The Arab Spring...

[pbel]

This is why the Arab Spring thrives...a PM using his loose change while the average person has no rights and barely supports a family. The Islamization is a result based more on economics rather than religion or a hate of the West or Israel...Israel ought to secretely help these uprisings and develop economic ties...peace will follow peace with the Palestinians...

$31.5 million bid for New York apartment denied by building

In today's housing market, good deals are waiting to be had. But for one New York co-op, a $31.5 million bid wasn't even enticing enough to merit an interview with the potential tenant.

The prospective buyer also happens to be the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheik Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. He made an offer to purchase and convert two apartments in the co-op belonging to the late heiress Huguette Clark.

The Economist Magazine: Arab World Self-Doomed To Failure

WHAT went wrong with the Arab world? Why is it so stuck behind the times? It is not an obviously unlucky region. Fatly endowed with oil, and with its people sharing a rich cultural, religious and linguistic heritage, it is faced neither with endemic poverty nor with ethnic conflict. But, with barely an exception, its autocratic rulers, whether presidents or kings, give up their authority only when they die; its elections are a sick joke; half its people are treated as lesser legal and economic beings, and more than half its young, burdened by joblessness and stifled by conservative religious tradition, are said to want to get out of the place as soon as they can.

One in five Arabs still live on less than $2 a day. And, over the past 20 years, growth in income per head, at an annual rate of 0.5%, was lower than anywhere else in the world except sub-Saharan Africa. At this rate, it will take the average Arab 140 years to double his income, a target that some regions are set to reach in less than ten years. Stagnant growth, together with a fast-rising population, means vanishing jobs. Around 12m people, or 15% of the labour force, are already unemployed, and on present trends the number could rise to 25m by 2010.

Freedom. This deficit explains many of the fundamental things that are wrong with the Arab world: the survival of absolute autocracies; the holding of bogus elections; confusion between the executive and the judiciary (the report points out the close linguistic link between the two in Arabic); constraints on the media and on civil society; and a patriarchal, intolerant, sometimes suffocating social environment. The great wave of democratisation that has opened up so much of the world over the past 15 years seems to have left the Arabs untouched. Democracy is occasionally offered, but as a concession, not as a right. Freedom of expression and freedom of association are both sharply limited. Freedom House, an American-based monitor of political and civil rights, records that no Arab country has genuinely free media, and only three have “partly free”. The rest are not free

Knowledge. “If God were to humiliate a human being,” wrote Imam Ali bin abi Taleb in the sixth century, “He would deny him knowledge.” Although the Arabs spend a higher percentage of GDP on education than any other developing region, it is not, it seems, well spent. The quality of education has deteriorated pitifully, and there is a severe mismatch between the labour market and the education system. Adult illiteracy rates have declined but are still very high: 65m adults are illiterate, almost two-thirds of them women. Some 10m children still have no schooling at all. One of the gravest results of their poor education is that the Arabs, who once led the world in science, are dropping ever further behind in scientific research and in information technology. Investment in research and development is less than one-seventh of the world average. Only 0.6% of the population uses the Internet, and 1.2% have personal computers.

Women's status. The one thing that every outsider knows about the Arab world is that it does not treat its women as full citizens. How can a society prosper when it stifles half its productive potential? After all, even though women's literacy rates have trebled in the past 30 years, one in every two Arab women still can neither read nor write. Their participation in their countries' political and economic life is the lowest in the world.

UN: Arab World Rife with Illiteracy & Lacks Innovation

U.N. report finds one third of Arabs illiterate and only $10 per person spent on scientific research. The level of education, research and innovation in the Arab world is appalling, a new United Nations report has claimed.

The report, produced as part of a partnership between the United Nations Development Program and the United Arab Emirates-based Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation, found that despite the efforts of scientists and researchers throughout the region, the Arab world makes up only 1.1% of global scientific publishing and the low level of investment into research has led to relatively low levels of innovation throughout the Arab world.
Examining a number of aspects of "the current Arab knowledge landscape," the report expressed "grave concerns over the state of education in the Arab world," with over one third of the adult population unable to read or write and major educational discrepancies between males and females.

