العرب ليس حكمهم غير شوراوى ديمقراطي

العرب لم يكون حكمهم غير شوراوى ديمقراطي FOUNDATION OF ARAB PEOPLE’S COUNCILS (APC) By Shafika N. al-Gumaee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3Dm2OfB4po In the heyday of their power and progress, the Arabs have produced great philosophers, thinkers, and scientists. The influential Arab thinkers include Avicenna (Arabic Ibn Sina), Averroes (Arabic Ibn Rushd) and Ibn Khaldun just to mention a few. When the Arabs dominated Spain, the Arabic philosophical literature was translated into Hebrew and Latin; this has contributed to the development of modern European philosophy. The Arab people have revolted first against the Ottoman rule and later against the European domination. But unfortunately when the Arabs got rid of foreign domination, they fell victim to local dictatorial regimes and despotic dynastic rule. The Arab people are still downtrodden and suffer from gross injustice and oppression. Today, the Arab people are struggling for social progress, and for their right to free and fair elections, freedom of express, freedom of the press and freedom of assembly and movement. The Arab people wish to revive their traditional “shura” system which is a system based on people’s councils or consultative councils. In the past, the people used to elect their elite dignitaries to represent them in these people’s councils. The recent uprisings that have shaken the Arab countries is an expression of age-old people’s anger that accumulated and built up over the years. In each and every Arab country, there is a dynasty or a ruling party that sticks to power as a tick sticks to the body of the animal it sucks its blood. Participation in the system of government under such ruling parties and despotic dynasties is only open to those who pledge loyalty and allegiance to them and anyone dissenting or in disagreement with them is excluded. The prisons in the Arab countries are filled with innocent Arab citizens who dared to raise their voices or demanded their human rights. No dissenting voice or opposition is tolerated in the entire Arab countries. The Arab countries can be likened to a big prison without ceiling or open from above. There is a great need for a democratic transformation in the Arab countries and the soonest this is achieved the best. But this cannot happen by fiat or by a wishful thinking. The introduction of transformations requires a lot of work and serious steps and bold initiatives and carefully thought out plans. The Arab citizens at home and abroad, who are dissatisfied with the present situation and state of affairs back home, are called upon to get together and unite their scattered voices. Imagine if the Arabs unite their scattered voices, what a great voice that would be, and remember “unity is strength”. and “United we stand, divided we fall”. - 2 - The party required to lead the caravan is the intellectuals or the intelligentsia, business people, the youth or the rising generation , the students and women. If every one plays his/her role a lot can be accomplished within a short period of time. It is therefore necessary that every effort must be made in order to forge ahead so as to bring about a concrete and noticeable change. It is unwise for us to sit back and watch. Every Arab citizen who has a sense of duty or who has a feeling of responsibility towards his people and his country must get involved in discussions and bring forward ideas that are practicable and beneficial to the cause of the Arab people. In order to move forward and avoid a relapse, we have to elect the best among us to be our new future leaders. And in order to succeed in our new endeavor, we must make sure that no opportunist, or profiteer or self-seeker or a corrupt politician sneaks among us. This is because if such people assume power, they will be more harm than good and they will undermine our people’s just cause and struggle for progress and betterment. Those who hold the reins of government for us must be clean to the core. They must be men and women who give priority to the interests of the people and nation before their personal interests. Our new future leaders must be able and determined to bring about real and tangible change as expeditiously as possible. As the saying goes, “Time and tide wait for no man.” The winds of change have already blown in many Arab parts of the Arab world. Justice has come and injustice and oppression began to vanish and come to an end. على السورقي من صوت اليمن أيها الرائعــون هنا .. عناوين الفكر ومنابر الكلمة موضوعنا الحواري لهدا المساء على جروب برنامج صوت اليمن الإذاعي .. للأستاذة / شفيقة الجماعي مراسلة البرنامج في امريكا تحت عنوان ...لما هذا الانكار لحق الشعب؟ ومن هو المحق وصاحب الحق؟ واين العقل الحكيم الحاكم؟ لماذا لا يستعان بمثقفى وحكماء اليمن؟ اين مثقفى العرب ليختصروا حاله اراقه دماء الناس واهدار اموال البلاد؟ واين نخبه مثقفى اليمن ليس لهم دور جماعياً ملموس لاناره شعبهم وحكومتهم فى هذا الوقت الحرج وليقدموا خطوات حلول سياسيه واجتماعيه؟ خاصه وقد نجح الى حد ما اخوانهم فى الوقت الحرج المماثله فى تونس ومصر والان فى ليبيا؟ فاذا ماجاز لى؛ اقترح تكوين سياسى لمثقفى اليمن اسمه تنظيم مثقفى اليمن السياسى" وذلك لابراز الذات المعرفيه العاليه والحكمه الحضاريه للمساهمه في بناء الدوله اليمنيه الحديثه بموجب اهداف الثورة اليمنية السبتواكتوبرية والدستور مع تحديثه ولانشاء التكيون السياسى الجديد فانه واجب وطنى؛ وعلى كل مثقف حريص على انشاء يمن ديموقراطى حر وموحد وحريص على مكاسب اليمن واليمنين عليه المشاركه بالعمل والرأى الان وفى المكون السياسى القادم. عليكم الانظمام جنبا الى جنب مع بعضكم كا كتله خيره لافاده انفسكم واهليكم فى هذا الوقت الحاسم. موضوع للنقاش والمبادره The Forgatten Queens of Islam Fatima Mernisi http://The Forgotten Queens of Islam - Google Books Result http://books.google.com/books?id=t8toAmyqmN0C&pg=PA115&lpg=PA115&dq=the+Arab+forgotten+queens&source=bl&ots=Mcb_HpE6AB&sig=Q7BQNspeVED1sAhgY6uXYWp3BS8&hl=en&ei=sWKJTbK_BZL4swOoraCeDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=the%20Arab%20forgotten%20queens&f=false
