Dear Fouad:

(1) Many thanks for your following very interesting paper:

"The Arab world and the Backwardness of Science and Technology and Global University System/Palestine/Gaza Strip and West Bank"
http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Global_University/Global%20University%20System/Southwest%20Asia/Palestine_Gaza%20Strip_&_West%20Bank/GUS_Palestine/Arab%20world%20and%20backwardness..../The%20Arab%20world%20and%20the%20Backwardness%20-Fouad%20copy.pdf

It is good to know the reasons of the backwardness of the science and technology development in Arabic countries.
