	The Great History of the Arab People and Civilization
		The Arab homeland stretches some 5,000 miles— nearly twice the distance between New York and San Francisco—from the Atlantic coast of northern Africa in the west to the Arabian Sea in the east, and from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to Central Africa in the south.
		The primary objective of the Arab League, as it is commonly called, is to facilitate maximum integration among the Arab countries through coordination of their activities in the political sphere as well as in the fields of economics, social services, education, communications, development, technology and industrialization.
		While the great urban centers of the Arab nation are reaping the benefits of the space age, including satellite communications with other parts of the world, many retain the flavor of the past through their architecture, arts and traditions.

	One Arab World
		The core concept is integrating the two predominant forces on both the social and political fields in the Arab World today, they are the religious/conservative and the liberal/secular.
		We speak of Arab Unity for a reason, it is not just a passionate long held dream nor is it a void ideal, it is morality at its pinnacle.
		The Arab world in its current state is not even scratching its pool of potential; therefore there is no compelling reason for us to remain as thus, when we are in essence a single mixed race, with much more obvious similarities than differences.

	MDF4 Special Session: WOMEN IN THE ARAB WORLD: TOWARDS EQUAL CITIZENSHIP?
		The diverse forms of governance that characterize the Arab world, from monarchic or dynastic rule, to centralized one party systems, to fledgling multiparty democracies play a critical role in shaping the opportunities and mechanisms for political and civic participation for both men and women.
		This is fundamentally because in all Arab countries, the relationship between the State and women is not a direct one, rather it is mediated by a males kinsman (father, brother, husband).
		An important and rapid change in family structures in the Arab world however, is the increase in the number of households headed and financially supported by women (as a result of divorce, widowhood due to natural causes and wars, abandonment, and male unemployment).

	Misrepresenting Arab World
		The simplified rhetoric that describes the Arab world as being mired in poverty and ignorance neglects the geographical, historical and cultural factors that brought the Arab world to its present position.
		The skepticism is enhanced by the failure to highlight the positive accomplishments of the Arabs and properly analyze the factors that have brought the Arab world to its present conditions.
		Arab income per capita at ~$2500 (2002) is higher than that in most other developing regions and is considered in the middle-income group.

	Saudi Aramco World : The Arab Roots of European Medicine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Persia became part of the Islamic world in 636, and Arab rulers supported the medical school at Jundishahpur; for the next 200 years it was the greatest center of medical teaching in the Islamic world.
		The Arab pharmacopoeia of the time was extensive, and gave descriptions of the geographical origin, physical properties and methods of application of everything found useful in the cure of disease.
		Thus the Islamic world not only provided a slender but ultimately successful line of transmission for the medical knowledge of ancient Greece and the Hellenic world, it also corrected and enormously expanded that knowledge before passing it on to a Europe that had abandoned observation, experimentation and the very concept of earthly progress centuries before.

	In Arab world, Zarqawi tactics bred disgust - The Boston Globe
		His extended family, Akhras said, consists of hard-working Palestinians who live across the Arab world and are bystanders in the war between Al Qaeda and the United States.
		Arab analysts said that Zarqawi, who died in a US airstrike Wednesday, tapped into profound forces that will endure in the Arab world independent of his particular brand of terrorism: disgust with repressive regimes at home, rage against the United States, and ever-strengthening political Islam.
		In the Arab world, he said, a great number of people sympathized with Zarqawi's initial crusade, viewing it as part of a legitimate Iraqi resistance to the US-led invasion.

		There are Jews and Lebanese scattered through the world, which inevitably means that many citizens of Israel and Lebanon are dual nationals, that they go abroad and bring home the foreigners they marry, and that many of those who come to both countries do so as refugees.

	Jonathan Schanzer on Arab World & Iraq on National Review Online
		Despite the repeated and emphatic declarations of unity with Iraq, the recent televised brawl between Arab leaders at the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Qatar showed that the Arab world is actually anything but unified.
		Arab leaders also know that cooperation with the U.S. is likely to pay dividends in the long run.
		In a part of the world where self-preservation is the rule, call it survival of the skittish.

		The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world.
		The countries of the Arab world vary significantly in their levels of per capita income, the degree of political and economic liberalization that underpins them, and the structure of the productive apparatus, with many being unduly dependent on the energy sector.
		Unless countries in the Arab world can ensure gainful employment for their fast-growing populations—particularly the young—the significant political difficulties that are already emerging could worsen, with potentially unfavorable economic and political consequences.

		Thus, in fact, it is Israel that besieges the Arab countries, thanks to its unmatched military superiority and to the international unrelenting support that it is granted from the USA and Europe…Thanks also to the Arab situation breaking apart and to the collapsing of the Arab front.
		The party who is trying to keep for himself the regional acquisitions despite the continual offers for peace from the Arab world is actually the party who feels empowered enough to face his adversaries and subdue them.

	WorldNetDaily: Why the Arab world hates America
		According to leftists and to Arab and Islamic spokesmen, the reasons are: American support for non-democratic regimes in the Arab world – such as in Egypt and Saudi Arabia –; and because America supports Israel.
		The argument that America is hated by Arabs because it supports non-democratic regimes in the Arab world would be regarded as hilarious were it not believed by so many gullible people in the West.
		American influence in the Arab world prevents our haters there from imposing their vicious expression of Islam, not from establishing Jeffersonian democracy.

	Arab View: Arab World Needs Change — the Sooner the Better
		We have to be aware that whoever is in charge of the White House, whether Bush or Kerry, the US will always be blinded by its desire to rearrange the geopolitics of the region to serve its paramount political, economic and military interests and maintain an Israeli hegemony over the area.
		The Arab countries urgently need to reform, not as a reaction to Bush, Cheney, Howard or Friedman but because reform in the Arab world is both overdue and indispensable.
		That is why the Arab governments and the Arab people must redefine the status quo so we can deal with the whole world on an equal footing.
