The Leader of the Revolution spoke at the intellectual
gathering, drawing attention to the paradox in
the
general framework, which is supposed to contain all the
bewildering questions that were presented on the
Arab backwardness in the era of technology and
informatics revolution, the influence of
globalization on the Arab world, unity and
culture; and the questions on the Maghreb Union,
reaching to African unity.
The leader explained that all of those questions focused on
two things; the first, is moral, culture,
development, culture, cultural partnership and
taking interest in Arab culture and so on; the
second, is the material block of the gathering
or the Arab community.
"If we talk about the general framework, which is supposed to
contain all of these bewildering questions, we
will find a paradox in the framework itself. All
of you talked, from the beginning, about the
Arab backwardness, the era of technology and
informatics revolution, the influence of
globalization on the Arab world, the Arab unity
and the Arab culture. You also talked about the
Maghreb Union and the African Union as well.
What you have said focused on two things, the
moral and material.
When we talk about the moral thing; that means we talk about
culture, cultural development, the cultural
partnership, taking interest in the Arab culture
and so on.
The material side of this medium, or the Arab gathering,
united or not; divided or not; backward or not;
colonized or not and so on.
When we say words like video,
television, radio, telephone, transistor,
computer or any other terms, which are commonly
used nowadays, they might not be understood when
we say them in Arabic. Now all children talk
about DVD or CD and other things, which we
ourselves don't know of them.....(More)
