King Hussein really was one of the most skilled statesmen of his time. Not only did he avoid the fate of other Monarchies like in Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt or Libya by defeating a fedayeen insurgency and Syrian invasion, but he also kept Jordan as one of the most stable nations in the middle east while maintaining a well trained military, all in spite of it's less than desirable geopolitical situation. Respect to Jordan from the U.S 🇺🇸👍🇯🇴

King Hussein is still talked about and praised to this day in jordan no doubt about it he did good for his people and cared about each and every person under him it didnt matter if you were in the army, if you were a homeless person, or if you were just a normal person with a family you were treated the same and he made you feel as if your status was even with him… thats what my dad taught and told me i never had the pleasure if being alive during his time but if my dad loved him ill do the same…

As a Sunni Turk, I like history and geography. Arabs and Kurds are unfortunately not as warlike as Turks. Persians are not bad, we could not conquer Iran as Ottomans, but the Iranian people are far from us in terms of religion. Americans think Iranians are Muslims. Do Muslims curse Hz. Abu Bakr, Omar and Osman? They persian do. . As for the man in the video, he is a British apprentice of Hashemite descent. In fact, some members of the royal family received their education in Britain or America. The man's ancestor betrayed the Ottomans like his other compatriots, his great ancestor Hz. Muhammad, peace upon him. There has been chaos since the Ottomans left these places, the flags of Arab countries were drawn by the British (including Palestine), and their governments are self-interested, position-loving so-called Muslims. My ancestors (Ottomans) collapsed economically after geographical discoveries, so they could not industrialize and missed the train. We are scientifically behind. The Middle East is worse than Turkey, but I do not like Mustafa Kemal because I am a religious person. I am an engineer who was born in Istanbul and still lives there. If anyone has any questions, they can write :)

But shall we succumb ?? this is a question I pose to the free Arab intellectuals, university lecturers, students, trade unions, doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, the Arab masses, in fact all the enlightened Arabs. هــل من مـجيــب؟؟؟؟. شـــكرا.
@bilaltariq575110 жыл бұрын
f mck Thank you very much for this. U R spot on. This is what i'm trying to say to our people. The biggest enemy to unity and democracy, are tribalism and sectarianism. These last two are used by our rulers to stay in power and keep their useless dynastic rule going, and outsiders to keep us divided, sub-divided and fighting each other. Therefore we are weak and easy meal. Nepotism is another tool in the hands of those rulers. In Ireland, the president, as is the queen in the Uk are constitutional and symbols only, but running the country is the job of an elected leadership. Yes agree, that Turkey is finally doing the thing, after years of dictatorship. In fact as a Muslim, these days, my model are Malaysia and Turkey. I want change and unity in the Arab World, but this should NEVER come through the gun, but by the millions of our people. This will never happen without the middle classes- intellectuals, uni lecturers, students, doctors, lawyers, teachers and all trade unions(they are destroyed by the regimes though) etc, these who should lead the masses for change. So far we lost 100s of 1000s people dead and total destruction of some our most beautiful and historical cities, and no solution in sight, not to mention the long lasting hatred and disunity. How many people, we would have lost, if we followed the civil disobedience((no destruction of public or private properties)) and strikes way?? much, much less and the these tyrants will have no place to go. Ireland and Scotland?? well, it is similar because sectarianism is used for political reasons, for example Southern/Northern Ireland. You have been through a lot of blood shed. I'm gland now that is stopped and I wish the Catholic and protestants all the best and unity, though in 20-30 yrs, the Southerners will get their wish, a united Ireland. I've got to stop me here, other wise, I will never stop, it is too bitter. It is a pleasure to hear your opinion and it is valid, truthful and neutral. Cheer you.

f mck and Bilal Tariq I think I agree with you both. We have barely survived trying to fight back... I think in his later years King Hussein tried to achieve strength through peace, but the problem is peace cannot come without unity. I think the reason we are divided and subdivided as you mentioned is because we keep looking at the step ahead and forget to look at the end of the road. we don't cooperate by looking at the big picture and all we can do is protest and cause chaos. I honestly do not know what the solution is to our tribalism. it takes generations of re-educating to get rid of foolishness.

+f mck You say to abolish clans yet you should know that the Hashemites themselves are a clan, and people followed them because they were a royal clan. Abolishing Arabs clans and tribes i doubt it will ever happen, and i dont see a difference if it was abolished anyway, the same uneducated Arabs would still kill and murder (outside of jordan ofc) tribalism and clanism has been around from the first Arabs, even if it was possible people wouldnt want to go against their origins.

yowza It was well and truly stuffed before Khan got there. Mohammad and his apostles did a fine and dandy job in raping and murdering people, too.
