no nationalism

I'm not arab, but I think if arabs could be united it would really be a great thing for them. I don't understand why they never act as a body about he issues they care about (Israel, U.S presence, religion/state etc...). I think it would too easy to blame only the west and israel for this lack of cohesion. Revolutions comes from the streets. And the west doesn't rule theses countries. Arabs should revolt again their rulers if they think they are corrupt by the west. (I'm Canadian)

@Sultan1923 What the hell are you talking about? The Turkish government during the first World War was a fascist, ultra-nationalist, genocidal state that wanted to Turkify the empire. How is that Islamic? And what about all of the Christians (Arab, Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian) who were massacred by the Turks? Do their lives have no meaning to you because you consider them "kafirs"? Fuck off.

@ariyahuda "arms will supply fuel for Israel"...? is that what your "god" is about? You and the Islamic "terrorists" are a match made in heaven...enjoy.

[ariyahuda]

If you can get a Torah read Ezekial 38 and 39...Israel will bury your dead for seven months and your arms will supply fuel for Israel for seven years without cutting down one tree and the armies from the north will be destroyed by 85 %. Don't you Know history?? Israel is Hashem's and so is the land and NO nation survived after raising a hand on HIS PEOPLE.

[EKon235]

5 people must hate arabs

My brother, we all made mistakes. We saw the shiny things the west got as a result of the new world; and we went nuts to get them. I've done more research, and its not just the Turks fault. The day the prophet died, Islam's rise&downfall began simultaneously. Our shite brothers as well, cant get over a murder that happened hundreds of years ago. But thats not the real reason. It never is. Its wealth&power. ALways has been, always will be. Allah have mercy on us all. We sure need it.

peace/salam
