The ummah that was never there

[kılıç_mehmet]

Xtians merrily slaughtered each other to see who had the better invisible friend, too. Then the secular world put a stop to their sanctified murder.

Don't feel special about it. Maybe in 500 years you guys will grow out of it too?

To be honest, I've never heard anything stupider than shi'ites and sunni's massacring each other because 1,300 years ago one asshole was named caliph instead of another.

I do not feel special about it. Christians did not slaughter each other because of religion. Religion merely defined a part of either a political, or ethnic identity there. In 500 years, I doubt that unity will be within moslems. And frankly, I would oppose it aswell. I do not want to be in a union with arabs as much as the arabs do not want us, even if we both are moslem. This case is presented with strong ethnic ties, even though, if we take the case of Ulster(northern Ireland), religion too defines there on which side you're on. Like protestant irishmen support England, however, the catholics do not. Here, you cannot even find a case that corresponds to a religious motivation.
I certainly do not.
