human revolution... never arab turk jew europian... we are all humans and we all are controlled by a stinky minority of rich arms dealers and banker. the whole world should learn the lessons from the middle eastern arabic region revolutions.. and we should also learn from the mistakes done during these revolutions.. so we don fall in the same problems they are having now... which is... islamic law that is worse than its previous.. but i trust that the people their wont fall for this ugly trick

@ganjemore You can say middle eastern...

[Tohdette]

@ahmedzs1 It's a predominantly Arab region, what do you expect?

[ganjemore]

Its easier to say Arabs than Egyptians, Syrians, Moroccans etc...

@ahmedzs1 If you live in the north-east of Africa, you should know that that area has been called Arabia for thousands of years, that is where you live and where you were born, Arabia. This is why the BBC have called it the Arab Spring, because it involved many countries in the Arabia area.

@ahmedzs1 Where are you from anyway?

[AerithAndKiari]

@ahmedzs1 No, I mean British/English people don't like being called European, so don't call us it, we have our own county separated by a sea, I think it's better to be referred to your county anyway, it's where your from. Just because you may not like where you are from, doesn't change the fact that you are from there. And I still don't understand where you got the Franks thing, we are nothing to do with the French, we have a completely different country, again, separated by the sea.
