The damage is done, I would still put most of the blame on Sadam, he had a strategicaly positioned country, a wealth of resources, a rich history to unite the country around and he wasted it all.
Pan-Arabism is a joke, the 2 baath party regimes couldnt bring Syria and Iraq together, consider...
They only got themselves to blame.
Iran flooded the region because Iraq went down, Sadam was a reckless man with illusions of granduer, he did take kuwait, instead of wising up and understanding that bringing Iraq down would bring down the 'wall' blocking turkey and Iran, the apes of the gulf...
When Iraq took kuwait, the country got destroyed, an attack that succeeds in wiping israel would trigger a crusade against the actors, the zionist machine would broadcast it as a new holocast and the rest will be ugly.
Iran and turkey are able to interfere because Iraq was destroyed, which...
As painful as it is to say, but a unity is unlikely.
The brains of Arabia lie in 3 centers, the fertile crescent, the levant and egypt... 2 of 3 are destroyed, and egypt is too weak to do anything.
As for the gulf, the nations there lack full sovereignity and the people are unwilling to fight...
Well, this thread surely went places.
If only the gulfies obsession and fear of Iran made them seek to be more independant, more hard working, less bedouin and more like the Arabs of old...
But no, instead of striving for sovereignity, they paid even more tribute to the west, hundreds of...
Governance is a delicate craft, it is the profession to rule all other professions, getting the right person in the right place is hard in a democracy, the problem could be with Pakistans system itself which I,m not fully familiar with.
You cant trust people to do things for you for free, but...
That being faithful and empathitic would equate to being gullible... it is such a tragic world we live in.
Alas it is true, but do not fear, it is either the corrupt or the apathetic, rational types that can pass the maze of politics and be eligible to rule, I doubt that the people running...
There are probably Chinese who hate China itself, to try and confront the spread of such damaging rheotrics is perfectly fine, assuming what is being said is correctly translated that is, but there is no need to be perplexed and overly sensitive.
People in general value work and acheivement...
This is rich, coming from the nation that waged more illegal wars, imposed more unlawful sanctions and used more forbidden weapons than any other in contemporary history and perhaps all history.
The leader of the greed world indeed.
Oh dear, alright...
Iran is not doing nearly enough to adress the Sunni/Shia shism at the level of teachings and schools of thought. It can do alot to curb the enmity towards key islamic historical figures like Abu-bakr, Umar, prophets wife Aisha whom are revered by Sunnis yet we see many Shia...
Its called propaganda, a person who cares about the 'umah' tries to bring it together and not give any attention to ethicity unless its beneficial.
I am an arab, but because I disagree with some of what the clowns in here say, I was 'magicly' transformed to an iranian... I kid you not.
Just...
Dont let the pointless ethnic debate get to you, Islam is not concerned with ethnicities, arabic ethno-centrism is a trait of bedouin(nomad) arab whom the koran scolded.
Islam flourished when it expanded beyond the arabian peninsula, when it was joined by all ethnicities, check the list of...
I suppose its part of your nature, to pull it out would be to deny you your existence.
Israel is not an exagerated threat, Israel' represents zionism which cannot be viewed as being only about palestine, its policy is to subjugate the entire middle east with gradual bastardization and dilution...
Well the verse didnt specify a particular group of bedouin or a particular timeline also the people of meca were not nomads as they werent moving around, they were settled and mostly worked in trade.
Ofcourse most kafirs came from meca in the early days and were described in other verses of the...
The verse is poorly translared to english, الاعراب means the bedouin of the desert, which is different from Arabs العرب
Bedouins are nomads and dont settle in one place, this life suits arid deserts, not to be confused with urban Arabs that settled near sustained sources of water.
What I envision is irrelevant, Iraq is destroyed and so is Syria and Libya, the rest is not in a bright shape either.
The only option remaining is to salvage and cling to what remains of our Identity and hope for the winds of change.
My posts on the gulf are reactionary, with the exception of...
This is a pointless chatter, you draw from your own mind and insert lines that I never wrote, something that I'm unable to cure you from... sadly.
You are replying to an illusion, this man supporting the polical class in Iraq, the one that questions Karbala's and Najafs arabic heritage, the one...