The report found that despite 20% of national budgets in the Arab world being spent on education over the past 40 years, the average Arab individual reads very little compared to other societies and around 60 million Arabs are illiterate, two thirds of them women.

With almost nine million primary school-aged children not attending school in the Arab world, it is predicted that only a few select Arab nations will meet the universal primary education goal of the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals.

The report's harshest criticism was reserved for the lack of investment in academic and scientific research, hampering the ability of Arab nations to meet global occupational, technical and higher education standards. The report found that spending on scientific research in the Arab world does not exceed 0.3% of most nations' GDP and is 97% dependent on government funding.

While nations like Finland were found to spend over $1000 per person on scientific research each year, less than $10 per person is spent annually on scientific research in the Arab world. As a result, the number of patents registered with Arab national institutions is minimal and Arab scientists and researchers account for 1.1% of global scientific publishing.

"Things are really bad," Dr Ghassan Khateeb, Vice President of Community Affairs at Birzeit University in the Palestinian Territories, told The Media Line. "There is a direct relation between the lack of investment and the problematic situation we find ourselves in relation to knowledge."

"This is all related to politics," he continued. "The lack of democracy and lack of knowledge reinforce each other: the lack of education contributes to the lack of democracy and the fact that rulers can remain rulers without the will of the people. In turn, the fact that there is no proper democracy in the Arab world means that there is less incentive among rulers to really invest in knowledge of the kinds of things that have a positive impact on the public which would elect them."

"When there are vicious circles you have to work on both education and democratization together," he said.

The report was also critical of the quality of university education, citing a lack of emphasis on modern communication technologies and specialized sciences. "As a result," the UNDP wrote in a statement, "the region lacks a critical mass of highly skilled professionals equipped with the ability to innovate and capable of answering the needs of the marketplace."

Aren't there any poor people in Qatar? Instead of spending "hundreds of millions of dollars" on 5th Avenue, the crumb could spend it on his own people. Thats why Arab Spring has sprung. Get real.

Arab Author Nidhal Naisa: Arabs Are Good For Nothing"

Nobody bothers to kick a dead cat. Unfortunately, the Arabs, to some extent, are dead cats. Who would even bother to give these dead cats a kick? They are good for nothing. You cannot rely on them. They turn their backs on one another. They fight one another.

Yesterday, an Arab summit was held, but 8 leaders did not show up. They officially boycotted the summit.

Some people say that the Arabs have contributed in some way to civilization, but their only contribution was the invention of the zero. Unfortunately, they remain at the zero phase and have not moved on. In fact, they remain below zero and have not made any significant contribution to human civilization.

I am very happy and proud that the Arabs recently produced
the largest plate of hummus, pickles or tbouli salad. That is all they care about: fried pastries, pickles, baba ghanoush. This is what they are good at: cotton candy, shanklish or beet kibbeh

And when Islamists take over, they will be even more corrupt, even more oppressive, even more brutal and barbaric, and steal even more of their country's wealth. In other words, there will be less structure and stability, and most importantly, the people will be worse off, by far. The best thing that can happen to Israel and the West is this Arab Spring of Islamization to continue. These countries will be at war internally and with their neighbors for another 100 years. And the West will step in to take advantage of all the civil and regional and sectarian Sunni vs Shiite wars. A win win situation over all. Muslims busy killing each other and not others, while the West buys cheap oil from them, and sells them weapons and ammo at expensive prices so that they can continue killing each other.

Hasn't been democracy in the arab culture for 1400 years because islime is antithetical to democracy. In islime, the state is governed by sharia law which is based on islamic doctrine.

Islime does not permit freedom of speech, religion, protest, expression, thought or any other personal or governmental freedom.

