The Arab section of PDF was/is normally almost troll free but this thread has proven this wrong. Amazing what a few deluded trolls, mostly non-Arabs, can do to a thread. Not sure whether to laugh or cry anymore. Some of the statements, claims, rankings etc.:lol: Minorities in a country that...

Who? George W. Bush?:o::rofl: The one that created this mess in the first place. How tragicomical. How can Anbar be losing ground to Daesh? How is that even possible after all the recent gains, coalition air bombardments etc.? Tribal leader: Iraqi troops in Anbar province could 'collapse...

Great photos. Those must be Punjabis if I am not wrong. Great people. A lot of them in the GCC. I really like horses but camels are also very useful animals and underrated. For millenniums they were the most expensive land animal outside of the horse. Many people across the world depended on...

Yes, I have noticed a sometimes striking resembles in the appearance of certain Bedouins and Pashtuns. Must be the often long beards, hair and clothing. Bedouins just like Pashtuns (Baloch too) have very strong honor codes and they also value hospitality a lot. I noticed those similarity ages...

Hijazi vs Najdi rivalry.:lol: Large sectors of societies in the Arab world look down on Bedouins for some strange reason. They consider them as the rednecks of the Arab world. I consider them as very cool people though that are unique. Real survivors and how can one dislike a people with such a...

Since you asked for photos of Bedouins. I found some old photos. Some from the UAE as well. @Nawaba Bedouin Warrior, ca.1898-1914 by Jared Enos, on Flickr 037 by oboudiold, on Flickr Cavalry-Arab by oboudiold, on Flickr IMG_0350 by oboudiold, on Flickr IMG_0355 by oboudiold, on Flickr...

My fault.:lol: Check the post I was referring too earlier.

There is no such a thing as a "true" Arab my friend. During the time of Prophet Muhamamd (saws) most of the Arabian Peninsula was settled. It's home to some of the oldest civilizations on the planet after all and some of the oldest continuously inhabited cities. Bedouins are a part of the...

Well, I gave you the official GDP per capita (nominal) of every country in the world. So you can see whether I am wrong or not based on that.:) That is mostly anti-KSA propaganda (which the Mullah's in Iran specialize in) and I have seen a similar article on some Farsi Mullah news media showing...

With all due respect sir then the average Saudi Arabian has a GDP (nominal) per capita that is over 20 times higher than the average Pakistani. List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There is close to no proud Bedouins left in KSA anymore. The poor...

What do you mean with "not UAE in general"? Ever visited Abu Dhabi for instance or other emirates in UAE? They are much better off than 99% of all Muslims countries. The transition has been remarkable. UAE is now a famous tourist spot and a major aviation hub (the Dubai airport being the most...

Those were mostly Emiratis and Qataris. Other areas of the Arabian Peninsula were relatively well off for the standards back then. See post 5. For instance famines were unknown. Outside the one UAE experienced 80-70 years ago where ironically people of nearby countries made donations. Give me a...

Change that to Emiratis and Qataris. Ironically the two wealthiest "Khaliji states". Kuwaitis were not poor and Oman was a wealthy regional and colonial power with numerous possessions in East Africa, South Asia (including what is today Pakistan - Gwadar for instance was sold to Pakistan by the...

UAE was historically always the most poor, isolated and least important area of Eastern Arabia which otherwise is one of the oldest historical regions in the world that always had ties with major civilizations in the region. Eastern Arabia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was sparsely...

This thread should be moved to the Arab section of the forum brother. Let's see if one of the staff members will help do that if I ask them politely. @WebMaster @Horus @Jungibaaz @Chak Bamu @Jango @Emmie @Manticore @waz @T-Faz etc.

Yes, I am very proud that my ancestors and that of other Hijazis and Arabians created 4 of the 11 largest empires in human history (Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasids, Fatimid) and dozens of others and spread Islam, Sufism and all the most important Muslim sects to all corners of the world. KSA as the...

Two distinct people. One is Arab and the other is not. By that logic Arabs and Jews are the same. USS Cole happened outside of Yemen almost 15 years ago. The attack was a small attack considering what is going on otherwise in war torn countries. Yes, the Embassy bombings in 1998 were the work...

Europe is overall fine. Outside of Eastern Ukraine. We are dealing with a microscopic amount of deranged individuals. This attack is unprecedented in Denmark which otherwise has been in the limelight of radicals for over 13 years due to participating in the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and the...

Outside of 9/11 I can't think of 1 single international terrorist attack done by Arabs despite there being 450 million of us and many of our countries being war torn. No, the Charlie Hebdo attack was done by 2 Berber brothers. Most of the terrorists in the 2004 Madrid train bombings were...

First of all then you have proven to be an idiot with that comment. Secondly we don't know the identity of those 2 attackers. Shouting Allahu Akbar does not make you an Arab. Millions upon millions of non-Arabs speak Arabic. After all it's in the top 5 of most spoken languages in the world. A...
