		The Arabs (Arabic: عرب ʻarab) are an originally Arabian ethnicity widespread in the Middle East and North Africa.

	Leila Khaled - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leila Khaled (Arabic: ليلى خالد‎ laylà ẖālid; born April 9, 1944) is a former member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), part of the secular, leftwing Palestinian rejectionist front.
		When the Arabs rejected the 1947 UN Partition Plan, fighting broke out between the Arabs and Jews, and in 1948 Khaled's family moved to Lebanon, leaving behind her father, a member of the fedayeen.
		At the age of 15, Khaled became one of the first to join the radical pan-Arab Arab Nationalist Movement, originally started in the late 1940s by George Habash, then a medical student at the American University of Beirut.

		Leila was wizened and bent-over, giving the impression that she carried the cares of the world on her old shoulders.
		Leila still recoiled in horror and said a prayer at the sight of an overturned shoe, thought by her community to be an insult to God.
		Leila had spent nearly all her life in Aden, yet she could no longer visit the small house where she was born, or the simple dwelling to which she moved after marriage at 15 and where she bore her four sons.

		Arab presidents and kings met in the splendour of Cairo and although they decided not to confront Israel, they led their people into believing that they were preparing for the eventuality of war.

		The death of Leila Mantoura at the age of 72 has deprived the Arab community in Britain of one of the most dynamic and best loved figures.
		Leila was not to see it again until 1967, when she found two Jewish families sharing it and what was left of her furniture, including her much loved piano.
		Towards the end of her life, Leila Mantoura had the great satisfaction of organising a reunion of four generations of her family in Jerusalem, combining this with a visit to the nearby university of Bir Zeit, to which she presented a unique collection of amulets assembled over many years by her father, Dr Tewfiq Caan.

		Leila Ahmed, an Islamic scholar and professor at the Harvard Divinity School, agrees that Amin bases his arguments on a comparison with the West, in which the West is refined, cultured, and advanced, and the East is not.
		The rejection of the odalisque is masterfully expressed in the fiction of Leila Sebbar, another Arab woman from the East but transplanted to the West (she is an Algerian living in France) and the author of the Shérazade trilogy.
		Leila Ahmed, author of Women and Gender in Islam, asserts that one of the only elements of Qasim Amin’s The Liberation of Women (1899) that was considered scandalous was his call for the abolition of the veil.

		Born in 1940, Leila Ahmed began her childhood in a modest villa with an expansive garden at the outskirts of Cairo.
		A harsh example of this was an experience Leila had in school when a Palestinian teacher slapped her for identifying herself as Egyptian rather than Arab.
		Eventually I began to see the constructed nature of our Arab identity as it was formed and reformed to serve the political interests of the day." In the end, she comes to the same conclusion that she always has.

		Arab “partners for peace” are not treated with respect by their Israeli counterparts, and there are no words of sincere apology or willingness to make the grand gestures necessary if Israel wants to enjoy a secure place in the neighbourhood.
		People across the Arab world quietly burned with anger at the injustice, praying in their hearts for justice and celebrating the acts of resistance that did emerge for the short while they managed to survive, less and less as time went on, anticipating the ultimate cruel and devastating defeat.
		Leila seems guided by “one person, one vote” democracy—but rule of the many, can, without legal and constitutional rights (which are often like personal fences or borders of self-ownership and determination)—this rule of the many can often disregard the rights of minorities (be they racial, religious, political, concerning sexual orientation, etc.).

	Monthly Review March 2002 Susan Muaddi Darraj
		Shirley Guthrie, author of the recently published Arab Women in the Middle Ages, unearths facts about women in the medieval period that challenge the many stereotypes that persist today, such as one that modern Islam reverts to medieval days, thus proof that it is stagnant.
		However, while it is often thought that medieval Arab women were helplessly bartered off into undesirable marriages, Guthrie informs us that an affluent Arab woman negotiated the details of her marriage contract, and some even included a demand on their husbands to be monogamous, while others demanded the right to initiate divorce proceedings.
		Women’s issues were not at the fore of social concerns, but medieval Arab culture and the days of early Islam do not seem to have been as uniformly oppressive as they are depicted today.

		In fact, Arab and Muslim Americans also have a problem with Bush policies, and they are influenced more by mainstream American media than Arab and Muslim World media.
		But as a part of the strategy to launch American-controlled media in the Arab and Muslim World, Bush also authorized federal agencies such as the U.S. military, the FBI and the Justice Department to also purchase advertising in Arab and Muslim American publications.
