Revolutionary Inspirations in the Arab Countries
Revolutionary Inspirations in the Arab Countries
Tina Garfield And Suzanne Edward
Many Arab writers around the globe inspired revolutionary ideas for the youth in the Arab countries and encouraged them to think that they can make the difference. Protest the for injustices concerning human rights and the urgency for change opened the door wide for demonstrators. In his well received and widely adopted by several webpages on the internet, article titled, "Factors of Human Development and Progress in the Arab countries" by an Arab scholar and philosopher who wrote what I see as the spark for revolutionary protestation in some Arab countries as we observed recently in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.
The author describes the political situation in many Arab countries from sociological point of view. Here is summary for these points:
Traditional heirs of governments have to change, and give way to new generations believe in secularism and scientific development rather than traditional one."
Arab countries are governed by authoritarian [some totalitarian] systems, where social tension has a degree of dissatisfaction lead to conflict, unrest, and violence
Stability in this case cannot be legitimate in the face authoritarian governments.
. Arab regimes according to these totalitarian governments practice political arrogance (Saudi Arabia, Libya, Syria, Egypt, and other Gulf states for example,) dealing with social problems, using economic injustice, social oppression, and discrimination toward other nationalities, is a common cause leading to tension and rates of instability.
5. There are almost 14 million people in Egypt alone, living under poverty line. Of these, four million do not earn their bread, while 20% percent of Egyptians own more than 80% percent of the national wealth.
6. of the rule of law to guarantee essential rights, freedoms and opportunities for political participation for all. Where such absence of justice and secular rule of law is enhanced by faith and religious beliefs as essential obstacles in the process of rule of law development, socially, economically, and politically. Example, in six Arab countries, there is an outright ban on the formation of political parties, while restrictions on political activities and civic organizations in other countries often amount to de facto prohibition. Almost all Arab countries lack of civil rational society institution ruled by laws that respect human rights away from religious belief. But most Arab states are far from this picture.
7. New rational approaches are needed to deal with problems (locally, regionally and globally) but prevented religiously, on the bases that "God gives, God takes," where such belief depends on the other life imagination and status quo respect and fear. The real life where they live in, needs more than belief to build nations rationally and systematically, where both are not characteristics of religious belief. Causes of tension such as inequality, injustice, and political arrogance and emergency laws, should be replaced by a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being

9. The real life where they live in, needs more than belief to build nations rationally and systematically, where both are not characteristics of religious belief. Causes of tension such as inequality, injustice, and political arrogance and emergency laws, should be replaced by a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. For example unemployment among the youth from governments is ignored, its rate is increasing, in some countries reaches 40% percent. Taking into consideration population growth, Arab countries will have to create 50 million new jobs by 2020 to accommodate the anticipated workforce. The picture looks dim, with the status quo unchanged.
10. Arsenal and arms accumulation swallow revenues of oil, and takes its toll of national revenues. In some cases danger is imagined from neighboring countries such as Iran and Israel, bribery by billions are paid for arms deals instead of searching rationally to solve social turmoil's and tensions which lead to violence. Ineffectiveness of human mentality concerning basic physical needs, like water, food, health, and environmental disasters, supported by the belief that God solves all problems should come to a holt. Humans are perceived as having no ability to change their future. This factor stands an obstacle as a rule. This is, unfortunately, a stamp of traditional totalitarian systems continuing to be ineffective dealing with daily problems. Replacing theologian beliefs by secular intellectual reasoning is a must for the Arab countries to be succeeded . Such role is perceived as a disaster in traditional societies, to escaping mental powers of intellectuals and justice reformers.
11. The concept of nationality is mismanaged by internal and external forces. For example, citizenship is divided into one, two and three divisions where discrimination is practiced against non citizens in most Arab countries.
12. In conclusion, Arab countries should move radically to replace traditional idea of human development for the other life, forgetting the necessary life on earth. An idea was enforced in Europe three hundred years ago. Otherwise social progress and human security will continue to be in danger.
The above points, we believe were guiding lights for revolutions and protestations in several Arab countries. (865 words)
