I think it was a fascinating article. So much so, it's difficult to comment on. The poet Adonis illustrates the culture of death in the Arab mindset. Adonis writes on how Islam, which theologically says that Islam is the final word of God. No further thought is possible.

How do you have a creative society, when further thought is ahead of time known to be fruitless? Adonis argues that the Arab fears freedom. Freedom is too much of a burden, you must face reality and face the entire world in freedom. If you are a slave, you don't have to deal with all of that.

This guy takes pessimism to the nth degree.

Nice to see a post that has thought behind it. Great summation of what he is saying. The implications are far reaching and it is something we are facing as a nation. The Arabs have made their choice, we are making ours now.
