Arabs need to stop looking to the 7th Century for answers.

"To regain their former greatness, the Arab regimes should adopt the authentic teachings of Islam and know the pulse of their people"Sorry doc ... but I'd suggest that this was the start of things.
As a man thinketh, so is he, and Islam is way too open allowing fanatical religionists to get the foothold.
I'm not an Islamic scholar, but hasn't the Muslim world been through this more than once?

IMHO arabs will never get anywhere as long as they practice extremely repressive polygamy which includes sexual mutilation. It is centrist to their f_____ked up societies.

I think they lie to themselves. Not facing the truth can negatively impact everything in a culture, including the economy.

We can only hope that Japan's model is copied by Arabs. It will be after they have been nuked. Twice.

Here's a thought. Monday, General Atomic announces it has solved the problems of building affordable fusion reactors. What happens in Arab lands?

The Arabs will continue to fall in a downward spiral as long as they hold women down as property.
No society can build itself up, while keeping half of its population enslaved.
I don't know if Mohammed hated women or not, I don't even know the real Islam teachings towards women, so much has been written.
But I do know that women threaten Arabic men, and I wonder if it doesn't just boil down to some deficiency inherent in Arabic men or something....cause they are truly backwards in their rules and dominance over females.

"
...In the past the Arabs laid the blame for their troubles and the loss of their glory on foreign domination - western powers that ruled over them for centuries...'"
The Ottoman Empire ended after WWI. England hegemony over the area lasted until after WWII. Centuries? Maybe 30 years at a stretch.
More dope dreams from the "History" dept.
In reality, Arab glory ceased in the 17th century along with their domination over western lands.

Some Arabs have been turned into animals over hundreds of years by a violent "religion" called Muslim and its cultural byproducts.
The "kill infidel" types are a product of their "training", and they are prone to violence as a way of life.
There is no solution but to simply kill off those of them who are committed to killing infidels as a life style. This is the same as extermination of cockroaches. Until it is done the civilized peopleare going to suffer continuously.
The problem has always been there potentially, but as the world shrinks, and light is shed the problem simply "surfaces".

"What went wrong with the Arab World?"ISLAM!!!
The "religion of peace" seeks only turmoil, misery, and death for all it comes in contact with; most especially its practitioners.

We can only hope that Japan's model is copied by Arabs. You mean you hope the Arabs try to win a war with suicide attacks?
You want Arab armies to engage an enemy which has air supremacy? Right on track, so far . . .

Look at the countries in East Asia. They don't spend their time and resources carping about the "unity" of Asians or obsessing about the perceived injustices of history. Nor do they generally blame "the West" for their current state of affairs, or pine for the resurrection of some imagined state of past glories.
From the Phillipines to India, these countries and their people have taken the resources at hand and moved-on to join modern civilization.
It is only among "the Arabs" that we see this stagnation of thought, total repression of freedom, obsession with "the Jews", and hatred for modernity.
The only common denominator among them is the Koran (noting that Indonesia and Malaysia were advantageously influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism prior to Islam).

When Arabs work together they are praised. When whites work together it's called racism.

What went wrong... is that these people(s) suffer from childish mannerisms and lack any logical thought process. Arabs by and large operate on emotion and cannot formulate any coherent long term plan. The Arab aversion to Classic Western Mind/Thought Process is the root of their problem.

Mohammed, Islam, Allah and the attitude of "Who did this to us?"
Life is 10% what your given and 90% what you make of it. Looking for someone to blame your problems on wont get you anywhere. Look at South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, they had little or nothing and in the last 50 or so years, through hard work, they've made highly advanced and civilized nations.

What went wrong with the Arab World? Oh - well, many years ago, the Arabs allowed themselves to be completely deceived by Satan in the form of Mohamed (and even before that by Ishmael)
To: kattracks
The reason for this domination is clear: the absence of a collective policy which unites the Arabs rather than separates them. Missing a collective policy?
If respect for the rule of law and basic human rights can be considered a collective policy then maybe this author has a clue......The Arabs are their own worst enemies....... willufully embracing abusive and autocratic rulers, and in the case of the Palestinians, teaching their chidren to hate.

To regain their former greatness, the Arab regimes should adopt the authentic teachings of Islam and know the pulse of their people. They should also level up their policies vis-à-vis international and regional players. Seems that they tried this in Afghanistan and the taliban found out how well that turned out.
The arab world will only prosper when then get converted to Christianity. Islam is the reason they continually fail
