"incapable of independent thinking"
In an interview last month on Al-Arabiya TV, former Saudi Shura Council member Ibrahim Al-Buleihi said that Arab individualism has been erased, rendering the Arab "incapable of independent thinking," and that what prevails is "the spirit of the herd that cannot free itself from the captivity of the prevailing culture."
In the interview, which aired on February 26, 2010, Al-Buleihi sang the praises of Western civilization, saying that notions such as human rights are not "an accumulated achievement, in which all societies played a role, but an achievement of the West." Arab societies "should benefit from this rich experience," rather than remaining "a burden on the West."

There are too many bastards in the world for me to keep track of. In response to this, God has proposed to keep track of who is deserving of punishment in this life, and promises to page me when He needs me to take out specific individuals. Since I have reason to believe that my spiritual pager is more sensitive than 90% of those held by church leaders, and have noticed that God does not give any task to anyone without promising divine aid and power to carry it out, I find this a mutually satisfactory arrangement that permits me to place my attention on more important matters closer to hand, while retaining the pleasant knowledge that Divine Justice will have its way. Eventually.
