Arabs simply don't read cause do they don't believe in reading , they just want to Read
for studying and Graduating , from schools and universities , they just read if they do
the Gossip magazines , and the Tabloid news-papers , or the Holy books cause the other
Books are waste of time!!
They don't know that reading is the essence of a healthy mind , stop reading like
stop exercising , your mind will be timid and dull , and will be clouded by strange
thoughts and fake Ideas looming in the darkness of negligence
Other problem is that , the Arab reader should overcome is the ability to read and write and understand what he is reading not only in his mother tongue but in at least
English language cause it is the most popular language in which you can find books to read , Arabs don't translate and if they do , the translated book won't be of the same quality and attractiveness .
Other obstacle is the price , which is not a real problem , if there is a will
to read , Books could be found like copied CD's and DVD's everywhere and if the
cost of printing is high let the Chinese do it for us , they have the raw materials
people , and they may be able to write and read in Arabic better than us...!
Reading is a skill that should be honed from early stage , so that it grows to be a natural habit , not a burden , as if it's a task that should be accomplished it must be done for the love of reading , and joy of Knowledge otherwise don't bother .
The problem why Arabs don't read is a complicated problem but the main problem is the dominance of the religious thought and books , which is always on demand for print cause they could be easily find their way in the market , other titles are considered
a risk for the publisher, which is really pathetic .
all the Arabs might not read the number of books published by one publishing house in Europe, really shame on Arabs .
According to UNESCO Arabs read annually an average of no more than 7 minutes !!
some might feel this exaggerated, of course should not Include magazines , newspapers
and other publications that don't add any value to your mind, Is this number alarming
enough to let us wake up and start taking actions toward this big Gap , between us and the other advanced countries.
