They speak both languages. And Maghreb wasn't Arabic until only the 16th and 17th centuries. The region became Arabized and Francophone at roughly the same time period. Prior to that, the region was ruled by Muslim Berber dynasties since Abbassid times and after. Berber (Amazigh) languages were...

Well that's why I'm always educating people of Muslim genocides past and present. Most people seem to be unaware and unwilling to do anything about it, past and present. I've kind of realized that's not going to change. So am I now pretty anti status quo. We have gone "past the point of saving"...

I just told you Francophone peoples do not value Anglophones. They can say the same thing about us, that you are being more English than the English themselves. Because in UK there exist Celtic languages, in Canada there is French, in US there is Spanish, etc. Francophone people love the...

Why would they care? They already speak French. People who are Francophone do not give two shits about Anglophiles. Even Maghrebi Arabic isn't mutually intelligible with Middle-Eastern Arabic. So even if they just stuck with Arabic they still wouldn't be able to fully communicate with other...

Devaluing French doesn't really make sense. They became part of the larger network where French was lingua franca. Knowing a common lingua franca helps with personal communication as well as trade and cultural exchange. They would need a lingua franca regardless, if it was just Arabic then they...

I've lived in the West and the Muslim world. The level of advancement in both are quite different....Not sure how you can deny that. The West is building tech right now that is unfathomable. Killer robots, nuclear weapons, etc. They could pick and choose any Muslim country to destroy, and the...

Rivalry doesn't need to have products sold, or any third party whatsoever. If you and some compete, you are rivals. The competition can be exclusive between you two alone, no one else involved. Both countries have similar culture, but different political systems. Both countries are on opposite...

No I am not Palestinian native. And nope, I don't believe it. The Muslim world is improving incrementally but the Kuffar are improving exponentially. The Muslim world turn a blind eye to genocides. This has been the reality for several hundred years, but especially of recent history. Rohingya...

You don't even believe what you're saying... "Algeria is not a rival of Morocco" and then "Western Sahara has Algeria..They will have an indépendant state" Of course you are rivals. You think if another state wants to liberate half of your country from you you're not going to have some tension...

Saudi gets away with its crimes because the wider Muslim World are a bunch of morons. No surprise there when the so-called Ummah turned a blind eye to just about every genocide against Muslims in the last several centuries. It is no secret, all the news is out there if one just bothers looking...

As long as Turkey fails to create a sense of loyalty and friendship among Kurds, it's going to continue to have that liability and which will be taken advantage of by its enemies. The PKK/YPG is more popular worldwide now than it was ever before in history. This doesn't seem to be changing.

And Ottoman soon lost control of that area because it was stretched out too far. They were de facto independent in all but name. North Africa is ruled by Arab regimes and whenever Saudi makes a declaration they all fall in line and support it. If Algeria of all people is complaining about...

Turkey needs to be very careful with how it deals with these states. In Libya and Syria both, it benefited the Saudis and the West. I don't see how it benefited Turkey one bit. Remember that Gaddafi was once heavily backing revolutionaries around the world, but ultimately he was destroyed by...

Terrorist is a subjective label, one could argue they're run by terrorists. But let's go with your definition. Two words: Afghanistan, Chechnya.

Let me call up the Soviet Union. Just a minute....

No, but there's going to be proxy warfare on your doorstep within a matter of years after the US pulls out of Afghanistan.

I'm not going to do anything myself. But I'm sure someone over there has a bullet with your name on it. Just speculating... The West is slowly but surely cutting ties with China. But glad to see you respond the way you did when I mentioned Circassians. Once again confirming you guys DO indeed...

I know very well about Russia. I just mentioned the Circassians not long ago. I don't want to see the same happen to other Muslim ethnic groups. We're not in the West. The Old World follows Old Rules. Regardless of that, the modern age has different perceptions of how populations and treatment...

Yeah just like how your history books claim the South China Sea belongs to you because it has china on the name or some Chinese fisherman fished their once. Chinese can breathe air somewhere and will claim it belongs to them. This type of mentality is why China steals copyrights and ideas. A...

Just because the Han empires in the past conquered Xinjiang/Uyghurstan at different points in the past for a brief time doesn't mean that the Han now there are from back then. Every Uighur can trace their history in the region for hundreds of years whereas most of the Han in Xinjiang have only...
