 Dear comrade Gorojovsky
     First i find my self forced to comment on your comments :
>{Not larger than the role it plays in current England or USA, where
>the inheritance of a bourgeois revolution carried on under the
>banners of the "proper Bible reading" gave a hold to religion in
>popular thinking that may be paralelled to the one in the Arab world}
  I dont realy think that ,because there is a huge gap in this matter between
the west and the east especialy middle east .The level of devolpment the
capitalism reached is very high in the west comparing to the level the middle
east reached ,that if we suppose that the M.E enterd realy the capitalism
level,and we as a marxist  know how much do econmy affect society. Through the
devolpemnt of the social life in Europe and i am here talking on the industrial
revelution,the Europian society{especialy in west europe} succeded in
curtailmenting the relgion effect, scince was one of the industrial revolution
affects  destroying  the remainders of the feudalism system which relgion is
considerd its social fundimental element.
Comrade savage  described to the list how do relgions and sects govern
lebanon,here i am going to add more of what savge state,from about a year there
was a suggestion for an optional civil marriage{imagine optional} thats mean who
wants can marry under the laws of civil marriage,the result was that all the
relgion men refused, describing us as apeople seeking after creating a
sedition,the worth is that the goverment refused the suggestion,while in Englang
and other western countries they allowed homosexuals to marry themselves, and
you want to tell me that the effect of relgion is same so in the M.E and the
west.
     When i talked about the lebanese civil war i took  the relgion element just
to give you an example to show you how influential relgion is in our region
,although i know very well the material reality that stand behind the religious
strife in lebanon{the region situation,fading of the middle class,the struggle
between USSRand the USA......ect....}but we were not discussing this issue,and
if you want i have no problem to discuss it.
    when i mentioned to the old sturggle between the syrian nation and the
egyptian one i didnt state that the summerian or the pharoses were  nations but
i was trying to show that the people of syrian nation[NOW] and the Egyptian one
are affected by the old struggle of their ancestors{summerian and the
pharoses}.By the way i can reassure you that i have no problem with the a
potential Arab nation moreover my dream is the unity of Arab but dream is a
matter and realty is another one .
  You said  in your email{lebanese left and ignorance}

   Thats what i tried to do by giving an example i tried to prove through it
that peoples of arab world {and not arab homeland} have their own personality
,in another word the fertile crescent arab have many characteristics differ from
those of arabs gulf and the difference belong to the old past struggle and to
the effect of the coloianism,you said that there is something wrong in the act
of the left in lebanon ,yes there is ,and this is one of their mistakes they are
refusing to react with the lebanese own characteristics.Dear comrade i am with
an arab unite but i am arguing  on the method,  the era of radicalism had gone
we must be structual in our solutions ,before talking in an arab unite lets talk
in an fertile crescent unite,arab gulf unite, north africa unite and then we can
see how can these three unites unite.at last i hope you can answer this question
:why did the Suddan communist party {the strongest communist party in arab world
in the 60th and 70th}failed and lets say collapsed,i think that my point of view
will be clearer to you after answering me.
    dear comrade Maclennan: the key is the Arab syrian working class{at least
now at this era and in our region}

  contradiction is life,and similarity is death
