What does living in a Western country have to do with anything? If you think somehow secularism is the reason the West is much more advanced then the rest of the world then you are incredibly wrong. Liberalization, decentrilization, democracy, a thriving middle-class, and lasseiz-faire economy is what propelled the West to progress. Secularism had nothing to do with it. Here is a good book about the topic if your interested.
I don't drink alcohol, commit illicit sex, gamble, wear revealing clothing, go to concerts/parties, or steal. I pray five times a day, fast in Ramadan, and pay alms. So tell me, why should I not want Shariah Law and why should I not dislike secularism? Especially French style laicete, where Muslims are oppressed in public institutions? And your implicit threat was unnecessary but expected. I'd like to see you say "People like you deserve to be..." in my face, though I know you wouldn't have the guts. People like you can only threaten behind a screen.
No, that’s not true. They were Arameanized and Christianized then Arabized and Islamized. Palestinians are closer to ancient Judeans than any Jewish people. Which makes sense because Judaism spread through proselytizing

While I share your animosity for MEK and consider them treasonous, your comment makes me think you may be missing some of the real history here. It is not really polite conversation for Iranians anymore, but MEK did have a political origin inside Iran. An excellent book on this is "The Iranian Mojahedin" by Ervand Abrahamian.
An amazing book on his lifthe shadow commander he had no secondary education and was more interested in karate and body building. He was even turned away once by the IRGC when he tried to volunteer.

When the British Empire took Zanzibar and forced Omani to accept British control. Through British control, Omanis learned to behave like civilized people. The British gave Omani civilization and kindness. Stopping the 400 year old slave trade.
Many Mizrahim or Arab Jews from Yemen, Iraq, Morocco, and Egypt came to Israel after their governments were bribed and their communities terrorised by Jewish groups who wanted to expedite immigration into Israel. The idea of a voluntary expulsion by the Arab world is not entirely factual.
They did this to increase Israeli legitimacy and fight the Arabs. Meanwhile, Mizrahim were treated as second class citizens, put in camps outside of cities, systematically discriminated against, and had their children stolen.
The education levels and wealth of Mizrahim is lower to this day, when compared to Ashkenazi Jews.
We know this for a fact.
I think the gist of the book was validated by Shlomo Sands and others. https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Invention-Jewish-People/dp/B09XY13BKB/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=55209442039&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyMKbBhD1ARIsANs7rEGu1KQSSUPJUa5LGdMVOy9mwAx35XMjG4vh4csERBGyR1GgplRhAUgaAtuVEALw_wcB&hvadid=274736825953&hvdev=m&...

When you're done with your meltdown, consider reading a book. It's a hell of a lot better than whatever you think you're doing above. See what a non Muslim like yourself has to say about a world where Islam has never existed. Link.
I consider myself somewhat of a small enthusiast about sabbateanism (jewish messianic heretical movement that went underground known derogatorily as the ‘donmeh’) and frankism (a later somewhat counterpart to sabbateanism which took root in Turkey and Podolia)
Book recommendations: - “the mystical messiah” - “the mixed multitude”
Read the Quran with its tafsir, from start to finish. I would recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/Study-Quran-New-Translation-Commentary/dp/0061125873
Then read a book about the Prophets life. Dor that, I would suggest this: https://www.amazon.com/Ar-Raheeq-Al-Makhtum-Sealed-Nectar-Biography/dp/1591440718/ref=asc_df_1591440718/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312446862670&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13563215542825000200&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvq...
You gotta know what your hating to be good at hating it. 🧠🧠🧠
“God for Trump” wtf
They basically treat him like a god. In some cases, they literally do
Related note, this is a very good study of Arab military ineffectiveness: https://www.amazon.com/Armies-Sand-Present-Military-Effectiveness/dp/0190906960
I was reading a book on Pakistani history a few days ago. Can confirm it begins with the Indus valley civilization (actually that's the second chapter, the first chapter talked about tectonic plate movement and how it caused the geography and weather of Pakistan, and the effects of it), since most cities from Indus valley civilizations are located in Pakistan.
Just found it. I read about the saying in this book. It was popular in the pentagon as a joke. I will tell you the page number once I find it

