Arabs face common challenges and risks

Arabs face, perhaps for the first time in their modern history, a complex set of challenges that constitute common risks, some of which relate to the history of the region and others to its geographic location, but what is certain is that this Arab future contains is an integral part of the future of the contemporary world, for there are expected troubles, crises to come and troubles in progress. ones as follows:

First: the terrorist invasion of the world today necessarily reflects the dark side of the future of the Middle East, and indeed of the Arab and Islamic worlds, and perhaps of the entire contemporary world as well. “Terrorism” is the “scourge of the times” and the disease which overthrows stability, targets the security of peoples and leads to the intimidation of the safe. We are in the presence of a black devil wielding false slogans and blaspheming Islam to justify murder, stoning, captivity, forced displacement and pressure on the peoples of the region to hinder their progress and strike their development and bring them to a turning point whose end only God knows. In my opinion, the fight against “terrorism” is a difficult question, where history and geography, religion and politics, regular forces and obscurantist groups overlap. It looks like an elephant and mouse game. The latter, despite its small size, is capable of causing problems for the elephant despite its enormous weight. We must understand that terrorism is not only an imminent danger, but it is like cancer which destroys healthy cells, penetrates powerful organs and terminates the immune capacities of societies, peoples and nations. Undoubtedly, the methods to deal with it do not stop at the limits of the sole use of force, but go beyond the need to find more effective methods through preventive measures that protect societies, in particular. young people, of the danger of this dreadful disease by drying up the sources of material and human resources, then the question extends to the therapeutic aspect in the face of extremism, and we refer here to the importance of mutual understanding between owners of different cultures or belonging to different civilizations or the religions to which individuals owe, and I do not mean here reconciliation in its superficial sense or its formal concept, but what we aim and strive to achieve is much bigger than that. We must examine educational programs, methods of education and the role of religious institutions in raising awareness and creating a revival that confronts “terrorism” and creates a correct education for the younger generations. Religious and cultural institutions and research centers are, in their entirety, responsible for shaping the personality of modern man who realizes the value of life and the meaning of existence in it, and literature and the arts play a decisive role in this context. I think terrorism is the first danger that targets the Arab citizen and tries to overturn his future after destroying his present, but we have to record here that “terrorism” has not established a regime – throughout history – and did not destroy a state. , it disturbs the water and creates problems, but it can never rule Because it represents a random start and helpless thought and black eyes.

Second: The Zionist danger represented by the cancerous colonization of the State of Israel was and still is one of the most important common dangers, not against the Palestinian people alone, but against all neighboring peoples, if not the entire nation. . After nearly a century of bloody conflict full of clashes and wars, and perhaps one can imagine the Arab region if Israel did not exist to realize the extent of the suffering the Arabs suffered in from that state that the West instilled in the heart of the Arab world, and even more than that to make it a bridge to perpetuate backwardness and create division throughout the region, and someone could say that the Israeli danger s ‘moves away due to peace agreements and attempts at calm, but this is not true, as the reality says Otherwise, in distress, Syria in disaster, and other countries in tragedy. He takes advantage of the setbacks plaguing the Arabs, because Israel’s historic achievements are the product of Arab weakness, not its military and media strength. It should be noted in recent years that Israel pursues its policies independently of others. It goes like a train without taking into account any human or moral factor. Therefore, we always see that the Israeli danger directly follows the phenomenon of “terrorism”, which we have agreed to represent the first danger affecting the entire region.

Third: Iran’s historic agenda has emerged over the past decades and its intentions to use all its tools to influence its neighbors and reorganize the situation in the Gulf region and the Arab Mashreq according to its whims. He wears the turban of Islam, and at the same time, the core of his foreign policy is predominantly Persian, and he pursues one of the most successful foreign policies in the region. On the other hand, Iran has succeeded to a large extent in achieving vital goals in the Arab region, as it was and still is an ally of the Syrian state given the comparative advantage of the ruling Alawite sect. in Damascus, and the emergence of “Hezbollah in Lebanon has also given Iran additional power in the region and has become almost an extension of it rather than an essential part of Lebanese politics. Therefore, Iran seeks hidden control over certain Gulf countries, and one of its most significant actions in this context is the occupation of the three Emirati islands and the unrest. In Bahrain, Arab voices have been heard in recent years, assimilating the danger between the Zionist entity and Iranian expansion, and despite our reservations about this perception, we do not underestimate the extent of Iranian risks. to reality. Arab and the future of the region. I remember what some Iranian media recently reported that the fall of Sana’a at the hands of the Houthis is the fall of the fourth Arab capital in their favor, and there is a diplomatic school in some Arab capitals that goes too far in its description of everything that is happening in the region and sees that Iran is hiding behind every danger targeting Arab countries, especially the Gulf region. He takes the spread of Shiism as a cover for political action to the detriment of the stability of these countries and the security of their peoples. Also, the Iranian nuclear threat has been exaggeratedly embodied, and the Arabs feel trapped between two nuclear programs, one in Israel and the other in Iran, but I do not see political or intellectual justice equating the Israeli and Iranian dangers. . is a major danger, and Iran is a secondary danger, although some see Other than that for reasons relating to the history of the relationship between Arab and Persian nationalities, as well as the popular sense of the need to talk about differences between Sunnis and Shiites in an exaggerated and unjustified form.

Fourth: The Turkish state began to recover, over the past decades, some of its ancient history and Ottoman heritage, and while Iran’s motives were primarily political, the Turks’ motives started primarily economic from the other side, as they imagined that they could restore the historical spirit of the Sultanate of Othman family and imagine that their control over the Arab countries to give them solid credentials to enter the European Union, which is become a distant dream, and here we must not ignore that Turkey is a member of NATO and that it has provided logistics services to some organizations that have become terrorists under the pretext of supporting the “Syrian revolution”. party, which had imagined it could politically control the Arab and Islamic worlds, came out with a new international project in which the Muslim Brotherhood plays a key role, but the protests of June 30, 2013 in Egypt were thwarted. go against what the Turks want, and the dreams of the “new Ottoman Sultan” Recep Tayyip Erdogan have been shattered to a large extent! There is no doubt that the state of rupture in the region is prompting the three regional powers to attempt to devour the Arab body in the face of Egypt’s concern for its internal conditions and its war on “terrorism” in the Sinai. This situation creates permanent problems for the Gulf States, at a time when attempts are made to divide Iraq and Syria and also to dismember the Libyan State … We are facing situations unprecedented in our country. modern history.

This is a reading of the Arab Status Book, from which we feel the nature of the dangers around us from all sides, and we have no choice but to adhere to the national spirit and to common Arab action in a modern watch that allows us to get out of the current situation with all its challenges, crises and dangers.
