Why don't we have an Asian Union?

[REhorror]

The one that is quite united is ASEAN and ASEAN is also making East Asian Forum as well by inviting China, Japan, and South Korea

Other potential is OIC,

ASEAN is going to be the bridge, that's for sure.

And Asian Games as well!

 

[Foinikas]

Europe has European Union

Africa has African Union

So why does not Asia have an Asian Union?

You barely have a country right now. No offence.

Even if there was an Asian Union,what do you care? You're in Canada!

China and Japan hate each other, Japan and North Korea hate each other, Japan and South Korea relationship is complicated, South and North Korea hate each other or dislike each other depending on who is president in South Korea , Vietnam and China don't like each other. Indonesia and Malyasia its complicated. India and China don't like each other. India and Pakistan hate each other, Bangladesh and India its complicated, India and Sri Lanka dislike each other, Pakistan and Afghanistan its complicated, Tajikstan and kyrgizstan don't like each other. Saudi and Iran stuff is complicated. So no real unity.

Exactly that. All this text. Also Myanmar and Bangladesh it's complicated.

ASEAN is going to be the bridge, that's for sure.

And Asian Games as well!

The decision made by ASEAN countries to exclude Bangladesh from their group is a good one because Bangladesh, much like Pakistan, is a radical Islamic hellhole. It should be noted that I am not stating that Indian Muslims are any better compared to Bangladeshi or Pakistani Muslims. South Asian Muslims were historically compelled to embrace Islam, and this sense of inferiority resulting from being a converted Muslim race has contributed to a higher inclination towards radicalism among them.

To build a union you first need to be part of the same civilization. EU started off with countries within the Latin Civilization. Later seeing their success, they were joined by countries from Eastern Europe within the Greek civilization.

The best bet in Asia was East Asia (countries within Confucianism). Although the 20th century geopolitical turnarounds, starting from the Communist Revolution in China, have made it next to impossible.

Islam is the one that actually save Indonesia. Without the power of Islamists in Indonesia, we are probably have become communist or divided. Strong Muslim identity has made Soeharto is able to unite the righ wing Armed Force and wipe out Communist power in Indonesia where during that time was the second strongest in Asia, after China.

Dont be fooled by Indians, Indonesian government is pretty much Islamic and has huge Islamic Universities

List of state Islamic universities in Indonesia​

For public, private (including private Islamic), and official universities, see List of universities in Indonesia.
The State Islamic College (PTKIN) is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. There are three types of universities that fall into this category, namely state Islamic universities (UIN), state Islamic institutes (IAIN), and state Islamic colleges (STAIN). Currently, PTKIN has 58 consisting of 29 UIN, 24 IAIN, and 5 STAIN.

Our next President IMO will likely be Ganjar Pranowo, despite coming from secular PDI-P party, his wife is the daugher of great Ulama in East Java and PDI-P is very Anti Israel as well.

Africa is way more diverse, linguistically, racially and culturally. If they can be union (AU), so can Asians.

They are not way more diverse. Asia is more diverse. The African Union is insignificant and does not unify them.

 

[Maira La]

They are not way more diverse. Asia is more diverse. The African Union is insignificant and does not unify them.

That's an extremely racist viewpoint. You are assuming they are not diverse because most of them have black skin.

All Eurasians descend from a small group of people that left Africa 50,000 years ago.

The division between various African groups extends up to 150,000 years before present.

Islam spread in Indonesia and Malaysia in a different manner compared to its spread in Pakistan. Although I respectfully disagree with your perspective on the benefits of Islam in Indonesia, it is true that its impact on Indonesia and Malaysia was not as devastating as it was in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, where significant consequences were experienced. Pakistani Muslims' understanding of Islam has been influenced by 800 years of slavery, an inferiority complex, and the destruction inflicted upon them by Arabs, Afghans, Turks, and Persians. To illustrate this, let's consider the fact that Indonesian Muslims commonly have Indonesian names and do not identify as Arabs. On the other hand, all Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Indian Muslims have Arab and Persian names, and most of them claim to be Arab. It's worth noting that Arabs generally disapprove of this behavior among Muslims from the Indian subcontinent, yet these individuals continue to assert their Arab identity.

No I am not claiming they are "not diverse." That's a strawman. I claimed they are not as diverse as Asians. Tell a Pakistanis he is as "Asian" as a Mongolian.

They won't see the connection. Tell a Japanese they are as "Asian" as a Sri Lankan. They won't see the "connection." Yes North Africans and SS Africans look different.

Linguistically, culturally religiously and even subracially they is a great deal of difference between Africans. Their union does not seem to be a large/significant organizations.

Europeans are much more linguistically, racially, religiously homogeneous.
