Are the recent major developments and problems of the Arab world , emanating from the Arab peoples' nature and reflective judgment , or is it due , at least more so , to Islam and its inability to fulfill its own promises of becoming a coherent political , economical and social modus operandi and system of governance .
Let me prevent misunderstanding and reiterate that ; Musslems throughout history had a big hand in maintaining Islam's literalness and backwardness . But the religious texts themselves are very indicative , commanding and requiring , of eternal reign and total blind obedience for all places and times .
The solid intertwining between the two , and for long centuries , makes it very hard to reach clear conclusions and answers . I'm inclined though to believe , and state , that it's Islam more than Arabism that is the core problem , as Arabs at one end come historically from very different origins and sources . The southern deserts Arabs , the Middle-Eastern different ethnic groups , the down the Nile old original people , the north western African many peoples , and the Yemenis , just to name some of what constitute the Arab world .
These peoples were traditionally very different in their histories , only Islam managed , mostly by intimidation and force , to impose and enforce the common history since some roughly 1400 years till now . Islam and its Arabic language are the common constant for all these otherwise different peoples .
So based on these facts and their logic ; Islam's continuous and unwavering molding and its formation of this identity , are the cause of these movements and their results . Simply put Islam is living a terrible mental paralysis , dragging all Musslems with it , thus pushing itself and all its adherents to more physical toughness and brutality , in the hope of saving and maintaining its own organizational existence , at the expense of stagnating its ideology and thoughts .
Musslems from all walks of life , Sunni and Shiia alike , from Arab and non Arab countries , have to wake up and reconcile with the ineptitude and incompatibility of Islamic texts , sayings and stories , and the later works of Musslem dogmatic explainers , with civil modern requirements , and the honest acceptance of all Musslems themselves that Islam has to be kept out of civil governance , the same basics that were adopted by Christians in western Europe and the United States , but unfortunately , not by Zionist Israel .
If Musslems fail , and cannot clarify , adopt and adapt to these changes , then I'm sure the future will be very bleak for Islam itself and consequently Musslems , Arabs and non Arabs .
Who was it from the American founding fathers that said " the separation of church and state is to save the church ." My usual very warm thanks to all for your time and patience .
