On the Shabbat of September 15 the following congregations in Metropolitan Detroit will salute FALL pan-Arab nationalists and Islamic fundamentalists who find common cause in "driving the American in- fidel from holy Arab soil." Profound mistrust, even hatred, of the West cuts a deep swathe through the Arab world, where honor is the highest value. It is a world whose ;historical memory, a matter of profound shame and humiliation at every level of society, is clouded by the re- cent colonial domination of the British, the French, the Italians, the Germans and the defunct Ottoman empire. It is a world, so misunderstood by the West, where immediate loyalty belongs to family, clan and region, and where the broader, idealistic loyalty belongs to the Arab nation as a whole. It is a world where borders, arbitrarily drawn on maps in the imperial chancelleries of Whitehall, Paris, Rome and Berlin, are irrelevant to the larger Arab nation — united by a common re- ligion, language, culture and tradition — that stretches from the souks of Tangiers and Baghdad to Marrakesh, Damascus, Tunis and Cairo. Ultimately, the lasting legacy of colonialism in the Middle East has been the es- tablishment of artificial sovereign states and the creation of "royal households" whose source of authority remains the unlamented former colonial masters. The political survival of these authoritarian rulers, particularly in the wake of the United States interven- tion, are the living embodi- ment and constant reminder of past shame. As such, they lack legitimacy and are the objects of hatred and ridi- cule. Saddam Hussein, whatever his shortcomings, is perceived as an authentic man-of-the-people; a leader who has emerged from the grass roots, who is prepared to defy the West and pose a credible challenge to Israel, the universal emblem of colonialism in the Arab world. His rhetoric ignites the imagination of the pan- Arabists, fires the expecta- tions of the fundamentalists. Perhaps, after all, the events that are now un- folding in the most volatile and strategically sensitive region are entirely unavoidable, the product of an ineluctible historical pro- cess whose seeds were planted in colonial history 100 years ago. ❑ BAR•ILAN UNIVERSITY MAY ITS PRINCIPLES OF UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY AND CONCERN FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE GUIDE IT IN THE FUTURE AND BE A WORTHY EXAMPLE FOR JEWS EVERYWHERE. stiviro SAVE ON FALL ANNE KLEIN 50 CY° tliff El , -] Litti ANNE KLEIN OUTLET 1 Village Shoppes at Birch Run, Birch Run, MI (517) 624-4773 "Fall" at Giacca Let us Create & Design Your Wardrobe 4' . . . choose your style . . . choose your color . . . choose your fabric from our selection of knits . . . we will do the rest .. .
