Assad recived suitcases full of cash from not so tremendous people too. Rest in pieces Soleimani

10 years on we can finally say the Arab spring failed in every single country in which it happened. Tunisia is now a dictatorship again They were the only successful example.

the middle east was targeted just like theyre trying to target some south/latin american countries now

In regards to the coup in Tunisia recently Idk if it’s a good thing in the long term. Short term is good cause the majority party in parliament is an Islamist party And the Islamist party got overthrown. And that could potentially lead to a civil war though which is why in the long term it isn’t that good.

Sounds like what happened to Algeria. And in the case of Algeria, I think we can all agree that the FLN was right to crush the Islamists. This is why I find this Tunisia thing troubling It’s eerily similar to Algeria. Basically after secularists couped the Islamists in Algeria the Islamists rose up in revolt And waged guerilla war for like 10 years. Arab volunteers coming back from the soviet afghan war also worsened the conflict in Algeria Cause they tended to be more extreme and militant.

Pan arabism is cool, leave them Qubtists out of it tho

Finally something me and you agree on. Throughout modern Arab history the Islamists/Salafis and Wahhabi ideologues have consistently sabotaged and set back the resistance and formation of not only a United arab nation but also a United arab mind

Yeah, Sayyid Qutb work didn't just influence the sunni world, Khomeini loved the guy and khamenei translated Qutb's book in the shades of Quran to Farsi. That book alone is responsible for spreading Sayyid Qutb ideology plus getting executed in Egypt solidified his status.

I wouldn’t say that Qutb is like the sole reason behind the spread of islamism seeing that the "Muslim" Brotherhood existed way before he was around as well as many other individuals contributing to that ideology but you are right to a extent.

.اللغة العربية صعبة. أتكلم قليلا فقط

Where did you learn?

It's mainly self taught, I didn't have a centralized resource for it, so I'm not completely fluent. I used a mix of language learning apps alongside online resources to fill in the gaps. I found Al-Jazeera's arabic learning good and there were some lessons I found on YT. I know enough I can read basics and i can speak/understand enough to get around and have mid-level conversations; i basically only can understand gulf & levantine dialects though besides msa.

I wish for my people across all nations to strive towards a progressive future ameen

Will read thru this thread. Too many old men from my country running back to take up public office simply for the title

My wish is to build schools to educate and empower the youth so they can kick those f***ers out

Assad is a puppet controlled by western lobbyists.

US Russia and Iran all 3 claim that they are there to fight against ISIS. LmAO.
They all f***ing lying. Them westerners just want chaos in the region to fish from muddy waters and Iran needs Assad so that they can ship weapons to Hizbullah through Syria.

You’re out of your mind if you think Assad is backed by the US

I am out of my mind! I believe all these leader. The ayatollah from Iran, Bashar Assad, POTUs ... are all controlled by big bank corporations and US lobbyists.

It's a perspective. You can ridicule me for it. But looking at how this s*** been unfolding I believe it is very very plausible.

Bro WHAT lol yeah Iran that has its entire own Islamic banking system that doesn't use interest rates is controlled by the west... America not fighting ISIS in Syria they tryna get rid of Assad. Get ur head checked

You think Iranian banks don't give interests???? Get your head checked. Islamic banking system lol

I never said america was fighting ISIS in syria. I said that's what they claim but they are all lying. Did you even read what I wrote?

No the strict Islamic ones collect fees per transactions and then redistribute them to account holders
