Yes, Lebanon is much better than it was. But there is always a Sword of Damocles hanging over it.

Monied Leftists loved sheltering the radical chic.

Say what you will, Nasser was a secularist, albeit a Socialist.

We never liked Nasser because he was an ally of the Soviets.

Iran has mellowed some since the Revolution. Women can get away with just wearing a scarf in public instead of the full beekeeper suit like in the Sunni Arab states. And it's more like Jersey Shore at private clubs and homes at least for the rich.

The Wahhabist movement is associated with Saudi Arabia. Since Iran is a Shiite country, that’s why Saudi Arabia haven’t sent ant of their Wahhabi Sunni Mullahs to Iran.

Well, not always. The point of this thread was that there were functioning countries that happened to be Islamic but yet they were civilized.

That’s one of my issues with the focus of the hoolicost being only Jews. Only at most half were Jews. When People aka Jews say no hoolicost again they mean Jews only since at any time on this planet, I assume 2 or 3 race or national genocides are occurring at that time but never another hoolicost.

Then the Jews turn around and vote for communists/socialists.

Can’t fix stupid stupid stupid. I guess it has always been and will always be.

Rudyard Kipling wrote more than 100 years ago:

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier _of_ the Queen!

Afghanistan has always been a Hellhole!

The Jewish holocaust is a bit different in that some pushed for eradication of all Jews. No emigration. No resettling. No further existence.

But yes, the number of all dead in the camps and death machine were 10 million or more, of which 6 millions were Jews (men, women, and children).

Slavery and genocide are underway today and libs make excuses for Islamonazism. It’s Israel’s fault. It’s corporatists fault. It’s Western imperialists fault. No one on that side of the aisle blames the dead conquering warlord or his death cult.

If they follow their koran book of evil, then it’s male mob rule. To follow their stupid book is to follow evil.
