The author Yaman Al-Sibai says in her book Dancers on Our Wounds (Nations heal their wounds, while we hold onto the extent to widen the wound and make it bleed and bleed until it drowns us in the blood of shame.
And those who want to achieve their goals work constantly, while we are asleep. The wounds have intensified on the body of our nation, diversified and multiplied, some of which have festered and become difficult to heal.
Some are social wounds, some are political, some are economic, some are moral, and some are intellectual and literary. The latter are the subject of our research due to their importance in building or demolishing the edifices of civilization.
And the wounds have deeply afflicted us, to the point that our bodies are covered with a thick veil of them. Until when?? We are a nation whose land has been stolen, a people whose right to self-determination has been taken away. Despite all this, we find our youth to be copies of the effeminate, uninhibited individuals coming to us through the airwaves, who know nothing but dancing and singing, especially foreign singing, and are only proficient in the language of love and romance. And they all carry one weapon composed of a comb and a mirror!!!
- This is the state of the youth. As for the girls, they are a group of effeminate, uninhibited dancers,
Stripping away the veil of morality, philosophizing in the name of freedom).
O nation, whose pastimes made other nations laugh at it - and whose suffering made others prosper.
