@kyle887923 LOL If Muslims join together to create a caliphate, you and all your warmongering buddies would be the first to send their men and tanks over.

@Tzimnewman3 Ever heard of the mufti of jerusalem and bosnian muslim ss divisions?

[kyle887923]

Second off, France and Britain drew borders around the globe, including in the European continent after the first world war. It had nothing to do with religion.

Superpowers drew the border for the modern world, yet Muslims try and act like solo victims and how we purposely divided them. It's so fruitless.

If they want a single nation or to re-draft borders, then let them do that, they are now soveriegn states and have that right under international law. You want soemthing then do it...

[kyle887923]

This is what annoys me...if Muslims want a single nation state then why not make it. Borders have changed since the 40's and 50's and there seems to be a new country every month getting recognition. They have never made any push for an uma nation. Mst are very patriotic about there country, Turks, Lebanese, Iraqi, ect

Apparently they dont care enough about their homeland to stay in it, which is why millions each year try and get into Europe and North America. Most would leave if they could.

@lozoft9 i heard somewhere that the arabs did ally with the nazis, but because the nazi's respected the arabs unlike the english and the americans. To what point of helping the nazi's i have no idea. But wouldnt you go with someone that respects you than people that think you barbaric??

Karzai is a puppet of the oil majors - he is also very corrupt and totally inept. Fortunately for him, his sphere is only Kabul, he does not dare step out into the provinces.

@Tzimnewman3 "Arabs allied with the Nazis" Oh yeah suuure, just like how "the Rothschilds made a pact with the devil," and "the Jews own the world." Same perpetrator, different victim, my friend.
