Democracy is a failed experiment by the west in Arab world, Arab world was at peace under Dictators like Saddam husaain and Gaddafi. It is bad to hear truth brother, these people will be at peace only under stubborn and cruel dictators. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan are peaceful just because of being under Dictators. Only the immature and those who don't understand Islam speak about democracy in Arab world. sorry to say facts. Facts don't care about feelings.

@Kiki Kiki Abstract Tunisia is ARAB We have analyzed Y-chromosome diversity in the western Mediterranean area, examining p49a, f Taql haplotype V and subhaplotypes Vb (Berber) and Va (Arab). A total of 2,196 unrelated DNA samples, belonging to 22 populations from North Africa and the southern Mediterranean coast of occidental Europe, have been typed. Subhaplotype Vb, predominant in a Berber population of Morocco (63.5%), was also found at high frequencies in southern Portugal (35.9%) and Andalusia (25.4%). The Arab subhaplotype Va, predominant in Algeria (53.9%) and Tunisia (50.6%), was also found at a relatively high frequency in Sicily (23.1%) and Naples (16.4%); its highest frequency in Iberia was in northern Portugal (22.8%) and Andalusia (15.5%). In Iberia there is a gradient of decreasing frequencies in latitude for both subhaplotypes Va and Vb, related to eight centuries of Muslim domination (8th to 15th centuries) in southern Iberia.

I graduated in 2010 and left the UK in 2012 just after the Arab Spring to work in Qatar. I've been in the Middle East for 10 years have worked in Qatar, Saudi, and Oman. Inevitably you work with and come across people from the Gulf, the Levant, and North African Arab countries every single day. Before I came out here I had a very one dimensional view on the Arab world. When you live and work here you realise very quickly there is no homogenous Arab world. Other than a common language which isn't even that common given how different the various dialects are, the only thing that I see every Arabic community has in common is a level of love, respect, and hospitality you simply don't see in western countries. The KG Arabic teacher from Egypt with whom I worked with in a school in Qatar would make me breakfast every morning because I was the only young male working in the school. We both knew our salaries were not equal but she didn't care. There's a selflessness and genuine sense of family I've seen from everyone in the Arab world which simply doesn't correlate with the macrosocial problems you see on state levels. It's so sad how the entire region is seen as nothing more than political and religious violence when the reality of the people is as polar opposite as you could imagine. I really hope the people in the Arab world get the leaders they deserve, and not the tyrannical despots who take advantage of power vacuums left over by meddling western imperialists.

@whitedeath9

3 жыл бұрын

It's throughout Islam. Mainly because pre-Islamic Arabs would hire women to cry loudly at funerals, so when Islam was introduced, this practice was forbidden. But it also resulted in women being discouraged from attending burials. As far as I'm aware there's nothing in scripture that actually forbids women from attending the burial so maybe as time goes on that will change.

@a.b.8606

3 жыл бұрын

A Funeral in Islam is divided. Men and women are not allowed to mourn in the same location. The funeral is split between men and women. Only men are allowed during the burial because its their duty to bury the deceased. Afterwards, 2 locations are chosen, one where men go to pay their respects for the family of the deceased, while the other one is set for females. Some countries , like the Gulf countries allow for only close family members of the opposite sex to mourn together.

I really don't think the average protestor in either the 2011 revolution or the protests that have happened every now and then were feminists, human rights activists, or dogmatic socialists. The vast majority were normal people that were just angry at the poverty and economic humiliation that they were dealing with and still are now. Instead of interviewing the average Tunisian, they interviewed elite activists who pinned a lot of blame on individuals and groups they could not name, and the rest of the blame on Ennahda, a party that is guilty chiefly because it is their main ideological rival. I have a feeling that the rest of this series is going to give us similarly incomplete pictures.

We in Algeria and Morocco need to follow Tunisia's example and make strides in abolishing arbitrary rule and lack of popular sovereignty. I feel the Tunisian revolution will not succeed unless the other larger Maghreb countries follow its example and all cooperate as a democratic block. Certain countries outside the region tried to abort the Tunisian revolution and are succeeding to some extent in Libya because North Africa's unity failed to defend its borders with the Middle East. Libya is right now a Middle Eastern offshoot thanks to Hafthar who will turn the country into a second Egypt (politically). The armies of Algeria and Morocco should have scattered Hafthar and snuffed out the possibility of Libya becoming a base from which to dim the democratic transformations taking shape to the west. What is going on in Libya is an emergency for the region that is being practically ignored.

the problem is not anymore "freedom" .. it is "economic"!!

One of the problems with these uprisings is there isn’t ever a good replacement. All of the uprisings from the Arab spring brought about someone way worse. There needs to be one leader that not just Nationals get behind, but all Muslims need to get behind, and there needs to be a way to oust these people without causing a situation like we saw in Syria or Libya. There needs to be a plan, not just blind outrage.

Democracy is the rule of the majority which happens to be poor religious people. Every major philosopher [plato, aristotle, socrates ....etc] have spoken against democracy. The west are all fake democracies and they use the ideology to make their people think that they're in control of the government and to fool other nations into dismantling their governments and replace them with a democratic one that can be bought or pressured into doing what the west want.

After talking about the guy that set himself on fire :"What's the reason behind the ignition in the first place " no pun intended

Vice paints this like it is real revolution. Most people would prefer to return to Ben Ali because the country was more stable and islam was less influential. The attacks in Tunis and sousse wouldn't have happened under ben Ali because extreme islam was stamped out early. The power moved from apparently 1 person and their regime to now the banks and the political theatre

A "secular" dictator or Islamo-fascist "democracy" seem to be the only two choices for people in MENA region. Whether it's Egypt, Libya, Syria or Tunisia, the liberal opposition is never in a position to make gains from fall of a dictator, perhaps because they're limited to upper classes. Of course, elitism is the Achilles' heel of liberalism everywhere.

Ok. Cool report. How does this serve us Tunisians anyway?... It doesn't. If anything, it will make it even more difficult. Showing the terrorism narrative from 7 years ago, isn't going to help us in any way. Nobody other than tunisian themselves really care about Tunisia. I've never understood why some of the tunisian activists love sharing their feelings with foreign media. What is it what we're seeking? Pity? Empathy? ok, and then what? In practice, nobody would watch this video and think "oh I'd really love to spend my holidays in Tunisia". Do we want foreign intervention? Nope. If anything, this serves a really ancient narrative of a region being in crisis and the west would get involved to "save the day". Pathetic

3ak3ak Vice

Nice they showed yemen

The Arab world is so boring at this point. It doesn't have that intrigue it did even a few years ago. I think most people now are just cringed by it. And clearly there is something wrong with the society as a whole over there, you just can't just blame the rulers like this is some sort of cartoon. Those same rulers are cut from the same cloth as the people. Perhaps try being honest, kind and friendly to each other and maybe, just maybe your situation may improve. I don't even think Vice should be wasting time on stuff like this, it's the same tired story for years and years. They will get a new government and a few years later will begin fighting again. There is something rotten to the core over there, let them figure it out. Quit giving them attention though, it just fuels their insanity.
