Blame the ones who drew the lines in the sand, the British. Blame the sultan who needed the British to pay his bills. Blame the proper fuckheads ... The US is not without blame but the blame of the US is maybe for 50 years.to be exact, about 66 years. the relationship with the Mideast started in the 1950's.

Just making a wild guess here: you watch a lot of teevee, don't you?You've just made an even greater ass out of yourself in assuming so. What's the last book on Japanese naval doctrine preceding WWII that you read? What about the Byzantine Empire? How about German labor and finance during the interwar period? Or what about the 1945 Soviet strategic offensive in Manchuria? When was the last time you were in Afghanistan or Korea? So, STFU, you ignorant SOB.
Yeah, a lot of teevee. Originally Posted by James1588

Your dumb-as-fuck-ass couldn't answer a single question, you stupid SOB. Your stupidity was fully advertised in your opening post, you illiterate asshole.

expanidng IB Hanky's point...
all the north african nations & mid-east were majority christian I think Iran/Persia was the exception as they were Zoastrianss. only after they were invaded did they become minority christians when enough christiians converted over to islam. There still remained a large sizeable christian & jewsih minorities. this population declined over time.
many were oppressed and treated as 2nd class citizens and threatened with harassment & murder if they didn't convert. many paid the tax when they could do so, if not many fled rather than be subjected that type of humiliation and death..
sure there maybe periods when things are peaceful between muslims & christians & jews. this was really dependent on whoever was ruling those areas at the time, they had rulers who didn't like christians/jews and would order a campaign of harrassment & deaths if they didn't convert. if they rulers who were friendly to them, they left them alone as they paid the tax (jizya)
things were like that way until I have to say about in the early 20th century. christian minority population was prolly around 20-30%. there was a drastic decline of christian miniorities after 1950.
lebanon was majority christian in 1950, its now a minortiy in 2016.
Saudi Arabia, Christians & jews extinct.
Iraq, christians & jews extinct (there was 1 elderly jew reported to be alive last I heard)
the north african countries, the christian minority populations hover 1 - 10%.
Egyptians christians - Copts number about 15%
Pagan non-muslims
Iran, I don't think they have any christians, but they have some Zoastrianss siill around.
India survived for the most part the muslim invasion, remains majority hindu for the foreseable future. they do have large minority muslim population
southeast asia were subject to many muslim conquests -- not all succeeded. Southeast asia were dominated by Buddhist majorities. given that there were no christians & jews in those areas, these people of faith have only 2 options fight or convert.
Afghanistan - Buddhist extinct
Pakistan - buddhist extinct (if there any there i'm not aware of it)
christians guess is 5%
Indonesia - less than 1%
Malaysia - less than 1%
burma/myanmar & thailand have small muslim population and are causing trouble now adays.
china a musliim turkic people live in northern china (forget the name of the province) gives china trouble.
the caucuas region of southern russia: pagans prolly were the majority. they are extinct.
Armenia & Georgia is majority christian
Azerbijan minority christians 1%
former soviet states: kazahastan, turkemistan, kyrgstan, ubezistan
don't know too much about them.
they once had large pagan & buddist populations. their minority numbers around 1 - 5%
they do have christians, the minority population runs from 1% to 25%.

Hey, you're doing better! That one didn't have any bad language in it! Gold star for you, sir. Originally Posted by James1588Interesting choice for a handle, "James1588."
