Lots of people warned me against talking to, being near Syrians since they are viewed as inherently violent and unstable fanatics who destroyed their country and might destroy anything else they get close to. Much the same with Libyans. A number of Moroccans even had a smug sense that they'd done better than Tunisians for the first time since forever in not knocking their country back with revolutionary anarchy.

Their posts frequently propound such a viewpoint.<br /><br />Egyptian supremacist ideology, in the guise of military supremacism or through ethnic/racial supremacism, cannot be exported because it is inherently unappealing and repulsive to outsiders. Syrians, Libyans, Moroccans, and especially Yemenis do not believe that Egyptians are innately superior to themselves. They do not believe that the racist Egyptian regime has any right to torture and imprison foreigners at will on the stupid and racist basis that "they are all terrorists." Promoters of Egyptian supremacism are starting to cause a backlash where Egyptian nationals are viewed by some other Arab governments are potentially being agents of terrorism and genocide.<br /><br />There is, however, another trend which some Arab dictators promote simultaneously promote alongside supremacism, although it is essentially the opposite ideology..<br /><br />It is laughable that Arab dictators express surprise that some Iranians promote the Iranian nation as being superior to and more capable than Arabs when these same Arab dictators miss no opportunity to portray their own populations in the most negative and vile ways imaginable. There are consequences when dictators deliberately stoke the notion that their own people are squalid filth and subhuman savages. This is not hyperbole; they do this. Claiming that degrading and inhuman "security" measures have to be enacted because the nation is a terrorist cesspool that loves oppression and violence is a thinly-veiled way of saying that that nation is an abomination and an embarrassment to its leaders. It is not a rational way to deal with a terrorist threat. It is used to feed the ego of lunatics who pretend that they are fitted by nature to be superior to the population they control. <br /><br />But promoting this narrative is helping geopolitical enemies win against these dictators. See Iraq and Yemen for examples of how the GCC lunatics shot themselves in the foot. They forces they support are now deemed terrorists by significant portions of the outside world. Arab dictators helped bring about that scenario.<br /><br />Eventually, non-Arab Muslims, and even many Arab Muslims, will have enough of the insane idiots that rule Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Kuwait, Bahrain, and some other of GCC's allies. These leaders are obsessed with dragging vast portions of the world backwards into new dark ages. They also are an important part of the reason why Salafism and other extreme viewpoints exploded throughout the Muslim world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
