So that the Arabs do not repeat their entry into the millennium with the right man

Will the "Arabs" board the boat of change towards another pole that will rule the world for the next hundred years? This is the question/concern that occupies the minds of Arab thinkers these days, as they clearly see the preparation of this Chinese, Russian, Iranian boat, waiting for zero hour to set off in the waves of a sea that still seems to be heavy.


There is no doubt that all those concerned with thought, opinion and belief, more than others, want the Arab nation in its great Arab homeland to board that boat, and even to have a place in its leadership, so that it is sufficient for it to be humiliated, disintegrated, humiliated, and meek that lasted for more than a thousand years, since the Umayyad conflict Over the caliphate in Damascus, then the Abbasid conflict in Baghdad, then the kings of the sects in Andalusia, and the Mamluks in Egypt, then the Ottoman Sultanate that lasted for about five hundred years, then the white European colonialism that divided the spoils between Britain, France, Italy and Spain, and finally America, which laid its hand on the capabilities of This enormous homeland, once through direct colonialism, as in the invasion of Iraq twenty years ago, or indirectly, as in the Gulf, or infighting and self-warfare, as in Syria, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Sudan, and Yemen. And it came to an American writer to ask: Who planted our oil under their sands? That is, the oil is theirs and the sand is ours.


At the beginning of the third millennium, twenty-three years ago, some of these intellectuals and thinkers directed explicit calls not to allow the Arabs to enter the new millennium, neither with the left man nor with the right man, as long as they enter it with slippers and dishdasha, the cave mentality, and the Arab woman lacking in reason and religion. It was created only for childbearing and cooking, and belonging to the past much more than the present and the future, until it came to rule the living dead, the collector the university, the rich the poor, the male the female, and bequeathing power in perpetuity, until we had Mohammed III, Abdullah VI, Hassan II and Al Khalifa The ninth...etc. Within ten years of the beginning of the millennium, ISIS, al-Nusra, al-Qaeda, al-Zarqawi, al-Baghdadi, and the emir of the group exploded, beheadings, enslaving women, and jihad marriages in a way that shames humanity in its third, second, and first millenniums, and even before birth and history.


This Arab turn that we are witnessing these days, and which we certainly commend, towards self-reconciliation is not enough. We have never understood the real, scientific reasons for their differences, between Syria and Saudi Arabia, for example, or between Bahrain and Iran, or between Yemen and the Emirates, or even between Sunnis and Shiites. Except for the colonial policy of "divide and rule", until the matter came to the Palestinians, whose country is subject to settler and uprooting colonialism, to separate, differ and divide while they were still at the height of the task of liberating their homeland. Only a few years had passed since they entered the new millennium at that time.
