but can you understand Irans position that azerbaijan is acting against Irans political intrests and that it's very dangerous for Iran to let azernaijan win this war.
would pakistan be ready to let another nation to threat pakistan with ethnic uprising and cannibalize pakistan into pieces? would pakistan allow it's neighbour to let pakistans enemies build a military base there and threating pakistan sending drones over? do you think in that moment that the pakistani political elite would care if the oder country is a muslim country or not? no they would fo what is best for pakistans intrets wheter the others are muslim or not. i don't like it either muslims shouldn't fight each other but thats the reality. history showed us that geopolitics and economy is always prior to relegion and culture.
guys i appologize for my english. i write very fast and never check the text before i post.
I completely understand Iran's reservations, but it needs to co-opt Azerbaycan and not isolate it. Iranian policymakers messed up here.
You have a large and well-integrated Azeri Shia Muslim population in Iran, to the point that even your supreme leader is Azeri.
This issue can become very dangerous, very quickly for Iran.
Gaining the trust of Turks and Azerbaycan'is back should be priority number one for Iran.
Let Syria and Iraq sit in the backburner, the only solution will be a political settlement.
That is why I try not to beat you too much about Azerbaycan.
The problem is the openly Islamophobic, fascist regime in Armenia.
no it doesnt but the state is the state nd thats wat matters nd the state is secular. However, there is one state thats Islamic, IRAN. Its also the only country with an islamic constitution.
What about Afghanistan today under Taliban? What about Pakistan?
All three of us are Islamic republics. We have all influenced each other.
To give some examples, Maulana Maududi and Allama Iqbal had a tremendous influence on Ali Shariati.
Syed Djamaluddin al Afghani (actually Iranian) had a tremendous influence on Egypt, Ottoman Empire, Afghanistan, and the subcontinent.
Sheikh Khomeini (grandson of a Kashmiri scholar, Syed Ahmad Hindi) in turn had a major influence on Pakistani Deobandi scholars such as Maulana Taqi Usmani and Maulana Sami ul Haq which directly influenced the worldview of the Taliban.
Then also there is a long list of Turk, Afghan, and Persian Islamic scholars which have influenced our region (Southwest Asia, Eurasia.)
