Roy is so knowledgeable!

[@ebflegg]

Great overview. One always learns so much from Roy Casagranda. This should have a lot more views!

[@amanabbas7875]

And Roy should have more such conversations!

You are great 👍story teller I wish to watsh every day anew video about the middle east history

[@edwardoraha8202]

Hi.. I just came across this valuable briefing from Dr. Casagranda Two points to make: Northern Iraq is historically an Assyrian land and has been forcefully kurdified. I don't believe it should be academically kurdified too by calling it "kurdistan" Second point.. the kurds didn't declare independence in 2017, they held a referendum for independence and the kurds voted yes. However this wasn't auctioned due to the Iraqi central military intervention

The Middle East would relax from US intervention, once the US Military Comoflouge Attire Changes its color back to Dark Green from Beige.

[@samirbelgacem854]

Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli were actual states like Morocco, nominally under the authority of the Ottoman Empire, conducting their own foreign policy --and indeed, they recognized the US independence round about 1795 for the State of Algiers; it is just that they had Turkish speaking elites ruling them. This might be a reason why the Ottoman Empire did not get involved; so the comparison with Louisiana or Porto Rico is quite stretched. A comparison with the present British Commonwealth would be more accurate and reasonable.

Question session: Kuwait,Bahamian and Oman are wealthy countries why don't they take the burden of refugees if they consider themselves as a Muslim ummah (brotherhood) ?

[@sinslang890]

. Those wealthy countries you mentioned actually help and not pretend to help. Unlike the countries responsible for the refugee problem. Like the iranian regime with the sabotage and destabilization of Syria , Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen. How come Turkey and their puplets like Qatar and Muslim brotherhood dont help these refugees? But only help their juhadi groups into further chaos like in Libya ,Syria and Iraq . The wealthy Arabian gulf countries along with Jordan and Kurdistan Allowed many people in from Lebanon ,Iraq ,Syria , Yemen and Libya. Giving them freedom of movement. Allowing them to open businesses. Unlike Iran where they would not be admitted. Inless thwy had to be of a certain islamic sect. Unlike Tirkey who would just want them to dwell at sea or Tents on the Turkish/Syiran border in terrible conditions.

[@mohamedsamy1431]

How about the invaders who caused the refugees problem in the first place take care of that burden? Wouldn't that be much more appropriate? Also, not all of these refugees are Muslims, why does this have anything to do with being "A Muslim Ummah"? People often forget that the middle east has religious diversity. Another reason is, rich people don't like sharing. It's the same like asking, "Why don't people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos end homelessness and extreme poverty in the US?".

[@sinslang890]

@@mohamedsamy1431 They dont share , but they do help. They share with their own citizens. Much like any other country. Like i said the Arabian gulf countries do help the refugees . Along with Jordan. Unlike some governments like the Iranian and Turkish regimes who only pretend to help. But are the main causes for the dictators, militias and armed extremist groups that have ruined Syria, Iraq, Libya , lebanon and Yemen.

[@21972012145525]

They have aren't you listening. Also those countries are only wealthy for natives. They're basically not for foreign workers. And again maybe we should start learning how to not destroy other people's homes and then expect others to pay reparations on our behalf

[@21972012145525]

Why should those countries pay reparations on our behalf

[@MultiAhmedShafik]

There are 2 types of arabs. In arabic there is a word for it like old and new. Old arabs "عاربة" traced back to Ismael son of Ibrahim (the prophet) peace be upon him. New arabs "مستعربة" is the other side of the coin. Could be the result of nations embracing Islam in times of Islamic renaissance. Maybe this could help. thanks.

