Syrian geography and the “pre-state” Arab religious system

    culture in the Arab Muhammadan societies is characterized by being totalitarian, based on violence and the elimination of the other. The elimination of the other practically means the absence of dialogue because there is no other to dialogue with. This culture was formed as a result of many accumulations in the consciousness over a relatively long period, and was characterized by aggression, terrorism, revenge, then exclusionary and eliminationist thought, and the belief that the Arab is preferred over others in the sight of God, who considered the Arabs to be the best nation!!!!, then many other factors that combined contributed to the formation of the Arab character!

The beginning of accumulation was before the emergence of the Muhammadan call. Accumulation continued with religion and spread in open areas, which can be divided into a section where the existence of that culture continued, such as the region between the ocean and the Gulf, and a section where this culture stopped, for example in Spain, India, parts of Eastern Europe, Asia, and others. In the region between the ocean and the Gulf, the culture of the desert Bedouin groups is still dominant and prevailing with its primitiveness, savagery, and other Bedouin natures, which were refined by the desert with its dryness and harsh nature, which was reflected in the natures of its Bedouin inhabitants, such as the natures of corruption, violence, tribalism, leadership, then individualism and dictatorship, that is, the natures of what is called “before the state.”

  The pre-state era is characterized by many characteristics that include, in addition to what was mentioned, cruelty, revenge and retaliation, especially the “muscular” male attitude towards women who are weaker than men, which allowed them to be turned into captives and slaves of masculinity, especially by legitimizing polygamy, then the inferior view of them, considering them deficient in mind and religion, then an incubator for “rabbit” procreation, which frustrated all projects of development, progress and civilization. In order to raise the “number” necessary to fight with the sword, it was necessary to devote virility and fornication, which turned into a disaster after the cessation of conquests, which were accompanied by looting, theft, exploitation and the collection of tribute from those who refused to Islamize, that is, enter the new religion. Conquests were no longer possible, so the number turned into a problem!

Bedouinism succeeded in imposing its culture on a part of the open areas, and in this part, such as the Levant and North Africa, the progress and development of the civilizations of those areas, such as the Mesopotamian civilization and the Nile Valley civilization, stopped, and stagnation and backwardness took place, after those peoples had contributed to a very large degree to the progress of humanity.

  It is possible to say that if it were not for the Bedouin colonialism, a civilization of openness, dialogue, acceptance of others, and then respect for freedoms would have prevailed in this region, and these regions would have developed positively as Spain did, and the peoples of those regions would have become pioneers in progress, civilization, and the ability to understand the rest of the world, and these peoples would have avoided wars, death, destruction, seas of blood, and disasters, and would have lived in peace and harmony with themselves and with the rest of the peoples of the world. The Bedouin occupation destroyed people and life and ruined the countries it controlled for a very long time. We do not know now the number of generations necessary to get rid of the chronic Bedouin disease epidemic, and we do not know if getting rid of the Bedouin epidemic will ever be possible.

The melting of the cultures of many peoples of the open regions into the Bedouin culture created an identity crisis, especially after the Bedouin Arab identity took over the identities of the peoples of those regions, who had tried for a whole century to continue with the Arab identity, and as a result, reaped failure after failure. The times of Bedouinism created a great imbalance in the personality of the Arabized person, who lost his balance and ended his sense of belonging to himself and his civilization and contributed to a large extent to the production of hybrid, conflicting, and conflicting sects and tribes, and the origin of the spirit of tyranny and racism in his consciousness, which was formed during the Rightly Guided Caliphate, then the Umayyad and Abbasid, and after the Abbasids, the Ottoman Empire, which carried a Bedouin culture whose origin was in the Turan deserts adjacent to China, which did not differ in general from the Bedouin culture of the Arabian Peninsula!
