Why is it that the Arabs don't revolt?

[Libnene Qu7]

Let the Arabs learn the benefits of standing in line before you talk about revolution and what not.

[Iceberg]

Arabs? what Arabs ?

[milouvr3]

Arabs 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,...)

Why Arabs don't revolt ?

Before even questioning such notion , we should ask why should they? & against who ?

usually anarchy arouses after a financial criss , sociali injustice
& violation of rights.

The general state of Arab states is not identical :

For Example , and w/o elaboration :

Lebanon is different than K.S.A but semi-simillar to Kuwait
(From a Political/Sociological Angle)

Kuwait is different than K.S.A but simillar from the financial aspect only
(From a Political Angle)

Iraq is Inversely simillar to K.S.A , but politically in alignment with Lebanon & Kuwait.
(Sociologically & Politically)

A question like :

Why Arabs don't revolt?"

is simillar to :

Why Hispanics don't revolt?

is too general to answer.

----------

If the Question is : Why Arab regimes last long ? :

1> the use of brute force (Saddam for example)
2> the support of other arabic regimes (Omar el-Bashir 4 Xml)
3> secetarian , political violance (fatah & hamas 4 xml)
4> Peace , finanical prosperity & gaurenteed social security (U.A.E 4 Xml)

the pan-arabic banner is no longer a valid mean to tackle issues relevant to the reigeon.


the question should be more specific :

why the people of (X) or (Y) arabic state won't revolt ?

then it will be much more easier to give an answer ; which is clear from prejudice & analytically objective.

no it's not about why the people of (X) or (Y) arabic state won't revolt ?

in all the arab countries we have a problem of fear, fear from death or prison (Saddam, Assad, KSA, Egypt), fear from economical problem (the golf)
in Lebanon we use to have Syrian terror but now we have money terror.

To get ride of this fear, we need people willing to revolt and a gr8 leader (GMA/SHN).
in Lebanon we started this revolution, but we faced a very hard combat in 7 of June, we lost this battle but the war will not end here.

can you tell me why only in Lebanon we see that the people is willing to change what they see that is wrong while on all the other countries we see nothing:S

Greetings ,

You brought up great thoughts !

1st. (Comparison)

Lebanon is a diverse society w/ a multi-cultural heritage + there is no sole-dictator there. & the Presedent has limited authority & cannot dismantle the constitution.

-

Iraq is also a diverse society w/ a a multi-cultural heritage. However , it was governed by a dictatorship regime until recently.

(its enough to see the victims of Halaabcha massacure & the mass graves of innocents to realize that brute force can surpress the will of people)

- if u apply the reign of terror to a nation & aquire the applauds of your neighbouring regimes by المال السياسي & seize control of the media with a tight seige on the intellectual mind = YOU RULE

=============

- In Lebanon , Christians are the safe guard. الرقم الصعب

- In Iraq , it is the Houza (Religious clergy) however , since its shia. Saddam marginalized its powers by producing "Khomaini-phobia" & claiming that he is the "Safe-guard" for Arabs.

=============

Thus , each situation has its own specific elements to determine why , when & where an event like revolution can occur.

2nd will be following today.

great, but why the people don't revolt.
let us see somewhere else in the world; Cuba and it's famous revolution. why the people revolted against the regime. before it, in Russia (communist revolution), and before it, in France. everywhere in the world you can find revolutions even in Africa.

so why you can't find a real revolution in the Arab countries?

for me, lazy people with no cultural background.

[alabellez]

when you consider what is known as al oumma l arabya, there are three different kinds of arabs, true... what's in common between these people is religion, not history, not culture, just religion (and you know, language, but that comes with the religion!), and that and only that made those three different kinds of arabs identify to each other! Now the true arabs, the actual arabs are the war loving nomads who are too stupid or too lazy to revolt! They might actually own the world someday but they'll still be "mad3usin"!

[milouvr3]

the funny about those "mad3ousin", they know this truth but they say "what can we do"

once upon a time, i met someone from KSA who was against the regime, when he told me that, i asked him why you (as youth of KSA) don't revolt in a way or in an other. he told me that they are afraid from death. this is when i gave him ebook links for che guevara, hoping that they learn something from him but one month later this man is never online (this man is a student at university)
