Preying on Identity (The Cold War on Arab Entity)

The book studied the accusations attached to Arabic, such as difficulty, old age, and unfitness for knowledge, and it showed that what was attributed to it was some of it in the exhibition of hatred, and the justification of the call to change it. And he showed that there is no difficult language in the human language, and another easy language in general, and that in every language there is what is difficult and what is easy, and that the difficulty of the language - if it imposes its correctness - does not justify its replacement, but rather it must be considered as a destiny, which people have nothing but to adapt to. There is nothing in languages ​​that is suitable for science and what is not suitable for it, of course, and every great language was once a poor dialect, limited in spread, then it became what it became by the authority of its people, and their hard work in promoting it. There is no meaning to the aging of the language as long as it performs what its people want, and the connection of Arabic life and its progress is one of its virtues. Because it linked the present of the Arabs to their past and their future, and allowed them to benefit from their oldest heritage as they benefit from its most recent, and the lack of contact with others made the heritage of its people written a few centuries ago a foreign heritage, which does not benefit from it except as it benefits from the heritage of foreign languages ​​through translation.
