1. The Arabs are the most wretched people in the world today, even if they do not realize it -- 2. A deep sense of malaise permeates every corner of the Arab world -- 3. The Arab malaise is a period of history and it is now more acute than it was before -- 4. Modernity was not the cause of the Arab malaise -- 5. The Arab malaise is not the result of modernity but of modernity's collapse -- 6. The Arabs' malaise is more a function of their geography than their history -- 7. The worst aspect of the Arabs' malaise is their refusal to emerge from it, but, if happiness is not in sight, some form of equilibrium at least is possible |
