Can I say something that bugs me? Why are you guys so anti Arab? My great grandfathers fought in Mesopotamia and in Gaza to protect the Ottoman state and my Great Grand Uncle was martyred in Libya defending the Ottomans. We were never like Al Saud and betrayed the Caliphate nor were we like the Baathists and called for Arab Nationalism. My grandfathers always campaigned for Turkey to be at the head of the Muslim world and supported Pan Turkic reunification and my grandfather cried of joy when Turkey liberated Northern Cyprus. My Father and Mother have always defended Turkey and her actions in the face of opposition and ridicule. And I say this that I pray I get a Turkish passport and serve even in the army one day or become a diplomat for Turkey because I would die a thousand times over for this Great Land. Yes, I am an Ottomanist and many Kemalists here may politically disagree with me but I am not like these Gulphite Arabs. I like my forefathers have always treasured Turkey and sought to defend it and it's people and it's Muslim identity and I hope no one here forgets that such people like us did and to this day exist.
As Salam Alaykum
