The Cold War on the Arab existence - distortion of identity - part six, authored by: Mukhtar Al-Ghut.

I studied in it some of what Arabic has gained in this era of change, following the example of European languages, in structure and meaning. I presented before it an introduction, in which I explained the connection of the language to its people in any case they are upon, how Arabic was in the Age of Ignorance, how it became in Islam, and what it reached in the ages of decline, influenced by Turkish influence, and how it replaced its good qualities, then its resemblance to its highness in the 14th century AH, and what it has come to, following the example of English and French, and the relation of that to the Arabs' wearing of the Western civilization shell. Then I studied the borrowed words and their dominance over the speech of the intellectuals and scholars, and the psychological and civilizational reasons for that, and its prominence in public life: markets, streets, store names, goods, hotels, airports, restaurants, education, technology, etc. I expanded on the opinions of modern linguists on it, discussed them, and weighed them against the opinions of the peoples of the world, and what is similar to consensus on their narrowness towards it, the seriousness of efforts to push it back, considering it a threat to their independence, an assault on their identity, and enacting strict laws to prevent it, and the seriousness of implementing them. I explained what is feared for Arabic from hybridization, which has begun to appear in the speech of speakers, in the writings of authors, in the talks of broadcasters, and in university lectures. I also addressed the recent linguistic duality in the lives of Arabs after September 11, 2001, and the division of what is written in every matter concerning Arabs between Arabic and English, in official and semi-official papers, including the names of departments, ministries, stores, companies, institutions, and street guidance signs, etc. Number of pages: 670
