Through more than a century and a half, the Arabs have been undoubtedly able to achieve an intellectual and cultural renaissance. They have led staunch national liberation wars, and they are still leading others in Palestine and elsewhere. They have built states or rather the structures of modern states still standing on their socles despite the interior and exterior violent tremors they have faced. They have started agricultural, industrial and scientific transformations not much different from what did other nations.
