CMV: Arabs are a lost cause

As an Arab myself, I would really love for someone to tell me that I am wrong and that the Arab world has bright future ahead of it because I lost my hope in Arab world nearly a decade ago and the recent events in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq have crashed every bit of hope i had left.

The Arab world is the laughing stock of the world, nobody take us seriously or want Arab immigrants in their countries. Why should they? Out of 22 Arab countries, 10 are failed states, 5 are stable but poor and have authoritarian regimes, and 6 are rich, but with theocratic monarchies where slavery is still practiced. The only democracy with decent human rights in the Arab world is Tunisia, who's poor, and last year, they have elected a dictator wannabe.

And the conflicts in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq are just embarrassing, Arabs are killing eachother over something that happened 1400 years ago (battle of Karabala) while we are seeing the west trying to get colonize mars.

I don't think Arabs are capable of making a developed democratic state that doesn't violate human rights. it's either secular dictatorship or Islamic dictatorship. When the Arabs have a democracy they always vote for an Islamic dictatorship instead, like what happened in Palestine, Iraq, Egypt, and Tunisia.

"If the Arabs had the choice between two states, secular and religious, they would vote for the religious and flee to the secular."

• Ali Al-Wardi Iraqi sociologist, this quote was quoted in 1952 (over 70 years ago)

Edit: I made this post because I wanted people to change my view yet most comments here are from people who agree with me and are trying to assure me that Arabs are a lost cause, some comments here are tying to blame the west for the current situation in the Arab world but if Japan can rebuild their country and become one of most developed countries in the world after being nuked twice by the US then it's not the west fault that Arabs aren't incapable of rebuilding their own countries.

Edit2: I still think that Arabs are a lost cause, but I was wrong about Tunisia, i shouldn't have compared it to other Arab countries, they are more "liberal" than other Arabs, at least in Arab standards.
