Al Jazeera: Rare Arab self criticism: How True - MEMRI TV

[hatemcarthage]

HOW TRUE !!

[Offendedbysharia]

The tie is a french wear... does arabs knows that?

[Ehecatl008]

Arabs didn even invent the zero. They might have introduced it to Europe, but the fact is that the zero was invented in India during the Gupta Empire. As a matter of fact, the Mayans also had a notion of the zero. 

[3rdWorldUnite]

Nothing went wrong with the Arabs. The Arabs just realized that worldly success is an illusion of this world. They are wise enough to know that. Better to just enjoy life and love your family and friends and be hospitable to your neighbors. The West can take its iphones, its nuclear bombs and its space-craft and shove it. All that means nothing when it comes to the spiritual realities which Arabs understand. And if anyone stands in the way of our happiness, they can go to hell.

[romanisayev5005]

Hahahahahahahaha thanks for this!

[theend1245]

remember the Golden Arab age  ?

[SatchmoSings]

Arabs cannot be stupid because at one time Arab civilization was the pinnacle of man's knowledge. What happened?

[SatchmoSings]

"There is nothing to suggest that the Arabs can be relied upon to produce anything."

Yeah; little Israel gets a five billion dollar CPU factory/research facility from "Intel" while 440,000,000 Arabs in 22 countries can't even attract a factory to sew doll clothes.

440,000,000 Arabs in 22 countries on the same latitude as Israel, and Israel exports more produce than all of them combined.

[Jesuslily]

Can someone tell me who this man is? I would be interested to know his name. Its certainly not easy to stand up and critizise ones own culture and people, but what he said is true for a large part. I also have the experience with Arab friends that they find it incredibly difficult to admit when they do a mistake, they think their honour is more important than anything etc.. and yes indeed Arab men are really loosers in Europe, they behave badly and undemocratic.

[ThinkingAgent12]

The dude is right, rare criticism we will see especially from channels like al jazeera/

[Honorloyalty88]

wow, that guy needs to take a CHILL PILL and go get laid or masturbate or something cuz he has some SERIOUS issues.

sure, as an Arab-American, i'll say it, the modern Arabs are pretty damn low (im talking about ARAB STATES) compared to other states, but we're not NOTHING/LOSERS/ZERO like this dude is saying, holy crap man look at the ARAB SPRING, the average Arab is not a complete dumbfuck like this DUMBFUCK is saying, just give us time and we'll have our own age of enlightenment

[haroos]

@Honorloyalty88 the arab individual is as capable as any in the western world.

the problem is arab mentality which will not allow an individual to rise to his full potential, can you imagine a sacharov in syria ?

can you imagine one in egypt ?

the arab spring changed one dictatorship for another (so it seems to be) what's the difference ?

the arab tribalism is a proof that arab countries are illegitimate and born from western needs.

[2010rawtruth]

Top man, good to see that there are Arabs who speak the truth. By the way does anyone knows his name and his nationality? and what TV was that on?.

[breezeman199]

@KeroKeroFFVII I am not a Jew. Jews are a bad people.

[breezeman199]

Arabs are an extremely backward and ignorant people, full of delusions about themselves.

[breezeman199]

@KeroKeroFFVII Yeah sure, that's why millions of Arabs leave their shitty countries to live in Europe.

[Malwina77ful]

how true

thank Jesus for arabs who are able to think critically and independantly!!!

[ovadia222]

@Malwina77ful to my mind J does not deserve thanks because there are so few Arabs who "think critically and independantly"...

[mjconnollyIII]

@Malwina77ful JESUS IS OF THE LINEAGE OF ISAAC, ALL ARABS ARE OF THE SCUM BUCKET WILD MAN LUNATIC BASTARD SON OF ABRAHAM ISHMAEL, YOU SEAR4CH OUT WHAT THIS MEANS!

[AgimA74]

"some put the zeros on their heads, some sit on them, some on their waists...", this dude is BRILLIANT :D

[HalalKafir]

This guy is fucking brilliant! Too bad he is one of a kind and Arabs are too islamically indoctrinated to see just how beyond pathetic their own world is.

[FrozenPetrolPie]

Its amazing that they even allows this to air, maybe it was live

[ThinkerResearcher]

@FrozenPetrolPie not really ! If you think about it, arabs react violently only when islam is criticized, but they're ok with criticism of law/culture. ( The ones i know actually complain every single day about it lol)

[CandelicaDelJoha]

amazing how they equal civilization with war, and a peace treaty with being loosers. such violent minds!

[Aristotelezz]

Muslims haven't invented the zero. But they did! What they invented is zero.

[0186924]

That; s not an Arab you dumbass. He's a North African Amazigh (berber).

