Logic shall come first
Published in Alriyadh on 18 - 05 - 2012

T. V. channels Showed very big interest in Gulf consultative meeting held in Riyadh recently and headed by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdulla. I can even say that each T. V. channel was keen to achieve a priority in regard to the various ways of dealing and the attempt of providing an objective dialogue through hosting many characters whose thinking orientations and types of viewpoints are various.
What has attracted my attention, and I am sure that everyone who followed the case could recognized it, was that there were some opinions which were far away from objectivity declared by some people who thought that they are Public opinions leaders while they are just a minority.
We know that whether G. C. C. countries gathered in a unity yesterday or are going to gather in it in the next appointment or even delay it to a later time after the coming meeting; they are still representing the distinguished Arab presence that did not witness any disputes or hostilities among its countries, while we watch, at the same time, the sharp hostilities of the neighboring countries which methods are abnormal and keep the Arab citizen busy by subjective slogans that cannot be applied due to their abandonment of their societies' reality. This did not happen in Gulf region. Many of the Arab societies suffered the rapid change of their regimes, which antagonize whoever was before them and the instability of their societies during such changes & for some time after them, while such suffering did not happen in G. C. C. Countries. In addition, the time line of the natural cooperation between Arabian Gulf countries is more than 70 years which are prior to the cooperation agreement itself.
With such facts, I feel surprised when I hear someone in some discussions whose dialect is not a Gulf dialect and is expressing his opinion as a G. C. C. citizen, which is contradictory to the logic and reality, due to a citizenship that he acquired earlier. Such person was considering that it is difficult to achieve an understanding in a union between countries from which some make their own movies, art theatres and songs while others don't. Gulf countries, first of all, did not achieve creativity in such fields except for the art of singing. Some Gulf nations adopted such arts earlier than the others who adopted them recently but this cannot be considered a problem in front of the other much more important aspects of security, economy, military, education & social awareness development. Another gentleman comes and talks as if he is the wise man of his time, in spite of that he has been living out of his country for decades, believing that being an extremist in his reaction towards his country makes him look a competent intellectual while this is not true due to that he needs a rehabilitation.
Any way; we thank all the T. V. channels for the interest they have shown and for what they have cared to provide of various objective dialogues, ideas, opinion and points of view. Many thanks are addressed, too, to the majority of the brothers who were participating in the said discussions.
