The Extended Abstract:
Vision is always a question of the power to see and perhaps of the violence implicit in our visualizing practices.

[Conclusion]
Given the bitter historical experience – the dominance of Arab nationalism over Islamic unity – one should be wary of Western and non-Western constructions that impose Arab sentiments under the Arab Spring banner on the Islamic awakening.
