The Crusaders

[Dr Dutch]

These were real men, when will see bravery and nobility like this again?

Look what happened to Europe, the mulsims from the east invaded us, the Crusaders who died for us are turning in their graves.

Must have been unpleasantly hot for them knights to dress up like that...

Did you see, even other Muslims are trying to kill them? lol  Iranians were arrested trying to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the US:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/11/iranians-charged-us-assassination-plot?newsfeed=true

Its funny, cause deep down, Egyptians hate Saudis (and other Arabs from the Gulf), and those "Gulfies" look down on Egyptians  since we have no where near as much oil as they do, so they hate us too.  
Many Egyptians don't consider themselves "Arab" - like the ones from Saudi (Which I disagree with - I consider us Arab)!


On the otherhand, While in DC, ALL my non-american friends in undergrad were Saudis, and I had no Egyptian friends!


Strangest experience I had in the Arab Gulf.... I was in Qatar on a business trip, and was at a restaurant, when the waiter comes up to me and whispers in my ear "Sir, you have to move to another table, this is the princess' favorite table and she just got here" - I got up and moved, and she walked in with her girlfriends for lunch.

Other Muslims are trying to kill them?  Iran hates not only us but the entire Arab race. No one "likes" anyone, it's all about interest.

Saudis look down on Egypt? I personally believe (along with everyone I know) that the best Arab-Arab relationship is between Saudis and Egyptians. And btw, that example of the restaurant is stupid cause the restaurant is happy with the princess business and they told you to get up, not her, bash them. You seem to be holding a grudge against the area for the sole reason of them being well off.

Many Egyptians feel too superior and call themselves the "Egyptian pharaohs". What sadness..

Could you please tell me who "likes" Egypt from the Arab world? Algeria perhaps?

Dickhead. The Muslims had occupied Spain and had tried to overtake mainland Europe via France well before the Crusades. Then later on the Ottomans tried to conquer Europe through Eastern Europe.

They were the ones to first launch mass invasions.

Don't talk on things you know jack shit about.

Focus!

We are talking about THE CRUSADES.

Here is what your country needs to do to gain respect:

1. Drop ALL of the religious nonsense in Government and get rid of the Royal Family.
2. Give women full rights no different than men.
3. Drop the Religious culture.

Why would you not support this?  I mean you look at our porn, drive our cars, wear our clothes, drink alcohol (basically everything your nonsense holy book says not to do)  but when the guilt comes rushing in, you people decide its time to revert back to Conservative Islam.  Why? Do you prefer this type of system?

[Cleanest Natural]

they slaughtered many inocent people in the name of gaining power through fear .. fuck them !

[berblexer]

The invaders are the Muslims.

Don't forget that most of the middle east and north africa were Roman territories populated by europeans.

I don't drink alcohol. And the Quran never banned me from driving "your" cars, as if you had anything to do with the construction of that car or anything worth mentioning to call that car "ours". The holy Quran never stops me from anything that is not harmful in some way or sort.

And why are you telling me what my country should do as if I can change anything. Do you want me to list all the things your country needs to do to gain respect? We can go on forever

KSA - you need to stop taking these posts so seriously dude!

I have a grudge against the entire region???  What the hell kind of grudge are you talking about?  Did you not read that I wrote, ALL my friends in undergrad were Saudis?  
I wasn't talking about myself at all, I was talking about common stereotypes.  Thats good that you think Egyptians-Saudis have the best Arab-Arab relationship, I've never noticed that.  
Some of those guys  I mentioned in undergrad who were Saudis are some of the best people I know!

I think Egyptians are stupid for feeling too superior and calling themselves "Egyptian Pharaos"

And I never said that it was the princess who said anything!  All I said it was that it was a strange experience!!!  Because it was the first time I ever heard something like that, regardless if it was the princess or the waiter who wanted me to move!


AND YESSS I KNOW Iranians hate All Arabs (I even wrote that later in another post), again it was a freaking joke man!  


Either you didn't read my entire post, or you just decided to ignore certain parts of it buddy!

That Saladin guy wasn't that bad in the crusades, I read.....

I was never in support of the revolution, because I knew this would happen!

Maybe in Tunesia this could be an improvement, but those other countries...

Well's in pretty much every crusade, heat/dehydration ruined them, so it's what you'd expect.

Anyhow alot of folk get the crusades all mixed up.
Step 1 Christians in the middle east begged europe to save them from the muslims
Step 2 The vatican didn't give a shit about religion, but didn't want other people's cutting in on their action(remember these were the days when the church was robbing europe blind.

Step 3 a bunch of murderers, and crooks were sent to europe because they needed to get their reputation in better standings in europe, so they rapped and pilaged in the name of god.

Lol looking down on Egyptians for not having as much oil, as if they are special because their countries coincedentally sit on huge oil reserves.

Without Western technology they couldn't even extract the stuff.

Many argue Iranians dislike Arabs in general, not just Saudis.

Iranians look down on others, because their culture is genuinely better than almost any other country in asia, they're best comparison is the japanese, their a well developed and organized state. People get on with all this muslim garbage the reality is their country is pretty remarkable in it's abilities and it's not because of oil.
The only major issue Iran has is it's lack of balance between the poor and rich.\
Sure there are lots of issues with religious freedom there, but it's not there number one issue, it's overblown.
Iran I believe will always have a conservative culture, it works just as japanese culture is always gonna be conservative.

As an Iranian I resent this sort of thought process. I am proud of being Iranian but at the same time I resent nationalism, bit of an oxymoron but it's the best way I can describe my feelings. If I go way back I am also part Russian, and even longer back then I am part Arab as well. I am a direct descendant of the prophet Muhammed. We as human beings must try to focus our efforts on finding common ground, and not focus on our differences. We are all children of the same world.

I'm not sure what you mean I get you resent what I said but does that make it anyless true, it seems like an accurate caption of Iran at this point and time.
Besides your more ahead of your time than most, it's easy to have a more global outlook when you live in the globe and aren't confined to one nation.

Meh you gotta give credit where credits due. Trying to pretend were all equal in these types of situations is bad IMO. We's all different and have very different skill sets. The stupidity arises when people don't acknowledge the value of other peoples  abilities.
