@laurefinwë I most certainly agree with this fellow
Arabia was at its peak during Islam. Before that it was comparitive to Africa/Mongolia with having too many tribes.
Unlike Mongolia, Arabia would never unite under one regime without there being a main state religion.

Arabs killed each other because they all had different religions, this was not the case with Genghis Khan because he gave freedom of religion.

Arabs have no culture, meaning there's no reason to be nationalist and fight/serve your country

The Ghassanid tribe literally enslaved other Arabs for being too dark. Deeming them lesser human for being from the South and being melanin enriched.

90% of Arabian culture (Saudi Arabia and not MENA) derives from Islam. So no Islam means no common culture

@laurefinwë
You've got a good point there. But it's just another reason why they would not be successful. I support you in this argument that Arabia would not be a world superpower if not for Islam

Also wtf is wrong with you @JOHN