This is an actual credible book btw, not a half-assed google search like you did
Israel wiped out air support for the Egyptian military by striking the first blow and wiping out Egypt's Air Force. This meant that Egypt would not be able to launch a meaningful ground invasion.
At this point, even assuming Naser was going to invade Israeli territory in the first place, the war was over. Egypt could not have launched a ground invasion, even if it wanted to. But Israel proceeded to take the Saini. At this point, in the words of historian Tom Segev, the war was no longer a war of necessity but became a war of choice.
I had a friend in Tangier who ran a perfume and scents store, while having a decent success with his merchandise and his distinguished clients, he would make sure to get out of his counter and bring the products outside for these 220+ pound gulf arabs to try in their cars once they snap their fingers hard enough for him to hear.
​
That to say he would recommend this https://www.amazon.com/Fiebings-Sole-Edge-Heel-Polish/dp/B001O4VGVI if you would like to lick their shoes harder and longer.
>first nation to accept Christianity
According to Oxford University It is Ethiopia tho . Armenia was second and Georgia was third
I found a kaguya body pillow on amazon for 21 usd including delivery
They give rarely reasons, but I think they give them if you ask them. Here it's obvious, because the hadiths I gave you in the first comment is strictly against music and singing, but you can normally contact them by writing them on Whatsapp, Telegram or even on their apps. Don't try to write an email though, you will wait months until you get an answer. I am speaking from experience.
The best place to start is “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” by Alex Haley
And then I’d recommend listening to his speeches on YouTube and watching his biopic directed by Spike Lee.
>Wish I could learn farsi tho
Idc what you do with yourself. But you asked thoughts and I gave you my opinion.
also thoughts? I think it's very hot
leftist turkish "intellectual" moment.
also, europeans really care about turkish-anatolian genetics a lot since 2010, especially german foundations and their -journalists- etc.
we still have some "intellectuals" like this guy, and all of them are funded by german foundations in Turkey.
you guys should read this book about german foundations in Turkey: https://www.amazon.com.tr/Alman-Vak%C4%B1flar%C4%B1-Bergama-Necip-Hablemito%C4%9Flu/dp/9756461705
The author of the book, Necip Hablemitoğlu, was assasinated on 18 December 2002, The murder case is "unresolved".
many turkish kemalist generals said that german NGOs killed him after his books about german foundations in Turkey.
you should read his books, you will udnerstand why there are shit tons of civil wars and conflicts in middle east.
USA is the real problem but the EU is not innocent either.
This is a huge topic people debated for centuries and wrote many books on. I would actually recommend this nice book about the topic of how some empires rose and then fell. This other book discusses your question exactly, but I have some reservations about it.
I have no simple opinion of my own to express though.
>funds a millitia that plays a crucial rule in Lebanon being a shit shos
the militia saved my life and my village, i dont see how it plays a crucial role in this country being shit but id love if you explain
>What did Saudi even do to you
kidnap our prime minister and make him resign? exporting wahhabism worldwide which leads to terrorist attacks on shias everywhere, most al qaeda and isis leadership was somewhat saudi arabian? The yemeni horrific intervention? being an american ally? helping iraq disintegrate iranian cities in the iraq iran war?
>and is directly helping Bashar Al Fucking Assad
yea and i support him
read this please before chimping out about muh gassing civilians or whatever
This is completely wrong and is historical revisionism. Obama ex-adviser himself wrote a book after he read the classified CIA files and he says in his book that it was completely a coup led by the CIA and the MI6. There is a lot more on the book and I recommend people who can get it to read it.

The plan would consist in bribing journalists,
editors, Islamic preachers, and opinion leaders to undermine
the government and fan the flames of distrust. Stories
would be planted “to show Mosaddeq as a Communist
collaborator and as a fanatic,” and thugs would be hired to
organize protests and create chaos and instability on the
streets.
​
> The shah would fire Mosaddeq, who was bound to
resist, creating a pretext for his arrest, his ouster, and the
restoration of the shah’s unquestioned rule.
On July 19, Roosevelt arrived in Iran and began to
implement the plan, paying agents to spread chaos on the
streets of Tehran and bribing members of parliament to
abandon the government.
​
>The cautious, young shah—aware
of Mosaddeq’s popularity—was reluctant to approve the
action, but he was eventually brought on board, mostly due
to threats from Roosevelt but also in part by his sister
Ashraf, who was enlisted by the CIA to help persuade him.
Still dealing with the British-led global oil boycott, Mosaddeq
begged for assistance from the United States, but
Eisenhower declined to help, by then convinced that the
only hope was to squeeze Iran financially to prepare the
ground for the coup.

So no it's not a conspiracy theory of islamists, it is in the historical record and the US government itself doesn't deny it/
Let me tell you about the Zionist (Avi Lipkin) who thinks Makkah is rightful Jewish land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlhS5sGinJQ&t=387s
https://www.amazon.com/Return-Mecca-Dennis-Avi-Lipkin-ebook/dp/B013K8K0GM
Zionists might claim they only want Palestine, but they aren't acting like it
So all the dumb Saudis who think it is just Palestine, pay attention please :)
As a Hejazi who believes Hejaz has a unique identity, I HATE this map. The last thing I need is more borders. I also hate Westerners who fantasize new borders and ethno-sates in my homeland.
What we should do, is do the same to them. I personally found great pleasure in this book that fantasizes about the break up of Amerikkka https://www.amazon.com/Modest-Proposal-Dissolution-United-America-ebook/dp/B00OVTFK92
>1. iranian dogs quite literally
Ok cba to debate stupid points
>2. interfering with shit that doesnt concern them and having too many versions outside of lebanon like hezbollah iraq, shia isis lol
wherever there are shias we are involved
>3. interfering in syria and killing a shit ton of citizens, using the excuse "isis" they operated before isis even got into syria, and they still are operating and killing syrians under no excuse
No they dont kill a shit ton of citizens also most their attacks werent even on ISIS it was on FSA turkmen Most syrians in syria love hezb
Also the whole civil war topic is full of US BS propaganda and misinformation
This covers it very well
Also the hezbollah axis of operations mainly didnt really go beyond the immediate borders apart a few exceptions
Most ops were close like this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qalamoun_offensive_(2017)
Also to note that quite a few of these involved lebanese government
>4. shouting about america's removal while russia and america assist them with airstrikes since 2015, just words with no action
America are all talk in syria, they joined the war and said they were gonna bomb isis and bullshit and then the following month isis made considerable growth to reach their max potential, but the russia joined the war and 2 months later isis was almost fully gone
Russia based america shit
>5. sectarian as fuck
