No, not a muslim. But stating facts is somekind of giveaway to being not muslim? Nothing I have said was false. Ottomans were top dogs of Europe more than 200 years but that doesn't cahnge the fact that their unprogressive policy they ruined any chance of recovery and lead themselves to a national and global embarrassment.
Success lies with technology, human rights and freedom. sadly Ottomans had neither.

I am pretty sure if Turks can shake themselves of their former defeats and disappointments in Independence War and create a new Republic out of the Ottomans ashes, Arabs can do that too and they are starting to do that. Arab spring is a shining example of that fact.
