But Iranophiles want us to believe that “Iran is winning!” Had there been no precedent then we could accept this. But this is exactly the trajectory that Al-Quaida was on circa 2002. I fail to see why ppl delude themselves like this?
A Christian envoy once offered King AbdulAziz رحمه الله political and financial support in exchange for allowing a church to be built in Dhahran. He replied:
"As for a church, neither I nor any of my descendants will ever permit a church to be built or any churches to be seen in the Arabian Peninsula."
— Kuntu Ma'a Abdulaziz, pg. 336–337
Every time anyone from Saudi or the Gulf posts their traditional attire/culture they get thousands of attacks. If it’s Southern Saudi dress it’s “actually Yemeni.” If it’s Northern it’s Levantine. If it’s Western it’s Egyptian. If it’s Eastern it’s Persian.
The ultimate conclusion is that Gulf Arabs are apparently not allowed to claim any culture or history if there is any similarity with anyone. As if shared traditions between neighboring societies is some rare phenomenon.
What’s interesting is that this standard applies nowhere else. Tea originated in China yet nobody argues it isn’t part of Indian culture. No one argues coffee is not part of Italian culture.
The fez is shared across multiple countries and nobody insists it can only belong to one of them. The kaftan exists from Morocco to Central Asia in countless local forms and nobody treats that as a problem.
But when it comes to the Gulf, every similarity is evidence that the culture belongs exclusively to someone else.
The underlying assumption is this: Gulf Arabs are only allowed the image of the poor Bedouin wandering the desert. There is no shame in that image, but nobody has the right to reduce an entire people to a single archetype.
Anything sophisticated, diverse, artistic or historically rich must have been borrowed from somebody else. The possibility that Gulf Arabs developed rich traditions of their own, shaped the cultures around them, or may even be the source of some shared regional traditions is treated as unthinkable.
“What kind of onion is this?
“A yellow one obviously”
“WRONG, you fool! For this is no onion at all, but rather a decorated cake! You must feel so stupid now huh!”
WOMEN ARE THE DEADLIEST DEMOGRAPHIC TOWARDS CHILDREN.
And the data proves it.
Women represent 55% of ALL child homicide, 73% of ALL postneonatal infanticide, and a whopping 97% of ALL infanticide perpetrators WORLDWIDE.
The younger, defenceless and fragile the child, the more likely women are to commit the unthinkable.
There is no love, no empathy and no honour. Just pure, malicious and sadistic predation against their own children.
