The Cold War on the Arab existence – language is identity – part one, by Mukhtar Al-Ghut.

Languages are peoples; because they are the record of their heritage, and what their hearts contain of feelings, and their imaginations of images, and their minds of ideas. This book has concerned itself with explaining the relationship between language and culture; to show its danger, and its place in the mind and identity, and that what the Arabs face today of cunning, and aggression, and what is launched against them of raids, aims to erase the memories of the Arabs, and to obliterate their identity; as pride in identity is what is built upon the feeling of distinction, and resistance to melting, and submission, and when the identity is erased, that feeling and resistance are replaced by a tendency to resemble the dominant, seeking perfection, and compensating for deficiency. The book clarified what results from realizing the importance of language to identity, from the concern of aware peoples for their languages, protecting them, honoring them, and elevating them to the highest ranks in their lives, and balanced that with what the Arabs are doing today to the Arabic language.
