"Gengis accuses the British of being Muslim lovers for creating Pakistan, and I simply counter that they also created Israel, which is quite the opposite. "
Creation of Israel proves nothing. British Empire had the largest Islamic population any empire had in its history. And outside of the British Empire, Britain also created Iran, Iran and much of the present day Arab countries post WWII.
IIRC we fought hitler, togo, mussolini and the commies. islamic fundamentalism is one more battle we will fight and win.
thanks for your suggestion anyways. /sarc. but i dont remember us crying at indian spin doctors. it is you who keep blaming us or the brits for all your woes.
Not all brits were friends of israel. If they had half a chance they would have gladly sold israel to the arabs. The British imposed severe restrictions on Jewish immigration to Israel. Also let us not forget that it was the British that created the "Emir of Transjordan". If not for Truman, the Anglo American Committee of inquiry and the fairness of the American people the British would not have supported the formation of Israel.
"but i dont remember us crying at indian spin doctors."
Perhaps your memory is too short. You keep crying because "India had joined the Soviets". LOL.
Ah, now you point to the "mess" in the Middle East I referred to.
Time to go back to eating my pork rinds and ham sandwich while sitting on the toilet facing the general direction of Mecca.
Both he and you are one of mine - FReepers.
