Turkey's role in middle eastern politics

Ottoman EMPIRE = Imperialism. Here's a hint, the subjects never really like the imperialists.
Oh. And why wait like for 500 years to oust the imperialists out?
The Ottoman state reached it's peak during the reign of Suleiman the lawgiver(magnificent, as known to frenk nations). The only people who rebelled against the Ottoman state were the Turkmen tribes in anatolia. No single Balkan nation, nor any arabs have revolted against the Ottomans for a long, long, long time.
Maybe this is the reason why they all are always so buttdevastated around us.
Fortunately, we Turks have never been the subject to anyone else but us, and anyone who tried to make subjects of us has learned it the hard way that the tables will turn around very soon, as the many slave dynasties bear witness to that.
Quote:Whatever you might say about Arabs, or other "non-turks" is equally true of turks Mehmet. I shouldn't have to be the person explaining this to you, presumably old enough to know better. You think the arabs are the first people to have colluded at some point in history with those that became their enemies? Are you certain that turkish cultures haven't done exactly the same?

Guess what else is long gone? The Ottoman Empire.
And I'm glad. I'm glad that I don't have to share the same soil with Serbians, Albanians and Bosniaks. I'd be more than glad not to share the same soil with Kurds either. Nothing but trouble if you ask me. Ethnically homogenous countries are much more peaceful and focused.

Arabs are not our kin. You can forgive your brother for a transgression that he has done against you. Like I do not bear any ill will towards Azerbaijanis whose ancestors have sided with that lying snake of a man called Shah Ismail, nor towards the Uyghurs and the Oghuz(the majority of Turkey's Turks) for contributing to the collapse of the Gokturk empire.
Arabs, however, are known to boast their religious connection to the prophet, and also claim to be pro-unity amongst muslims. However, it was them that sided with the men they call the infidel against the Khalif, and then, got their prize by being broken into many nations, some ruled by the powers that are the French and English respectively.

Based on that, I have long advocated that we do not make any connnections with the arabs based on our religious affiliations, as the idea of the ummah has clearly failed us on more than one occasion.
However, the idea of Turkish unity has allowed us to beat back the invaders of Turkish homelands and lay the foundations of a nation state called Turkey.
This is the trail that we should pick up.
