
Even the countries of the European Union who basically have nothing in common are pulling together and going on a path towards unity, because they understand that it’s for their own good. Why can’t we realize the same thing ?
Just thinking of it pops up a billion and one questions in my head about why we don’t unite, and i guess the only answer is that: if our leaders want it to happen it will, and if they don’t it’ll never be anything more than a dream…
So it seems we’ll just have to keep on dreaming…
I hope it’s not for too long…
Yeah, what if they do unite …
In my opinion, it is not that Arabs don’t want to unite, it’s because “they” don’t want us to unite. By they I mean the occident (the leader right now is the US; a century ago it was Great Britain, France and US).
They started the work, a century ago, by fragmenting the entire world in small countries with no logical explanation why they made those divisions (obviously to protect their interest).
They use the well known rule “divide and conquer”, and that works perfectly.
Don’t think that we are in a modern era. We still in the middle ages, you have the people forming small communities around a central lord or master. Now, you have bigger size of those small communities, called countries, and our master now is US, replacing two masters: Great Britain and France.
Don’t blame Arabs if they are not unite. The occident took care of everything to keep us small countries. And they continue, every where when there is some danger that frightened them, they take care of it (I’m not going to give details, just look around you). They find always a good slogan or propaganda to do what they want to do (again I’m not going to say what the slogan these days).
Don’t even try to compare Arab countries with Europe. The Europe, a good example of a united nation, they were scared when it is the turn of Turkey to ask to be a member of EU. Again, the occident is protecting itself.
I’m sorry if I’m pessimistic, but that’s our world. However, knowing the truth doesn’t mean that all this won’t change. But that needs a lot of effort and work.
Exactly. I totally agree. and that’s why i said that we’re divided by politics and exterior intervention, clearly meaning what u stated.
I know it’s impossible for us to unite under the current circumstances and under the present sitution that these exterior forces have put us in.
BUT, if we think of it, and plan for it well for the future, and follow that plan small step by small step, we’ll be able to get there in the future, or at least the next generations will.
We should stop thinking of doing things right here right now coz that’s impossible, we have to start thinking about the future and working towards the future.
It’s madness to blame US or another other external force to blame for no unity between arabs.Western world want arabs disunity to exploit their natural resources and to maintain their base in middle east-israel.Arab’s should blame themselve for no unity.They should understand that their unity will send a shockwave to their enemies.West want to split arabs further for example US led coalition is indirectly supporting to break iraq into 3 different states and also they wanna split saudi arabia into 3 as well.Arabs in saudi,kuwait did the worst and shameful act worst than prostitution,by sponsoring the US slaughter of arabs in iraq.Then they gave bases for US in almost all persian gulf states.Bases are indirectly used for controlling the corrupted pupet leadership in the host countries which gets its orders from washington.Now US soldiers are spreading drugs,alcohol,Brothels and arab women are only fit for belly dancing and lap dancing for american boys wherever they r in gulf.Arabs should stop blaming west, because its duty for US and other capitalist vultures for keeping arabs seperated and opressed.This is the DARK AGE for arabs.
Hello
i luv manga…FORZA MILAN
Unity of purpose is strength , honor , love , and pride things we lack and won’t understand untill we are free from materialism , once money is of no such intrest to an arab and dignity and pride prevail , only then he/she will fight as if there were no tommorow …. may the force be with you all .
I find it strangely comforting to accept that all of humanity is still living in the dark ages, we are so primitive that piracy still excists to attack merchant ships! And wars are still waged for profit but explained away as needed for some greater good, it used to be the king or god almighty but is now human rights and democracy.
So, how would one act and behave if one was living in the middle ages? That is a good guide to how to live today.
