You might argue otherwise trying to be a proud Arab. But calling it at face value is whats logical. Examples are abundant of how far reaching and infested the ideology of racism and other discriminatory behaviors are in the Arab world.
- Jordanians and Palestinians
- Western Arabs and Berbers
- Arabs and non Arabs in Sudan
- Sunni's and Shia's
- Lebanese and Syrians
- Gulfers and Egyptians
The list goes on without even getting into the misery Women live in Saudi Arabia, for example. So, why is it that we take on such barbaric behaviors and accuse the West of controlling and patronizing us? Why do we always try to play the victim role in a world that we brought a lot of discrimination into?
I don't think much could be gained in the Arab world without self-awareness. unless equality is guaranteed to all, not just under the law, but also in the hearts and minds of the people, we should not be complaining of how we are treated by others.

Now how come I can say that and get slammed against the firewall and you don't even get one complaint? :)
Kinzi,
had your blog been jameelahblogs, nobody would have said anything. But, the "white man" is the root of all problems! So, any tackling of local issues would construe meddling in the country's sovereignty!
