I'm not sure if they want to be together

This all goes into where the think the "Middle East" is.

Like, is Turkey Middle East or European?

I think it starts on the border with Serbia

I know a Turkish girl and she counts herself as Asian but everyone calls her European.

Because even Serbia is a little bit middleeasternfined

Serbia?

Why do you count it as Asian and not European?

I don't count Middle East as Asia

I see some influence in music and culture from Middle East on Serbia

Did someone ping me or did someone ping everyone?

Then shouldn't we also count Spain as Middle Eastern since they have a lot of Arabic influence?

I don't count Serbia as Middle East. I'm Saying it may start on the border with Serbia

Serbia is a bastion against Middle East

Idpol

Doesn't Bospor seperate Balkans and middle East?

Geographically

What does bastion against the middle east mean?

It means Serbia been pushing Middle East back.

To where it belongs.

That's troubling since you're defending a country that committed a literal genocide.

Serbia was conquered and Croatia and Hungary were the wall that seperated Europe and ottomans

I think there's too much anti-arabic and anti-middle east sentiment in the left.

@Comrade Victor Yes, but Serbia tried hard

I may no agree with Materialism, but it is a good looking glass to see things through.

and never gave up

Noone on Balkans did

That's a good thing

Balkans were basically the anti kebab special team

Islam and Middle Eastern culture are not the problems, the fact their countries keep getting interfered with is the problem.

The Brits betrayal of the Hashimites and the USA funding the Mujahideen were the problems, not middle eastern culture itself.

Oh yeah, the the coup of Iran in the 50s.

So did someone ping everyone or just me for some reason.

?

Middle East could be much more progressive by now

If not Imperialism

Then don't be mad at the middle east.

ahh

Be mad at imperialism.

I'm not
