was recently highlighted in this space [ see A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose ... , posted March 10, 2010 ] the existence of a dispute , not just a big difference between Persians and Arabs about the strait separating Iran from the Arabian Peninsula and s 'embodying the names in competitive: Persian Gulf vs. Arabian Gulf.
In "Arab League: The House Is A Mess", published by Al-Jazeera [1] October 9, 2010, returning to the Arab League conference [2] held October 8, 2010 in Sirte (Libya), and for the principal purpose of adopting a common position regarding the future of peace talks (!) between Palestinians and Israelis "Hashem recognizes Ahelbarra very oblique that this dispute, seriously, does exist but it moves the seat, relocating in what he calls "the divided nature of the League ", and try to make a difference" political ", that is to say that can possibly be absorbed after a dialogue -" muscular "as needed .
After deploring that the position of Libya, Syria and Yemen, who believe that "the Arab peace initiative [3] is outdated and that the Arabs should adopt a firmer attitude about the expansion of settlements in the West Bank "was not chosen because of opposition from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan who believe they, that the only way to get international support for peace efforts in the Middle East, is to invite the U.S. to play a more aggressive role, given their stature influencing agent for peace, " giving way to a formulation - that it considers fuzzy - mentioning a few alternatives - which implies that they seem unconvincing him - Ahelbarra Hashem wrote:
"But it is a proposal of the charismatic (!) Secretary of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, that produced the most sparks. Amr Moussa is convinced that the Arab League should invite key players in the region - mainly Iran and Turkey - to take part in Arab summits and give them a voice when it comes to certain decisions of interest common.
The proposal was nipped in the bud. The Arab League is composed of mainly Sunni country, skeptical of Iran. Saudi Arabia, like Egypt, has accused Iran on several occasions to spread Shiism in the Middle East and Africa North.
In 2009, Morocco has cut ties with Iran after wearing the same charge. "
other words, a proposal for strategic-political allure of charismatic (!) Secretary of the Arab League ", a proposal to rationality evident in one respect, was dismissed for a reason to rationality more elusive, suggesting that the Arab League is a curious bubbling cauldron in which national identities, ethnic and religious place institutional political deliberation that the "modernists" - Libya? Syria? Yemen? Amr Moussa? - in it, and their champions, expect it to be ...
oblique recognition of the serious and profound dispute between Persians and Arabs therefore equivalent to a denial: there is Indeed, Turkey has disappeared from the list of actors, presumably to maintain the supposed relevance of the opposition Sunni / Shia. Plus Ahelbarra Hashem seems to have a very elastic notion of what constitutes a name crucial in the context, writing:
"The summit opened with a bang and ended with little result. But avoiding serious debate about reforming [ League ] , restraining himself to issue press releases and create monitoring committees, the Arab League might well follow a dangerous path . Already suffering from a wide credibility gap, she risks further alienating millions of Arabs from Morocco to Saudi Arabia who want to see real work and not just the finesse of detail. "
Millions of Muslims, of course, but "Arab"? Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia? Sudan?
This means that Hashem Ahelbarra evidence, but does not say - but not deliberate, no doubt, but because it is not "psychologically" not possible, because it is caught in the dispute - is: Muslims (peri-Mediterranean) Arab - the Persian not Arab, nor Turkish, Bosnian or, for that matter ...
So there dispute between Arabs and non Arabs (not to be distracted by some ad hoc alliances involving very duplicitous Syria, for example) of the southern Mediterranean, claiming the same book, which reads dispute / means in at very nearly the language and embodied in a "reality" ethnic: in other words a racialist fantasy, over-determining and controlling the appearance of religious conflict between two opposite branches of Islam.
Already, the Iran / Iraq ...
observe that the invitation to participate in debates and having "a voice when it comes to certain decisions of common interest" who did not come from the Arab League, the Persian has officially accepted the Lebanese government, thereby giving the opportunity to inspect what he considers "his" border with Israel
" Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was welcomed [in Lebanon] Wednesday, October 13 [2010] by thousands of Lebanese - mostly supporters of Hezbollah ... " [4].
also remember that the United States has decided there just to sell " 84 F-15 fighters, 70 Apache helicopters, 72 Black Hawk and Little Bird 36 to Saudi Arabia, the equivalent quarter of the current fleet of the country ... and to help Saudi Arabia to improve its system of missile defense ... "reports the Telegraph, which comments and information:
" The contract will raise concerns about the militarization of the Gulf States and Middle East ... partly driven by the development Iran's nuclear program ... " [5].
The dispute continues, even worse, and after the cauldron.
