There are some facts which , whether for good or bad , are of utmost importance in the public life of all Arabic countries at the present moment . The most obvious of these is the accession of the masses , that are in their majorities composed of Musslem believers , to complete social and political power .
As the masses , by definition , neither should nor can rule and direct their own personal existence , and still less rule societies in general , this fact means that actually all Arab countries and societies , and many Islamic countries as well , are suffering from the greatest social and political crisis that can afflict it's peoples , nations , and civilisation .
IT is important to avoid giving the words "rebellion , masses , religious and social power " a meaning exclusively or essentially religious . Public life is not solely a religious affair , but equally , and even primarily , intellectual , moral , economic , and political .
Societies are always dynamic entities , and let us agree that the Islamic masses , and the fundamentalisation of these masses has been in the work for quite some time . And one can not but note the progressive appearance and triumph of the pseudo-intellectual , unqualified religious leaders and politicians .
The functions of government and of political judgment in public affairs can not be carried by clergy nor by men only abiding by religious dogmas and indoctrination . whether it's any of the emergent new Arab Islamic countries , or all of the established theocracies as in Saudi , gulf , or Iranian examples .
I believe that the political innovations of recent times all over the area , signify nothing less than the political domination of the Musslem masses , and their leaders . Today we are witnessing the triumphs of a hyper democracy in which the Musslem masses act directly , outside the law , imposing its aspirations and its religious desires by means of material pressure . The masses believe that they have the right to impose and to give force of law to notions borrowed from scriptures and texts dating fourteen hundred years ago .
The religious masses crush beneath it everything that is different , everything that is excellent , individual , qualified and select . Anybody who is not like them , behave like them , who does not think like them , runs the risk of being eliminated .
Some reflections on the actual current affairs of the Arab and Islamic world , that could lead to more fanaticism and the gradual adaptation of similar ways through out the western world . as usual thanks for listening .
