Algeria vs Egypt .. The failed Arab countries

Influ­en­tial reli­gious cler­ics like Qarad­hwi made him­self use­ful at last and tried to calm the football-crisis between Alge­ria and Egypt accus­ing gov­ern­ment offi­cials from both coun­tries of esca­lat­ing the prob­lem (offi­cial, gov­ern­ment con­trolled media such as Akbar Al-Youm in Alge­ria, pub­lished today with this head­line on the front page: There will be blood today).

Qard­hawi said that if the foot­ball causes so much hatred among both coun­tries then can­cel this damn game.

At the begin­ning I thought I will never write about this foot­ball game, and I bet respectable writer and Aca­d­e­mic such as Moham­mad Abu Ruman felt the same ’till he feed up and wrote the fol­low­ing today:

Alger­ian and Egypt­ian gov­ern­ments mobi­lize the Arab streets for a foot­ball game … This shows what a fail­ure Arab coun­tries are .. Even sta­ble coun­tries are fail­ure because there sta­bil­ity is fragile.

Arab coun­tries are not coun­tries any­more, they become gangs and Mafias with author­ity and mil­i­tary power.
