Arabs – Legitimate Questions

by

I have attended a session entitled “democracy in Jordan: challenges and opportunities”, the speaker was an ex-minister; I can tell you it was really impressive, due to the speaker’s ability to analyze the situation in the Arabic world and in Jordan in specific. Some serious questions were raised, and few had answers, let me share these questions with you

In general, Why Arabs do not respect the law?

In general, why Arabs tolerate corruption and favoritism? (Stunning, but it’s a fact)

In general, Why do we (Arabs) still have this internal conflict between; some wanting to move into modernization (Civic Society) and some wanting to move back to their roots (tribal society and/or religion)?

I would really like to know what do you think of these questions, and if you do have an answer please WRITE it :)
