The one that invented algebra and the arabic numerals.

one nuclear wasteland that glows at night like northern lights over the ruins of jerusalem and mecca

>>778964
One that's separated from Europe by a big fence.

Just fuck their shit up, my lad.

One with natural borders (for example Greater Syria) and one that pays lip service to Islamic values, but doesn't go full ALLAH HU AKBAR about them.

Oh, and an existent caliph would be nice.

Do these and you'll solve 95% of the problems in the ME.

What ARE the natural borders anyway?

The easiest solution is the one that is the simplest. These countries have been a pain in the ass to deal with since they discovered there was an underground treasure laying under their shit-soaked feets.

Bring back Greater Israel.

Suez Canal, Caucasus Mountains, and the Indus River are Greater Israel's natural borders.

Won't happen, Pan-arabism died when terrorism was born

I've read a graphic novel from a young franco-syrian boy who lived in Syria and Libya, the hate between the different communities is enormous.

>pan arabist

The only thing that can save the ME is secularism and less nationalism.

>>780869
Arabs don't generally like each other each other. Would this involves Syria, Iraq, and North Africa? Because if so then that state would be so fucked by civil war as to negate the benefits of unity.

If we release millions of cats into the warzones and in Iranian and Saudi offices, they'd be too distracted to sponsor and commit terrorism

First you have to destroy Turkish nationalism. Their virulent strain of national identity is more harmful than any other in the region. It's too exclusive and xenophobic for them to ever function in a multi-ethnic state. And no matter what, they will be multi-ethnic. Even sans Kurds, they have Arabs. For fucks' sake, they only got to where they are by subsuming a lot of Turkic, Semitic and Indo-European identities that existed over the last century. Countless rioting modern Turks are the descendants of Assyrians, Greeks, Kurds, Armenians and Arabs who assimilated.

If you dismantled their national identity you could have a largely multi-ethnic pan-west asian state. It would take some time to heal historical wounds, but I think it is essential. A lot of the smaller ethnic nations of West Asia, and even some of the large officially existing ones just don't have the resources or geography to exist as a functional state into the far future. Kurdistan, for example, cannot exist simply because there's nothing there. Large multi-national federations must band together to make functional economies so that they can eventually transition away from primary and secondary resources to tertiary; services. If you can enforce stability, even by force, for long enough, eventually people would become rich and comfortable enough to not give a shit about ethnic differences.

1) Confederation of Syria and Iraq with an autonomous Awalite State within it, possibly including Lebanon and Jordan, very large international peacekeeping presence right smack dab in the middle

2) Single-state solution for Israel/Palestine.

3) Collapsed Saudis, and a thoroughly republicanized Arabian peninsula.

4) Independent Kurdistan. All of it.

People are always forgetting that the middle east was getting little by little more liberal out of itself.

its only when outside influences come to mess with the order of things that we end up like the shit we are now.

iran is still one of the best places i can identify with where that happend in the past.

it's like if america would install the pope suddenly as leader of Italy after ww2, our if a bibleguy would be in charge of USA right now.

how does /his/ feel that ISIS is in Palmyra destroying every artifact of ancient civilizations with wild abandon
