Wael, there is alcohol and drugs in the Arab world. It is common, and it has to do with lack of faith. It has nothing to do with the culture at all.

Many advancements from modern science came from muslims, which muslims like to mention often. So they are proud of that. Good political, legal and economic systems create a stable country with a stable economy. Thats quite universal too. Even the arab and muslim countries that are ''developed'' arent stable because of underdeveloped political and legal systems, especially. Technological expertise is quite important as well or youll be buying all youre products giving $$$$$$$ to other countries. And countries in general under the realist world model prefer to be self sufficient in important things. The environment is always good to take care of because that is how we are able to survive. We should kiss the trees, they give us life. Not cement. Plus the quran cares about it if that gives you incentive : http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503544990 OR arab governments can not care about those things and when the oil runs out and the world hasnt got vested interests in them anymore, theyll realise (maybe).

No really think of it this way: We love our family members. That's why we don't want them leaving the motherland for another place and when they do leave we much such a huge fuse trying to guilt-trip them into staying. We like it when our kids marry inside the tribe since they'll always be a stones throw away...and if not at least they'll be living with family so when we visit we can see them both! (Married of child and the family of the spouse) We love each other...and we all know that love is selfish, jealous and self centered. So it's not surprise that there's internal strife. And when it's not brother against brother then it's those brothers against their cousin. And if it's an outsider than we're all willing to put our differences in the short run to rally to each others cause. As for those who bitch about Arabs not contributing to Modern culture...it's because...well look at it this way. Have you noticed that the majority of the Hero roles in Hollywood are filled by white people and us colored folk fill out the rest...? Modern culture is something like that. If you aren't the same than you're out. Also why should we keep telling what we contributed or didn't contribute. You want to know, you search for it. Arabs are all about love!

Hospitality and generosity maybe. And other than providing oil (50% of oil reserves) How about social, political, economic, technological, legal advancements. I cant think of one arab country thats a leader of any of those mentioned. Its really sad, especially since Arabs have quite a lot of pride. Even hunter gatherer societies pre-dating religion at least had good social and political systems. What influences have arabs had on modern culture? Hospitality and generosity maybe.

In his house, he had a bidet. And he was telling the audience that the bidet is used to wash your feet. very funny.
