Thread Name: BS: Arab views
Subject: RE: BS: Arab views
No, I haven't opened a link here or even read this entire thread but I will respond to what Arabs want.
I would be best if I had the abilities of the ad man in the movie What Women Want , but I am afraid that Mel Gibson is somewhat of an antisemite misoginist that wouldn't advance much illumination ;'/

Most of all I think the majority of Arabs would like to be left alone and enjoy some measure of prosperity and community satisfaction.

The radical fringe that might be 20% or more of Arabs have resigned themselves to follow an ideology that calls for the overthrow of all nation states and a total surrender of all religions to turn to Allah WHICH IS SO INSANE on its face, that few ever mention the grand goal directly and prefer to change the subject to some violent short term goal that gets them more angry and hopped up than a Alabama Redneck listening to Rush Limbaugh.

The less than 1% of Arabs who command immense wealth just want a status quo and dance upon the razor edge of Religious extremism on one side and its western infidel customers on the other. It is a political balancing act familiar to any despotical King.

In short they want what you want but with a lot of ancient baggage like the near slavery of women and their own version of religious leader hypocrits that make our TV evangelists and Jim Jones types look tame.
