Arabic term or phrase: مفصلا
أرادت الحكومة خلق اعتزاز إسلامي وعروبي للجيل الناشئ كيلا يفكر في اعتناق آيدولوجيات وقوميات مستوردة من الخارج. أعطت الحكومة الضوء الأخضر لرجال الدين والوعاظ من أجل هذه المهمة بحسن نية. خرج هؤلاء الوعاظ ورجال الدين عمَّا تريده الحكومة وذلك بفرض الوصاية على المجتمع بشكل يشبه ما حدث في القرون الوسطى في أوروبا. حادثة جهيمان كانت مفصلا في كشف ذلك الخطأ، وهي التي فتحت عيون الحكومة على الخطأ الذي اُرتُكب في المرحلة السابقة
