How do you define al-uruba (arabness)? What is the difference with
Arab nationalism?
It is not easy to define al-uruba. It seems obvious that it refers to all that belongs to al-arabiya (beeing Arab): language, civilisation and history…We say
beeing Arab and being Arabs.
There is a difference between arabness and arab nationalism.
Arabness is an emotion, an existantial feeling (...)
What are the origins of the Pan-arab ideology? What are its primary
influences? what are the different Pan-arab currents?
The roots of Arab nationalism are very old; they are linked to era of enlightment
initiated bu Arabs, Les racines du nationalisme arabe sont très anciennes, elles
sont liées à une ère de lumières que les arabes avaient initiés, especially with the
emergence of Islam, which constituted the deepest roots or (...)
Does the Pan-Arab ideology continue to exist in 2015? Is it different
from what it was, initially?
The Arab nationalism, as an ideology today, experience a decline and recession

Is the Arab nationalism percieved in the same way throughout the
Arab world?
The Arab nationalism is not percieved everywhere in the same way. In the Maghreb, the nationalist school of thought emerged at a later stage (...)
Shall we talk about an Arab world as a political entity? Is there an
Arab world or only an Arab-speaking world?
There is no «Arab world», it is perhaps a dream or a romantic horizon. What is
linking the Arabs of Huran, those from Sudan or Arabs of North Africa? Nothing
but the language and the ancient history of the Arabic Islam. When it comes to
personnality, culture, way of life, mental and behavioural structure (...)
Do you think we could see in the future a rebirth or a new vision of
Panarabism?
The Arab rebirth (en-nahdha al-arabiya), again, is not for tomorrow. Wars,
poverty, under-devlopment and the decrease of oil flow or its bad management
contribute to block the Arab resurrection in the 21st century.
But the most important competitor, preventing the progress of such resurrection, is political islam, whether it relates to the Muslim brotherhood or the salafists takfirist, who use the «tank» of arabness (...)