Widespread Poverty Throughout Arab Muslim World

Two in five Arabs live in poverty as a widespread lack of basic elements of human security, such as access to clean water, freedom from hunger, democracy and a robust rule of law, is denying citizens of Arab countries the ability to fulfil their potential, a UN-sponsored report has said.

"One in five people in the Arab region lives below the internationally recognised poverty threshold of $2 a day as poverty and hunger persist in the Arab region despite its comparative affluence. However, a significantly larger proportion of Arabs in countries studied by the report, however, lives under nationally determined poverty lines and still cannot afford bare necessities," said the Arab Human Development Report 2009: Challenges to Human Security in the Arab Countries.

"Large segments of the population in low-income countries face basic deprivation, reflected in inadequate access to safe water and a high incidence of underweight children, with the number of undernourished people in the region rising from almost 20 million in 1990-1992 to 25.5 million in 2002-2004."

The report, which draws on contributions from more than 100 Arab scholars, said that human security, a pre-requisite for human development, was being undermined by unjust political, social, and economic systems, a scramble for power and resources among fragmented social groups and, in some cases and the impact of external military intrusion.

The ability of more than 330 million people in the Arab world to make progress in human development, lead stable lives and fulfil their potential can be achieved only if the sources of insecurity, environmental degradation, discrimination, unemployment, poverty, and hunger are addressed, the report said.

The report released in Manama on Tuesday identified a series of measures to improve human security that include guarantees on universal basic rights and freedoms, especially for women, better protection for the environment, the tackling of poverty and hunger, the expansion of access to affordable health services and ending occupation and military interventions that have caused human suffering and erase decades of economic development.

"The rights of women can be safeguarded by changing laws and attitudes that entrench gender-based discrimination.

Review what happened in Iran in 1979 and get back with me. There was chaos in the beginning and slowly but surely the Islamists took over, and started raping the country and people like never in it's history. I predict when the people rise up and overthrow the Islamists, Islam might be banned from Iran. Kind of like the after math of Nazi Germany when all forms of Nazism became a crime.

And when Islamists take over, they will be even more corrupt, even more oppressive, even more brutal and barbaric, and steal even more of their country's wealth. In other words, there will be less structure and stability, and most importantly, the people will be worse off, by far. The best thing that can happen to Israel and the West is this Arab Spring of Islamization to continue. These countries will be at war internally and with their neighbors for another 100 years. And the West will step in to take advantage of all the civil and regional and sectarian Sunni vs Shiite wars. A win win situation over all. Muslims busy killing each other and not others, while the West buys cheap oil from them, and sells them weapons and ammo at expensive prices so that they can continue killing each other.

There is no sign that kaos will rule...Tunisia, has had elections, no kaos or even Libya. They simply want the leeches to stop feeding on their blood.

Revolutions are always messy, especially to the rulers and the rich...just note the French...but Political Evolution is like the Physical, marches slowly then a rush.

I think Israel and the West would be better off if the Arab People ruled!

Review what happened in Iran in 1979 and get back with me. There was chaos in the beginning and slowly but surely the Islamists took over, and started raping the country and people like never in it's history. I predict when the people rise up and overthrow the Islamists, Islam might be banned from Iran. Kind of like the after math of Nazi Germany when all forms of Nazism became a crime.

The people in Iran revolted for the same reason the Arab Spring thrives today. The CIA and American power removed their former Seclular Rulers and Installed the Ruthless Shah!...Revolt against Western Lackeys supported to suppress the populace, even in Iran today that struggle against Islamization is very strong...

For the new revolutions, Islamization or their Mosques have been the only thing that helped the people against their for oppressors...

Sure things will radicalize, every revolution does at first, then keeps reforming until people get theirs political rights which spurs economic activity, enfranchisement and finally stability.

It takes 10-20 years.

This sound like democracy?

Sahih Bukhari Hadith...

Narrated Ibn Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.
