I don't know where he's planning to go with this. What if those devices that he has supposedly planted are massive...that's what I'm more worried about.

Turkey has nothing to do with Uyghurs, and the only other Turkic group they hold influence over is little old Azerbaijan. Yes there is a Turkic language based alliance but it is missing MANY groups who are under the Russian sphere of influence. I think some Chinese members here are trying to...

Israel is in a completely different category, it has successfully defended itself against a much larger and stronger enemy (the Arabs who fought Israel were not human shields like in today's conflicts)... Israel is not much different from Pakistan in many ways... the Palestinians though are...

No problem, keep your chin up mate the entire English world is with Australia in her time of need.

I don't understand why Iran just doesn't buy jets from Russia and call it a day.

That wasn't an ISIS flag he had them hold up, it was a generic flag that has been used by the Taliban and many Islamic terror groups (it is their religious slogan or "Shahada" and white and black are the favoured colours of their Prophet Mohamed).

This notion of "police brutality" isn't new. It's just that, with the proliferation of mass media, citizen journalism and the internet, people are blowing it out of proportion. The U.S. has ALWAYS been a police state and it's because of their heritage as a frontiersmen who value the right to...

You're right, it is strange that some Islamic Republics would talk about brotherhood with Turkey but then stay silent while China suppresses a Turkic Muslim group. Tells you a lot about Muslims in general.

That's why it's not going to fall. That's one of the advantages of a military alliance amongst the most industrialized and prosperous nations on earth.

Turkic nations completely under Russia's influence and control. Furthermore there is severe ethnic tension amongst the Turkic world. Key player: Turkey -finding itself in a real hot mess. Pakistan - Will always have an uphill battle with India, Iran and Afghanistan as neighbors and no clear...

I believe the Palestinians are discrediting their legitimacy in Gaza. Just recently Hamas held a military parade showing off a few pickup trucks loaded up with teenage fighters. They bragged about the coming military defeat of Israel. This is not the way to win.

Pakistan and China Turkey should see itself as the champion of the Turkic but right now it sees itself as a regional power that needs to cozy up with the Arabs. Turkey has strategically diverted from its past partnership with Israel and is now cozying up with the Arab world, which can be a...

You are being very stubborn. The white man is doing very little crying. Your chest thumping is the wrong reaction. Everything has to be turned into a "1400 year" war scenario. Nowhere did I say or insinuate that I want Muslims to disappear. I just want the ones with the long beards to choose...

Very tragic that Turkey has chosen to go down this road. The "Pakistanization" of Anatolia is thoroughly underway. That's a term being freely thrown around the IR world recently.

Add more deflection in your posts, it's what your community really needs right now.

Burmese Muslims are closely related to the Hui Muslims of China (the Hui people are Han Chinese with Arab and Persian heritage as well). There are many Hui Chinese who are high up in the Chinese establishment. I am sure they are looking at the situation carefully.

It's unfortunate that the institutions these extremists are intermingling with are doing very little to police their own ranks and making a positive difference in their communities with robust and organized initiatives to bring Muslims and Westerners closer together. People are confused and...

From what history teaches us, Uyghurs are not the only Turkic ethnic group in China. The variable present in Turkic history across Asia and Eurasia through the ages is that there have been moments of extreme hatred amongst Turkic groups even while sharing very similar languages and cultures, and...
