The culture of fear, the product of tyranny?!
Published in Alriyadh on 29 - 07 - 2011

In our miserable Arab East that is depressed, backward and ignorant in its legends, in addition to the absence of awareness projects because of the oppression and elimination acts that some of its governments and ruling icons practice in some of its establishments that don't produce anything but guardianship on the people's thoughts and life styles and rations their path in life of production and thinking. It also puts red lines in front of all paths, modernity directions, entering the age that it lives and earning technology educations, sciences, and awareness in an age of globalism and technology in this East that raises shallow and fragile individuals because of the fear it made the people go through since their early ages, where it made him loose confidence in his self and destructed his abilities and potentials as well as eliminated his ambitions and hopes as a creature that was found to think and use his mind in all life contents to make his destiny with his will and participate actively and positively in putting the nation and history in a bright position.
The individual in this static East grow with fear, filled with terror and washed with shallowness and horror from the mothers' and grandmothers' stories about magic and jennies that kidnap children in their way and the fantasy creatures that come like a dilemma, in addition to the authority of the father or the bigger brother in a small family with his bossy and oppressing practices that calls out any view and eliminates any decision although if it was a decision that has to do with personal issues of that individual regarding his life future, academic direction, educational preferences and future plans to form his reality and to create his awareness.
The individual rises in this educational style oppressed, so that the authority transforms from the father or the bigger brother, to the authority of the big family, the sector, the bigger family with its traditions, rules and total culture along with all what is included in this culture of prohibitions in life and its contents in a way in which the individual lives terrified from the bigger family's or the sector's authority. Thus he doesn't create for himself that independency in his views and actions to take his preferences in defining his future, even in the details of his personals.
The military system and the one leader made use of this psychological formation in the Arab individual, along with the fear and terror product that he was raised on and deepened this terrifying act by creating its frightening bodies of investigation authorities, prisons, chasings in life, elimination of dignity and individual personalities, rights and duties to practice a form of human crashing and transforming him into a cheep and ignore creature. It invented harsh ways in organized terrorism for the military system to create group fear along the country geography and nation components, classes and sectors.
The totalitarian military systems in the Arab world brought back the production of the fear that the Arab individual grew on but in a harsher way with more bloody and terrifying ways. It succeeded in transforming the people into a frightened flock that is filled with fear, calling, clapping and accepting the life of poverty.
Nevertheless, what we see now of scenes in the Arab land geography says that awareness changed, and that the psychologies transformed.