[shagrath1]

Come on Arabs, get rid of your autocrats and prosper again.

from Australia

[RusNad]

you guys are missing the point, arabs may not have invented zero, but in the middle ages arab civilisation flourished. arabs did invent cartography and many other things in the past, today this has changed

[ovadia222]

@RusNad, Muslim Arab civilization was at the forefront of human knowledge in science medicine and the arts at a time when Europe was far behind (thanks to the Catholic church). This had changed when the Printing machine was invented in 1450 and Muslim clerics did not allow to use it for 300 years. Soon the pace of speading knowledge in Europe took off while the Arab world stayed in the slow pace. That's why Arab civilization is behind today.

[Gintoxiccc]

@ovadia222 It starting point was not the letterpress, but the enlightment. To produce I Phone etc, one must escape from gods and God, one must become his God. The reason, why Europe and Japan invents and Asia copies and the Arab buy is innovation, something what is often considered unacceptable in islam

[CandelicaDelJoha]

@ovadia222 they were still enjoying the creativity of the ppl and countries they occupied, thats why they still had knowledge and art. it took several generations under islam for those countries to become as unproductive as the arab world, as the memory of the ancient civilizations was erased methodicaly by islam. if they will be strong enough to occupy others again, they will again enjoy the benefit of their victims' culture for a while, before they destroy that too.

[kynismos]

Didn't the Arabs invent the wheel and nothing much since?

[MrLouZar]

And all this while I thought Indians invented zero.

[awarehumanity]

The guy is talking about Arab delusions while being is delusional himself:

Arabs did not invent ZERO. Zero was invented by the Hindus long before the first Arabs and Muslims reached India.

Secondly The "Egyptian" Arabs lost 1973 war hands down. Israeli army was on the Southern side of Sues Canal with the road to Cairo open, Egyptian army encircled in Sinai. Only the urgent intervention from the USA stopped Israel from utterly destroying the Egyptian Army. Yes, indeed the Arabs are delusional.

[darkillity]

@awarehumanity The invention of the zero part wasn't meant to be taken seriously. What he meant by that is that the Arabs haven't invented anything, period. But the point remains; we are delusional and are immensely indulged in wishful thinking.

[44warjunkie]

@awarehumanity Arabs are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

[mjconnollyIII]

@awarehumanity STUDY BIBLE PROPHECY AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT YET AWAITS THE ARAB ISLAMIC WORLD, THEIR TOTAL EXTERMINATION IS EVEN NOW AT THE DOORS AND NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN OR WILL STOP IT!! THE ONLY NAME FOR GOD AND OF GOD IS "I AM", IN HEBREW THIS IS SEEN AND KNOWN AS "YHWH", EXODUS 3:14 & 15! SAYING "I AM" AND MEANING IT IS WHAT GOT JESUS CRUCIFIED BUT THREE DAYS LATER HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD AND HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE RIGHT NOW & RETURNING SOON IN ABSOLUTE TOTAL GLORY!

[mick061975]

Muslims not Arabs

Arab are good - but islam came and destroy everything

[nounever]

good video.

[morocojin]

what the yankees did ?

[alahemy]

Bullshit! Arabs invented zero and decimal system. Indians did nothing!

[beepu2]

@alahemy you are correct. arabs invented ZERO

[jewjob]

No way , he is a jew...just kidding this is very refreshing to c an arab which is not brain washed

[derunausstehlichekid]

Oh man, this dude was HARSH!

MemriTV always delivers. They get accused of being a zionist propaganda station but while they are selective (like Amnesty or Greenpeace are) they only reflect the reality of what is broadcasted in the Islamic/Arabic world. It shows the struggle of these societies with the modern way of life in all its comical and tragical dimensions.

[t1cTacJ0ey2010]

the arabs 'discovered' and 'invented' a LOT of great things.

Once they had 'discovered' and set foot on India lol.

[angrywinds]

@t1cTacJ0ey2010

Umm, you need to calm down Paki boy. Arabs have always been superior to your lowly sub continent race. That's why you are the servants of Arabs in our countries, and the sweat shop laborers of whites in your countries.

[t1cTacJ0ey2010]

correction - the arabs DID NOT INVENT the 'zero'

the hindus (india) did. including the decimal system.

sorry but i couldn't sit here idly and not point out that gross error by this gent in this vid.

[abbienetvision]

This vid is brilliant. I especially love when he admits that the Arabs are zero and package losing wars as victories. In 1973, Egypt was greatly outnumbering Israel in manpower and artillery, but still Egypt lost the entire Sinai.

For peace, Israel gave it back at Camp David, but this reporter doesn't even know this basic facts.

Thanks for the vid...I would give it 5 stars, if there were stars still (now I can only give it thumbs up...which I did)

[911Bovice]

So I guess I'm not the only one that noticed the huge difference between Arabs in the United States who are doctors, lawyers, and businessmen, and the Arabs of the Middle East who are--well, nothing.

[Fuuin]

That's because, as far as I know, in America, everyone is equal before the law. That is not the case in Europe, where arabs get "Free cards outta jail" because they come from a different culture.

[lahaur]

great video!
