Monotheism is a quasi-innate doctrinal axiom that dominates reason and values. The concept of monotheism (consensus) rejects other opinions and differences. Monotheism is the foundation for the emergence of dictatorships, which depend for their survival on a single model, approach, and ideology.
Monotheistic thought rejects all alternative or contradictory thought, thus providing fertile ground for the production of dictatorships. Monotheism is alienation from diverse reality and a self-absorption. It also represents obstruction and the erosion of the ability to imagine. Arab culture is dead to monotheism, which was foretold by revelation. All thought is an idea! All possibilities are possibilities! All solutions are one solution! Revelation did not stop at monotheism and preventing its tributaries; rather, it shrouded monotheism in the cloak of the sacred, such that the mind became besieged by blocking the path to tributaries on the one hand, and by preventing the development and change of the One and Only Sacred. Is it any wonder that the mind dries up and withers in this situation? Is it any wonder that the mindless in this situation resorts to instinctive reaction, which reason cannot control, and to an improvised methodology that requires no reason? Is it also any wonder that dictatorship finds fertile ground in these countries, since dictatorship fully meets the demands of monotheism? There is no need here except to replace God with another god, then make a palatable and comfortable concession of freedom. What is the necessity of intellectual freedom in this case? Especially when thought is reduced to a single, unavoidable idea, and everything else is heresy, heresy, blasphemy, and treason, whose neck must be twisted by the whip of the dictator, the sword of Ibn Abdullah, and the burning of Hell. Freedom is an inalienable necessity in a reality characterized by difference and pluralism, that is, at the intellectual level characterized by the multiplicity and diversity of ideas. There is no way to natural pluralism without freedom, and therefore there is no life without freedom. The survival of some does not mean that they are alive, as organic survival is not human, but animal. Man is a humanized animal, and without humanization he dies as a social human being and continues to exist as an animal. Social freedom differs from individual freedom, as submission to laws does not fall under the category of tyranny, because individuals have voluntarily given up part of their individual freedoms for the benefit of general social freedoms. Your freedom ends where the freedom of others begins, this is what Rosa Luxemburg said, based on the philosopher Kant. Monotheism was not limited to producing dictatorships. Monotheism (consensus) also contributed to the absence of reason and rationality, such that these countries were unable to solve their problems bloodlessly, i.e. peacefully, despite the fact that most political problems are solved without bloodshed. The disabled and absent rationality was unable to predict that the solution in Syria and other countries in the region would be political after years of destruction and killing. The disabled and unemployed mind must be asked about responsibility for the destruction and killing. Is the government solely responsible, or are the Salafist movements solely responsible, or did everyone contribute to the practice of sabotage and senseless killing? In fact, everyone must be held responsible for the destruction of the country and the killing of its people, without exception. This is due to intransigence and the arming of a single position and vision. Not everyone has been able to practice rational, logical thinking that recognizes alternatives and compromises, followed by back and forth. The position of the authorities, both past and present, has been one, rigid, unchanging, and subject to the culture of either killing or being killed. The position of the other side has also been one, rigid, and unchanging. They have all suffocated in the barren Bedouin galabiya. So what will be the solution? The solution will be politically rational, but it will not be the product of the crippled, disabled Syrian rationality, but rather the product of the non-disabled mentalities of others. These mentalities will impose a solution on the Syrians, which the Syrians could have reached had they had a non-monotheistic rationality. Monotheism eliminates alternatives and thus closes the door to solutions. The Syrians were not up to the historical responsibility entrusted to them, and they were unable to benefit from the depth of their civilization. They have proven that they are a society disabled by the jalabiya and turban. Analytical, critical, and non-fossilized rationality is not part of their current nature. The Syrians have paid the price of their obstinacy, their Bedouin traditional thinking, and their fossilized positions that reject every alternative, a price that no other price can surpass. They did not lose a part of their homeland, but rather they lost the entire homeland! Syrians have not realized the problems of Arab culture, its blockage, the shrinking of its creative capacity, its self-consumption, and its alienation from logic. Totalitarianism, fundamentalism, and monotheism have not been subjected to a process of deconstruction, analysis, and review, so that they can be freed from slavery and the chains that bind them, the veil that blinds them, and the single stereotype that has turned them into a kind of canned food that has lost its validity!
