Most Arabs in the middle east: >Believe in the same God(Allah) >The only division that exists is shia/sunni...as someone who studied the Islamic religion, I know the differences between major sects are negligible and not as pronounce as the Catholic/Orthodox/Protestant schism that exists in Christianity. >Very similar cultures >All Have a common enemy(Merchantland) Yet Today, theyre the most divided people in the world, and these divisions have pretty much destroyed their societies, and has led to the greatest refugee crisis since WW2.
And to those that blame colonialism and artificial borders, explain to me why multi-ethnic brown nations that was created by colonial powers like India are more peaceful today than the whole Arab world despite: >Being a third world poor country with limited resources >Hundreds of different ethnic groups and castes that are as distinct as a Scot to an Englishman. Many of these ethnic groups have had a history of violent conflict with one another in the past. >A diversity of faiths(Muslims, Christians, Jains, Sikhs, Hindus)
Are Arabs incapable of peace?

>A diversity of faiths(Muslims, Christians, Jains, Sikhs, Hindus) Most of them are Muslims, by far.

>He unironically thinks the Syria crisis is a battle between Sunnis and Shias >he doesn't know that its just a power struggle between Isis mercenaries backed by Saudis and Israelies to install a sunni puppet state and the Assad regime backed by Iran to hold their influence in Syria and Iraq
Cooper Jones
That's true but it's also true that it's a Sunni-Shia war. People want revenge for atrocities committed to their relatives and friends, the other side wants the same so it's perpetual war.

Seems like more of a Middle Eastern problem than anything else. Even Arab Christians and Arab Jews are a lot more violent than their European and Asian counterparts.
Might have something to do with the fact that the majority of the Middle East has remained a tribal, feudalistic region mired with rivalries for centuries. The only ethnic groups that have established proper civilizations that have continued consistently are the Turks and the Iranians.

But india was also feudalistic and tribal. In fact they still have tribes and nomads today numbering in the millions of affliated people but they dont serm to blow up each other as often.

Not only Arab, all believers of abrahamic religions are. They see others through their own filter in which anybody who does not believe their religion is seen as evil.
Evangelical Protestant fags and Islam terrorists are almost identical.

The "Arab Mentality" was brought into the Levant after the Islamic conquests. The tribalistic, honor based society has everything to do with their garbage values arising from the desert and being enshrined in their religion and culture. The Mongol's and Steppe people's had the same mentality as the Arabs, and lived in just as harsh surroundings.
It's a millenia old mentality and I don't think it will ever be changed.
Except one religion is peaceful and the other isn't. It doesn't matter if they're both dogmatic; only one of them is actually killing for their religion.
Carson Ross
The trick is to make sure Muslims are never in charge of anything.

>Evangelical Protestant fags and Islam terrorists are almost identical.
Remind me again how many theocratic evangelical states that make it a policy to oppress non-Christians there are in the world today, or how about you tell me about those evangelical terror attacks that keep happening everywhere?
Brody Young
Might be true. Before roman influence germanics living in their harsh lands were pretty much the stereotypical savages ill admit that. But we actively eradicated those influences and only kept the good aspects. Arabs should had emaluated the superior civilizations they conquered. But they kept the savage mentality
Adam Butler
who knows, the world would be so much better off without them and their religion that can't go 5 minutes into the new year without killing dozens of people

>sunni vs shia I know muslims are all shit but which one is less worse
Ryan Parker
kill all wahabbis burn down every saudi-funded mosque hang any western politician who's accepted money from saudi-arabia for high treason
close the borders and let them sort it out themselves

Lol...You do know that Wahabhis are a subset of Sunnis.

This... The Arabs have always been like this, even during the early days of the caliphates. Muslims like to romanticise the Arab Caliphate era, when Arab Muslims ruled non Arab non Muslim lands. Most are convinced that it was a peaceful and prosperous time for the Arabs and there are many extremist Muslims today who are motivated to return to this era. But the fact is, Arabs in these caliphates regurlarly had civil wars with rival factions over control of the caliphate. Genocides and massacres committed by warring tribes were common . Many caliphates simply collapsed because of all the infighting and corruption amongst different factions. This innate tribalism and culture of intolerance and violence(eye for an eye) has been destabilising the region for thousands of years. Unfortunately, as a result of Islamic conquest and arabisation, they've also spread this destructive backward culture to the civilised Levant. Anyone who ironically believe that there's going to be peace in the Arab world, once Israel is gone hasn't been paying close attention to Arab history. They'll fight for any reason. There's a reason most of the recent successful Islamic caliphates were lead by non Arabs. Even today, the most successful Arab countries were either built and managed by westerners(UAE, Kuwait, Qatar) or employs a lot of weterners to take care of business(Saudi Arabia). Arabs don't even trust themselves when it comes to their economies.

Sunnis cause more trouble.

Wrong. The majority of India has operated under structured society and civilization for thousands of years.
Most Indians also follow Hinduism, which unlike Abrahamic religions is not based on conquest and is contained within the subcontinent. Thus, less conflict.
