Good old Ottomans

Kurdish Terrorists, or freedom fighters?

Russian puppets and so-called "freedom fighters" do not concern me.
There is an old saying, "Those who measure a shroud for a Turk will themselves suffer a painful death."

Although this is still a debated issue in Turkey(whether the arabs betrayed us or not), ask any arab, and they will tell you with pride how they kicked the Turks out

Why on earth are you surprised that they despised an invader? The Turks were a Central Asian group who migrated West overrunning the Arabs in the process.

Can't be the whole muslim thing. Muslims gleefully slaughter each other all the time.

Oh, are you for real? The arabs converted us to Islam, took us as bodyguards for their elite regiments and ghulam squads, and invited us to Anatolia to supplement them in their fight against the Byzantines, and have presented us with the title of Khalif. They should be the last ones to complain.
And well, I'm saying this since they are now playing on the muslim thing, calling us their "muslim brethren" who have maintained the khalifa for hundreds of years and all...I'm not sure if they regret their past misdeeds, however I'm sure that they are using us for their own means to an extent.
We Turks on the other hand are happy to help them as our brothers in faith, just like we have helped the Bosniaks and Chechens who in turn have also betrayed Turks numerous times throughout history.
I'm not surprised, since none of them have mustered any amount of courage to stand against us without foreign help.
They are cowards, and without honor.
