Why is it that the Arabs don't revolt?

[achaaban]

Arabic speaking people are educated, they are just not Arabs, they do speak Arabic... Is speaking a language enough to starting a revolution.

Please note that in France the revolutionaries did not all speak French before the Revolution....Only England did revolt with its English language and Anglo Saxon origins, are the Arabs like the English all nomads=Anglo Saxons...I doubt it

Let's admit the truth, the Arabs are a good-for-nothing backward people. I feel ashamed to be an Arab.

[erzallubnan]

The Arab speaking world is divided into 3 nations. Even a person living in a tent like mo3amar qadafi knows that.

The Gulf countries also known as GCC. (Will always be slaves even if they live in castles and own yachts in marbaya, revolt is not in their dictionary, old and modern colonization will haunt them till the day Oil drys.)

The Levant region (Iraq, syria, Jordan, lebanon and palestine). Every occupation that invaded or settled ended, the turks 400 years, British and french, americans in Iraq, Israelies in Palestine and the struggle continues. The levantines in my opinion are the bravest revolutionist the world will ever encounter.

North Africa, no need to comment, especially eqypt.

Now we are talking,,,,

the Levantines are the ones who need to revolt...since the nomads of Arabia are the hypocrates....

[Robin Hood]

Here is a look at some Arab countries:

Lebanon: The people nag for 4 years, and on election day, vote zay ma hiyye.

The Gulf: Still living on the era of Jahiliyya.

Egypt: People are starving and were in lack of bread. Mubarak is one of the worst Arab leaders, he sold everything to the Zionists, yet the people maghoulin be ra2assat.

Iraq: They killed Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophem (PBUT).

Palestine: Their land is still occupied and yet, they are killing themeselves.

So what to expect from the Arabs? Nothing, except backwardness.

Most, if not all, of the Arabs who could lead a revolt fled their home nations long ago.

let me tell you that you are very wrong
you seems to forgot what happened in Algeria or in Libya and even egypt? Levantines is not much different when it comes to revolt from north Africa..

Lebanese think of them self that they are always better than the other Arab countries well in fact we are all same s**t we are not much different when it comes to revolting and so on if you see people on streets revolting its because of their sectarian leader told them to do so


Arabs have lost their identity because of so many lose from turks to british to french, german etc

just look at africa they got the same problem most of the x colonized countries are having the problem the arabs have the white man turned to be the smartest again they played it very well

The levant is the center of education, arts, science...many glorious civilisations contributed to that...and I do believe there is a sense of belonging to something called Mediterranean as a kind of homeland for all nations in the basin. I am proud of being Mediterranean and find myself somehow like home when I visit Greece, Italy, Spain or Turkey...

I am not identified with an Arab...at least not anymore...there have been great arab leaders...think of Khaled Ibn l Waleed, Abdel Qader, Nasser etc... from time to time a great leader emerges and the arab masses follow blindly... i'm not sure if arabs are indeed genetically retarded as many believe, i think it's more that their senses are not fully developed yet...the existance throughout history of great men prooves that the fault lies more in the masses...arab masses are ignorant, uneducated, easily manipulated, naive, impulsive and quite dumb... they lack the ability to think in the long term and solve problems and dilemmas...arabs are easily tricked and satisfied...they'll eat your left overs if they like you...i always remember how they were fooled by Lawrence in Arabia...Arbas admire those who are superior to them. They love to be ruled by powerful and ruthless leaders, cause even if they suffer challenging their ruler is out of the question.

The term "arab" might create the false illusion of an exisiting unity, where in fact there are just various tribes with different traditions.

It is especially puzzling whether the Lebanese are arabs?

i agree with "erzallubnan" when he said that there's 3 kinds.
lets take us the Levant Arabs, as we used to be the more advanced between all other Arabs in everything. especially in culture, but we still have a lac in reading. the people of our region don't. a people with no interest of reading and with no curiosity to knowledge, will note revolt until someone drag him to it.
e.g: jews published a book talking about the foundation of their country in palestine 50 year before they did it, but none of this region read it, or the one who read it didn't give a **** sh**

reading is the solution (Friedrich Nietzsche, Nikolo Makiaveli, Che Guevara,...)

True,

Reading should be our mean to liberate our minds, Arabs are still backwards, because they are still living in darkness, no one can force you to live in darkness, its your own hands doing.
When you don't seek knowledge, that means you really don't want to think.

Arabs (Camel riders/Lizard eaters [Gulf populace]) prefer passiveness! they prefer to kneel then stand up!

P.S: I think we Levantines(The great civilizations of the fertile crescent) have alot in common with the Atheist rebellious mind - Friedrich Nietzsche - than we can imagine.