[@SaadTheFade]

There are no such thing as new or old arab

[@MultiAhmedShafik]

@@SaadTheFade If you know Arabic you will know what عاربة و مستعربة , it is just because I don't really know the equivalent word in English so I picked new and old but if you can find the equivalent for the arabic terms please be my guest :)

[@SaadTheFade]

@@MultiAhmedShafik still new or old (عاربة او مستعربة) is made up term 🙏

[@MultiAhmedShafik]

@@SaadTheFade توارد الأخباريون والمؤرخون والنسَّابون على تقسيم العرب - من حيثُ القِدَمُ - إلى طبقات ثلاثة: عربٌ بائدة، وعربٌ عاربة، وعربٌ مستعربة. 1 - أما العرب البائدة: فهم مثل أقوام عاد، وثمود، وجديس، وعبيل، وجُرهُم، أطلق عليهم اسم " البائدة " لقدمهم النسبي، ولاندثارهم قبل الإسلام. 2 - وأما العرب العاربة فهم القحطانيون، أبناء قحطان بن عابر بن شالخ بن أرفخشذ بن سام بن نوح، كما يذكر ذلك أكثر النسابين. 3 - وأما العرب المستعربة أو المتعربة، ويقال لهم " العدنانيون "، أو " النزاريون "، أو " المعديون "، وهم من صلب سيدنا إسماعيل بن إبراهيم عليهما الصلاة والسلام، الذي تزوج من رعلة الجرهمية، فتعلم منهم العربية، فسموا المستعربة، وصار نسلهم من العرب، واندمجوا فيهم، وهم ينتسبون إلى عدنان من نسل سيدنا إسماعيل عليه السلام، غير أن ثمة خلافا كبيرا بين النسابين في عدد الآباء بينهما. ومضمون هذا التقسيم لا تكاد تختلف فيه كتب التاريخ والأنساب، ولكن الخلاف واقع في الأسماء، فبعضهم يسمي العرب البائدة بالعاربة، وآخرون يسمونهم بالعرباء ونحو ذلك من الخلاف. ولا نجد أي تعارض بين هذا التقسيم وبين الحقائق الواردة في القرآن الكريم، كما نستبعد جدا أن يكون مضمون "أنا مصري" حضرتك ايه ؟

[@SaadTheFade]

@@MultiAhmedShafik اهلا وسهلا بك تشرفت بمعرفتك ، انا من مكة ، التقسيمة ذي ذكرت بعد عهد الرسول ولو ترجع في كتب التاريخ تجد جنوب الجزيرة لا تتحدث العربية ، الهدف من التقسيمة ذي هو جعل الرسول من العرب المستعربة الدخيلة وهذا منافي لكلام الله في القرآن

[@samizhr4096]

I have seen your videos and noticed some inaccuracies. For example, you mention that Arabs did not force people to convert to Islam and that they were liberal. However, you did not mention that non-Muslims were required to pay the jizya tax. While I am not suggesting that other civilizations were better, it is important to present all the facts accurately.

[@21972012145525]

Yea but it's not wrong. Jizya is not paid if you convert. That's the point of jizya

[@21972012145525]

It's not dissimilar to taxes

[@sea_clicks]

In the awake of events like Libya and iraq the situation is far worse than before.wont you agree? After foreign countries got rid of the tyrants?

[@mohamedsamy1431]

It's normal. The US never got its independence before going to war. The European Union wasn't formed until Europeans fought two bloody world wars. People need to fight out their differences first before agreeing to sit on the same table and negotiate, then negotiations turn into resolutions, then resolutions materialize in the form of laws. The Middle East is hardly given that chance because of foreign interests.

[@sea_clicks]

You are so good: I think your place belongs to a top seat in the Arab league or Saudi International ministry!

[@mohamedsamy1431]

He's American. A more appropriate place for him would be in a top seat in the United States Department of State. If people like professor Roy were in charge of the US foreign policy, the world would've been much better.

Ethiopia was the only african nation that has never been colonized::

It was colonized for 5years by Italians on 1935

[@bruckbedru8178]

@@azzam3109 is France colonized by Germany? no. So unless your an odious hypocrite you will realize that Ethiopia was occupied by fascist italy for 5 years nevertheless it was never colonized in fact nazi german managed to form its own system of governance, bureaucracy specially in North-western german for 5 years whereas fascist italy only managed to occupy the capital addis ababa and couple of towns 85% of Ethiopian land was under direct or Indirect control of Ethiopian patriotic forces.
