Hey, I was noticing. Your Ottomans owned all the land in the Middle East back in 1900 or so. You guys put in with the Germans in WWI. Bummer.
And, why didn't your new and improved Islam lead the denizens of all that land you ruled out of their 8th Century Culture? Thanks for your input, hey and thanks to you and your countrymates for taking all that Taliban opium and making heroin out of it.
