<< IMO, Arabs are honorable, and the primary cause of stagnation has been western colonialism. >>

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Jews had half their population annihilated. Many of the rest had all their possessions stolen. Faced with world wide antiSemitism and oppression, and constant ongoing Arab hostilities, the Jews built a very powerful and successful state, highly skilled in the arts, sciences and military.

Arabs, OTOH, have vast oil resources, and their countries are totally governed by Arabs. How many centuries more, will Arabs need, to get over their "colonialism excuse" for their total failure as a society?
