Ma Bitar, Syriano:

     We no longer know who the Arab is, why some people call themselves Arabs, and what are the characteristics of this attribute that some want to distinguish themselves and elevate themselves with, while others do not want to approach it and see in it a kind of inferiority and savagery, No answer may be sufficient to define the Arab and Arabism, so we will start with some observations that will have continuations in other articles.

Generally, it’s not considered appropriate for a person to talk about themselves because they don’t truly know themselves and cannot be objective and impartial towards themselves, Therefore, they were asked to get to know themselves, applying the saying “Know thyself,” This advice is timeless, meaning it’s valid for all times and places, So, we will ask non-Arabs about Arabs, If we were to ask a political figure like Churchill about the effects of the extinction of a people or a large human group, Churchill was asked and replied, “If the Americans die, wealth will die with them. If the Arabs die, treachery will die with them.” Since we, the writers of this article, are not Arabs and do not wish to be—in fact, we consider anyone who calls us Arabs an insult, and we never accept insults—we will answer the question posed to Churchill in a slightly exaggerated way, We will say that if the Arabs died, humanity would be relieved of a great burden, because humanity represents a culture of life, while the Arabs generally represent a culture of earthly death, driven by greed for the illusions of afterlife pleasures, And their pleasures in the afterlife are limited, according to what the sheikhs, or at least many of them, say. By breaking and penetrating the hymens that are renewed daily, therefore the death of the Arabs represents the death of the penetrations of the hymens, and there is no regret over the death of the penetrations of the hymens, because the whole matter is hypothetical, imaginary, nonsensical, hallucinatory, and representative of vile sexual perceptions, Also, there is no need for the death of the Arabs, because they already died immediately after their birth, and death does not repeat itself, so whoever dies does not die again.

So the Arabs are dead, One of the signs of their demise is their self-perception as the best nation brought forth for mankind, a nation not for work but solely for guidance, as a former Jordanian minister from the Muslim Brotherhood put it, The Arabs were not created to manufacture airplanes, trains, and the like; rather, they were created as role models for others, that is, created to boast and look down upon others, They were born with an innate disease called the disease of “hollow boasting,” absolutely, All self-boasting is hollow, regardless of who boasts, Although the disease is innate, it is also contagious, In other words, it is innate, according to the Jordanian minister Muhammad al-Qudah, and acquired, as we see it, There is no difference between it being innate or acquired; it is a deadly epidemic, reflecting a complex human feeling that psychology seeks to deconstruct and understand its driving forces, Boasting has two forms: a positive form related to achievements and exaggerating their significance, This form has a partial relationship with rationality, This form approaches realism, but it is harmful to it and hinders it, And a negative form that is mainly related to vanity, pathological ego inflation, narcissism, and self-deception, The goal of the second form is to arouse astonishment and beg for applause for what is astonishing in terms of imaginary superiority and greatness, The practitioner of boasting and showing off behavior and claiming to have become great by projecting greatness and greatness onto himself… I am Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, and I am proud of my slaughter of tens of thousands of people from the Levant. Therefore, slaughter is greatness!

 The Bedouin psyche prides itself on its ability to spread Bedouinism and the religion of conquests and war spoils by the sword, and by the rulings on killing apostates and other things, Religious Bedouinism is a one-way street, and whoever goes in the opposite direction dies by killing, Thus, boasting is a behavior that reveals, in most cases, a tendency to impose itself and the correctness of its positions on others, In this case, the boaster wants the other to submit to the greatness of the wisdom and insight that the boaster possesses, without any connection to reality, It is a naive compensation for a deficiency or lack of personality, Centering the boasting outside the person, such as saying, “I am an Arab and I am proud,” or “I am a Muslim and I am proud,” does not save the person from the phenomenon of a deficiency or lack of personality. The boaster in this case projects himself onto the object of pride or projects the object of pride onto himself, so that the self mixes with the object in different proportions that are always pathological, destructive, and numbing.

It is noticeable that pride and self-importance are closely linked to backwardness and inferiority, The worse a person’s condition becomes, the louder their boasting and self-importance grow, Some boast excessively about humiliating practices… such as conquests! A comparison with civilized, advanced, and refined peoples reveals no quantitative differences between their scientific, human, and cultural humility and the progress of the peoples of this region in practicing empty boasting, As humble as they are, the Arabists or Arabized peoples are puffed up and arrogant, It should be noted that a humble person has something that allows them, even objectively, to practice self-satisfaction. An objective assessment of the Bedouin Arab of the Hejaz allows for nothing more than empty talk, The present is not civilized, and the past was utterly humiliating… especially the conquests.

Theoretically, it is possible to replace the phrase “a nation of chatterers” with “a nation of voices” or “a nation of whips,” meaning one that only moves with the whip, Even the phenomenon of the nation of voices and the phenomenon of the nation of whips have become extinct, Developments have proven the failure of voice and the failure of the whip, For voices, during the days of Arab nationalists Nasser, Gaddafi, and Saddam Hussein, there were rounds and battles that shook the streets with the intensity of the clatter, the noise, the shouting, the braying, the croaking, the fiery slogans, and the forced mass marches, without the observer at the time realizing where they were going, And now we see that they have gone to nothingness, as the pessimists predicted and the optimists were disappointed.

Despite the emergence of the oil phenomenon, which the sheikhs benefited from and through which they were able to return people to the straight path of the camel-like religion—that is, the path of desert religion, which is now destroying humanity, for example in Syria and Iraq—the citizen is being killed and the believer revived, That is, the homeland is being killed, and an attempt is being made to revive superstition, the unseen, faith, and absolute certainty, deluding people with the paradise of heaven and the profession of fornication, as if the human being was born to fornicate—that is, to be deceived! The topic is complex, and God’s ways with His creation are mysterious,We will continue this discussion!
