How do secular Arab nationalists deal with the fact that the only reason the majority of modern Arabs speak Arabic is because of the Islamic expansions and that even the flag of Arab nationalism was made by a brit?

I got u senpai.

Similar to how a Frenchman can identify as French and being very French nationalist even though what it means to be French is very much defined by Catholicism.

The same analogy could be applied to many European nations. Shared identity. The religion is far less important than the shared cultural heritage that defines and binds us. The middle east has been religiously radicalizing for awhile, it used to be on the by and by as religious as any part of Europe.

Dealing with it implies it's an issue. It's not an issue, its a boon. Yes, we DO have this shared culture, and thats good and we should be one nation based on that.

The flag being made by a brit isn't an issue because it's cosmetic and does incorporate traditional arabic heritage concepts in its color scheme. Probably would have developed into an issue if the Mideast was more stable.

Please explain how the Trinity is not polytheism.

In two thousand years of Christian philosophy the best that the most brilliant Christian theologians have been able to come up with is "this doesn't make sense, it's a Holy Mystery".

Why don't you just worship the God instead of a cross?

One, threefold God. One God, manifesting Himself to us in three persons: Father, Son, and Spirit.

John 1:1 says that the Word (Jesus) was with God and was God.
In John 10:30 Jesus said that He and the Father are one.
In John 14:9 He said that anyone who has seen Him has seen the Father.
In Colossians 1:15 Paul wrote that Jesus is the (visible) image of the invisible God.
In Hebrews 1:3 Jesus is called the exact representation of God’s glory
In Hebrews 1:8 God Himself called Jesus God.
God’s Spirit is presumed to be one and the same with God just as your spirit is presumed to be one and the same with you. So if God and Jesus are one and the same, and God and His Spirit are one and the Same, then the three are one.

There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-6). Yet there are three persons presented as deity in Scripture: the Father (John 6:27; Colossians 1:3), the Son (John 1:1-3, 14; 8:24; 20:28-29; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 1:1; Hebrews 1:10-12) and the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Samuel 23:2-3; 2 Corinthians 3:18). Lastly, these three are presented as distinct persons (John 8:16-18; Luke 11:1; 3:21-22; Galatians 4:6). Thus from Scripture we learn that although there is one God, there are three distinct persons who are deity. So the Trinity is the biblical position to hold to once one examines what Scripture teaches.

Now you tell me why Mohammad knew he was dealing with the devil, and almost killed himself over it, and you can't figure that out 1400 years later, with Google at your fingertips.

>Please explain how the Trinity is not polytheism.

What if it """is"""? Even if it is, it does not detract from the central message of Christianity, that the death of Jesus was necessary and made possible the salvation of mankind. Beside's, a tri-une deity is in some respects not dissimilar to a deity with 99 names. How is the 99 names not polytheism, when they encourage the faithful to look at God from different angles?

> Why don't you just worship the God instead of a cross?

How else are you supposed to worship something, for all purposes, so abstract? Besides, iconoclasm detracts more from a worshipful environment then adds to it. It was through Christ's death on the cross that Christianity is made real.

How is Islamic monotheism not simply obsession with the number one, more, mono-ism then monotheism?

Did the Armenian Genocide happen? Were the young turks, really turks?

>Were the young turks, really turks?

Nope.

The Armenian Genocide was by all definitions not a genocide by Turks, but rather a Genocide done in the name of the Turks by Jews, Crypto-Jews, and Tatars.

Just read about the Donmeh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donmeh

The vast vast majority of the so-called "Young Turks" were in no way Turkish. In the same way that most of the Bolsheviks weren't Russian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Turks

(((Emmanuel Carasso Efendi)))
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carasso_family
>prominent Sephardic Jewish family in Ottoman Selanik
(((Mehmet Cavit Bey)))
>he was part of the Young Turks and had positions in government after the constitution was established
Tekin Alp, or his birth name (((Moiz Cohen)))
>He would later become one of the founding fathers of Turkish nationalism and an ideologue of Pan-Turkism

Do you see why we deny it now? Why would we admit to something that wasn't done by Turks? Even in OP's photo that's not a Turk. That's a Jew who is holding that bread. It's not anti-semitic to point out a basic fact. The Young Turks weren't Turks. The Armenian Genocide was not perpetuated by Turks. It's a fact.

>>2793099

>>2793099

Yes. Literally the only people who deny it are Turks themselves.

Because only one of them is a hate symbol. Nazism is inherently hateful. Communism is deeply retarded but it its ultimate goal is everyone getting along.

Yeah. Huey Long had his issues (hunger for power and poor alliance-building) but could have made American society substantially more free and egalitarian given enough time and authority. It would be very interesting to see how an America under his watch would develop, especially in its relationship to capital and to international socialist movements who shared many of his aims.

Unlike Roosevelt, who was brought toward redistribution and social justice kicking and screaming, Huey Long was a lifelong champion of the rights of the masses. Until they killed him.

He was basically Bernie Sanders of the 30s right? Ben Shapiro recommended a new biography about him today is that why the thread was created?

I'll start with a /his/ classic

How come we don't talk about the Phoenicians? Their whole empire revolves around selling people stuff. Is there any stories or accounts of other cultures meeting the Phoenicians traders? Also, why is there a level of "mysticism" behind the Phoenicians? for example of stories of them going to America or Australia.

Because it's inconvenient to remember that the entire world backed Saddam fucking Hussein in an invasion of a sovereign nation, and only just managed to save him from getting BTFO completely.

Because Saddam did nothing wrong and the world hates to recognize it

Also because the house of Saud still has some grip in western media

>>2785744
Because we turned a blind eye to Saddam using the shit out of chemical weapons in the name of geopolitics then hypocritically took him out two decades later, blew up a civilian airliner with 290 innocent people onboard (basically pulled a Russia), and got caught fucking over the Iraqis, Israelis, and the rest of the Gulf Arab states via the Iran-Contra affair, destroying our credibility in the region, and our "strict neutrality" policy was a fucking joke. I'm writing a paper on this right now (no thanks y'all faggots, thanks for the sources). If you wanna know more and this thread is still up when I finish, let me know. In the meantime, read Bryan Gibson's Covert Relationship. I only got a copy of his Master's thesis but it's an excellent primer on the material. There's also a ton of transcripts with Saddam Hussein speaking directly about the war:
digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/collection/168/saddam-hussein-s-iraq
There's an interview with one of Saddam's favorite military officers about political, strategic, operational, and tactical matters called Saddam's War: an Iraqi Military Perspective on the Iran-Iraq War.

Totally, the study of martial culture certainly falls under humanities and often history. There is an academic discipline called hopology which does so systematically.

While my own interest is in the Japanese sword methods I love reading about weapon arts from all times and cultures

Karlis Ulmanis, dictator of independent Latvia during the end of the inter-war period. Like most dictators there's a mixed opinion of him, but he generally was a mild leader who seemed to work more for the interests of the country & its people instead of enriching himself or cronies with the power of the state.
