They have been indoctrinated for over 50 years. Their newspapers are state run. Most of their information is given to them by the states that oppress them. These states do this to deflect blame and revolt away from themselves.

Are Arabs stupid? No. Are they ignorant and uninformed of the true facts? Absolutely. Do you see the ignorant masses in the streets of Cairo, Damascus, Islamabad? Take a look in the rear view mirror as you drive your child to the local public indoctrination center. That's what the liberals are trying to do here in this country.

Cultural Disease?? No. Sustained brain washing by facists that use religon as their ideology....YES!!!!

"That's what the liberals are trying to do here in this country."

All socialism is National socialism. American totalitarianism is as unattractive as any other.

The Public Schools are Weapons of Mass Destruction against American youth.

Nice humanistic piece. It's not the reality however.

The reality is that the Arab world is under the spiritual subjugation of a slavish cult. It's sacrement is murder and they will gladly sacrifice thier own children to it at any oportunity. The Arab hates the infidel more than he loves his own flesh and blood.

There is no end to this in this world. You are witnissing the culmination of human history.

I don't really see the difference between "50 years of brainwashing" and "cultural disease". Pretty much the same thing.

Anyway, your points are well taken and I'm certainly willing to change my terminology, drop the "disease" and substitute "brainwashing".

An example of brainwashing was just reported on CNN. Something about a Beirut newspaper saying that the bloodshed in Basra now makes democracy in the Middle East unattainable. They admit that Saddam is a thug and must go, but lament the death of democracy due to the bloodshed in that battle.

What better example of stupidity (due to brainwashing, culture or whatever). By their logic, the only way to promote democracy in the middle east would be for the coalition forces to retreat from Basra!

Also, it's interesting that in reaction to perceived "western imperialism" the arab world will now react by forgoing all democracy anywhere in the region!

Stupidty? Yes. Gross stupidity. So gross as to virtually defy analyses. So stupid as to be nearly incomprehensible.

And that's what defines most of Arab culture these days: gross, incomprehensible stupidity.
