I’m sure that the Arabs would be thrilled with an Ottoman Empire II. Yeah, run that one up the flagpole and see who salutes.

How about a Persian one? What happened the last time Muslim nations pined for a reunited empire?

Last count, Mohammedans have slaughtered about 100 million people in cold blood, and physically mutilated many more.
That's a lot of people for a religion of peace. Just think how bad it would be if they were violent and sadistic?

Any bid (Turkish or otherwise) to “unify” the Arabs is doomed to failure. That doesn’t mean that Turkey or Iran won’t try. Unfortunately, I think both have their sights set on Israel as a way to enable their fantasy. They figure that the country who can take out Israel will given them a leg up in their ill-fated campaign.

Today's ruling, suit & tie, radical Turkish Islamists would love to greatly expand the old Ottoman Empire.

Turks hate Arabs and Arabs hate Turks.
The Maghreb hates Egypt who hate the Levant who hates Arabia who hates Persia who hates India.
Nobody can figure out Indonesia and Malaysia.
Sunni hate Shia and Shia hate Sunni, and everyone hates the Alawi.
But everyone LOVES Bollywood, which is in Hindi.
Confusing?
You bet.
