Critique of Western Modernity 1/2
The article relies on criticizing Western modernity from a Bedouin perspective, emphasizing that the modernity that arose from factories and Western developments differs from our Bedouin modernity, which resisted Ottoman and Western dominance for centuries. It also highlights that armed sectarian militias in the Arab world are a product of a modernizing process and contradict the negative stereotypical image of Western modernity. Furthermore, it explains that concepts like slavery and the jizya were old practices before they became illegal, and that the identity of the Islamic nation was shaped through resisting ancient myths. While Arab history also saw significant tolerance toward Jews, despite the distorted image used by Orientalism and the West. Lastly, it clarifies that some concepts, such as religion and identity, when taken out of their historical context, have been exploited to reinforce negative views of Islamic civilization and to whitewash the image of Western modernity.
