Isolated Groups and Self-Detachment
The article highlights the phenomenon of isolated groups that emerge within society and are characterized by ideological fanaticism, sectarianism, religious fervor, and a closed nature that causes their members to lack awareness of their individual selves. These groups lead to the marginalization of independent self-identity, as the group dominates at the expense of free personality, making violence easier to carry out and fostering veneration of collective belonging. Conversely, open groups—based on individual freedom and the preservation of each person's independent self—promote dialogue and diversity. Unlike isolated groups, which are marked by pressure and coercion, weakening free will and increasing conflicts through rejection of difference, open groups embrace pluralism. The article concludes that the current conflict in the Arab world is manifesting as a struggle between the logic of closed groups—grounded in fanaticism and exclusion—and the logic of open groups that value freedom and diversity.
