riority. In fact, most of these people are not particularly talented writers any-
way, but they are in one way or another made into authors. These people
are first provided with an opportunity to write for the domestic market and
later for international web sites or newspapers. They then become "famous."
And all these writings are supervised and are usually totally rewritten by
those who provide those opportunities. It begins with advice along the lines
of "Do you not think it might be better to say such and such instead?" after
which these writings gradually come to entirely support the views and inter-
ests of those sinister forces. That is the trickery lying behind dozens of articles
in the international arena against a Muslim country or Muslims that obvious-
ly all share a common source.

At the basis of this system is the pseudointellectual sycophantic character of
various writers in the Middle East and Asia. Let us now look at that pseudoin-
tellectual sycophant character in more detail:

The Defeatism That Stems from an Inferiority Complex

The inferiority complex is a widespread psychological problem in the Middle
East and Asia. The complex derives from a person regarding himself as
unworthy in the face of someone else, particularly someone whom he
regards as superior. Many people from Asia and the Middle East are self-
conscious right from the outset, due to the color of their skin, the different lan-
guages they speak or the fact that their resources are relatively less than
those of the West. According to such people's sickly mindset, being born in
a Middle Eastern or Asian country, being an Arab, Pakistani, Indian, or Egypt-
ian, is enough to feel inferior. Those born in the West must necessarily be
superior to them.

Since they have no self-respect, these people are unable to develop a char-
acter that will be respected by others. They are deeply pained by their feel-
ings of inferiority in the face of those they regard as their "superiors" and they
strive to cover that sense of inferiority up by striving to be happy and con-
tent. They are always trying to prove themselves to the people for whom they
act as pseudointellectual sycophants. They therefore advocate not their own
ideas, but those imposed on them by others, and imagine that they will enjoy
greater esteem by doing so. They live, not a true life, but one shaped by the
idea of, "if you do this, you will be admired."
