The Arab State of Evolution

The events of 9-11, and the subsequent anniversaries of the Islamist atrocity, serve for me as a gauging tool on where Arabs are on the ladder of evolution of man.

The images of dancing Arabs, rejoicing over the mass-murder taking place on live broadcasts, immediately triggered a rush of hate and rage against these rodents. Except for Egypt and Jordan, Arab peoples and their governments couldn't mutter one word of regret, sorrow or sympathy with America and the many victims of 72 nationalities. The monstrosity of forcing people to either be crushed, burnt or suffocated in an agonisingly delayed death, or to hasten inevitable doom by taking a 14-second plunge from 1,000ft above caused Arabs to celebrate and jubilate. 230 people are known to have fallen to their death, much to the bemusement of the Arab world.

The mangled, crushed, splattered and torn bodies of the victims of 9-11 have more dignity than these Arabs. Eight years on, the anniversary is ignored in the media in all Arab states. It puts collective guilt on all Arabs who remain silent to this day.

I don't hate Arabs, but I cannot look into the eyes of Arabs, cannot shake hands or converse with them. They have yet to achieve the civility I expect in a human being.
