yes, enough is enough, and we have to think outside the box to get out of the dilemma in which the wrong decisions put us and caused our continued backwardness, with the increase in the number of extremist mps after each election.
“the electoral districts, whose outputs were known for being progressive and moderate, became competitive with others in extremism, as everyone is looking for populism and the voters’ satisfaction after the majority of the nation has become a captive of extremist religious thought and is unwilling to develop and keep pace with the times, or to get out of the shell of backwardness under the pretext of the often erroneous desire to preserve faith and traditions.
“the government, representatives of political parties, and ideological teachers played a role in injecting poisonous ideas, and most of them know nothing but imposing guardianship on others, even though they are ignorant of all the requirements for managing and building a modern state, and their experience in sudan, iran, egypt, tunisia, and morocco with the religious state is the best evidence.
a study by the planning council concluded that the governorates of al-ahmadi and al-jahra are the most fertile, followed by the governorates of farwaniya and mubarak al-kabeer, and it was found that the least fertile are hawalli and the capital.
fertility in this study does not mean, of course, strength or sexual desire, but only the increase in the number of births. the number of individuals in the urban kuwaiti family is constantly decreasing, an alarm bell for a country of the size and stature of kuwait, compared to some gulf countries, and among the communities of the country itself.
the fertility rate began to decline a few years after the iraqi invasion, and it continued, contrary to what the situation should be, as a result of several factors, including delaying the age of marriage, postponing childbearing, increasing the divorce rate, resorting to abortion and reluctance to marry.
on the other side of society, things were completely different, either because of the control of strict religious forces over them or because of the great role played by government financial incentives in increasing childbearing, which was rejected by the majority of urban families, because they wanted to focus on quality rather than quantity or number, to feel they have a deep sense of responsibility.
it was not surprising, therefore, that parents of students in several regions stood against some schools and principals preventing their children from cheating in school tests, and some of them urged their representatives in the parliament to hold a former education minister accountable for his firmness in the tests. they want their children to succeed, and they do not care how.
the continuation of the situation as it is means the continuation of backwardness and deterioration, and the continuation of some deputies to obstruct the work of the government and preoccupy it with mostly trivial questions and interrogations, related to issues that they may not believe in, but the pressures of their constituents, whose minds have been hijacked by religious parties, push them to adopt them.
the situation is dangerous and miserable and requires expediting a change in the outcome of the elections if we want our “democracy” to continue, and this cannot be achieved without a national reform plan that requires, among many other things, that the government severs its ties to all religious parties, confiscate its movable and immovable funds, and limit its activities, if necessary, in religious matters, and prevent its interference in politics.
the government also must work for the abolition of the entire school curriculum and the immediate use of the saudi curricula, for example, without waiting, gradually adjusting to it, according to our requirements and circumstances.
add to the above allowing philosophical studies and critical thinking, expanding openness to other cultures, focusing on studying morals and good behavior for all academic levels, and focusing on studies of philosophy and foreign languages.
