2. The revival of the Ottoman Empire
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Fairport   (04.13.10)
Arabs must be thrilled with Turkey's attempts to subjugate them again in a modern style.
3. Lebanese channeles still the BEST

4. #3
(04.13.10)
as long as they are not al manar or hizbullah's channels that, instead of lifting lebanon from iran and syria's influence and destruction of their country, lebanon needs objective non propaganda tv stations. the old anti jew anti israel modos operandi doesn't wash anymore. lebanese are not stupid. they are the most modern of the arab world. by the way, rami, where are all lebanese christians in lebanon. they are disappearing by the thousands and migrating because of islamic persecution. are you not concerned about this trend? after all, you are christian arab yourself. hameed aboughaze, iranian
5. Thats awesome-love the Turks. I like some israelis too
Sultan ,   Jeddah   (04.14.10)
especially the Israeli girls who tries to seduce me into buying dead sea scrub in America. It didnt work but I still liked them ;)
6. #4 thats a myth. Lebanon has hundreds of Christian towns
Sultan ,   Jeddah   (04.14.10)
I was in Lebanon a couple of months ago, and christians simply own all the prestigious neighbourhoods of Beirut, which is why Lebanese Shiites like you have nothing left but violence and Iranian worship. Lebanese Christians reside in and control hundreds of towns through out Lebanon by the way, so the fact that many of them immigrated in the 20th century doesnt mean all of them have- they still make up 35-40% of the population, and are the wealthiest of all Lebanese citizens along with Sunnis. Ignorant Iranian.
7. Channel 751, sex with camels, that will get an audience.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.14.10)
With the expertise the turks have in producing such shows, they will hit #1 in less than a month. I always root for the double humps, how about you?
8. Guys, please check your language!
(04.14.10)
weapon and seduction - that's the only thing you can think about? i would appreciate some more serious and respectful writings
9. to #6 the Franch did worse than the Brits after
ghostq   (04.14.10)
WW1 true, all lebanon was chritian until they came however, today they welcome Hizb to their gov, so it's as if they r participating with the shiite.
10. that sounds nice
jerusalem   (04.14.10)
that reminds me to reprogram my satellite. i hope that there will be more to come. and hopefully they will open another home grown turkish channel, but in english also.
11. #6 - Isn't that why Shiite violence against Christians?
William ,   Israel   (04.14.10)
Because Shiites in the South are poorer and more violent, and they see Christians (and Jews) as rich, feel it's both an unfair sharing of wealth and Christian supremacy over Shia ideals?? There's been a lot of violence against Christians and their towns since 1970. I speak to Lebanese Christians and they tell me the real situation there. The fact that Christians are still there doesn't make it an ideal situation, especially with growing Shia hegemony.
12. #9 - and the Golan was also part of British Mandate/Israel
William ,   Israel   (04.14.10)
But thanks to political wrangling, the French got it and gave it to Syria, splitting up the Greater Syrian empire that Assad hopes to reconstitute to this day.
13. #9 hizbullah had a stunning defeat in the last elections
Sultan ,   Jeddah   (04.15.10)
Their defeat was reported in haaretz btw: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1091074.html anyway, shiites are a big minority in lebanon so as a democratic country, hizbullah does have some representation in the parliament, but very small one.
14. to #12 wrong in 1901 jews bought lads in the Golan
ghostq   (04.15.10)
yep some lands r privat there you have to understand that Syria was founded only in 1940 so go learn history cause you r babling.
15. to #13 wrong since the last elections officialy
ghostq   (04.15.10)
hizb r in the lebanese gov, Hariri Junior add hizb to the parliament, that means giving in to the people who murdered his father and now any rocket from Lebanon the lebanese gov will be responsible. not smart move since now official lebanese structures will be under retaliate attake, in other words lebanon is getting more and more Muslims.
16. TURKEY AND IRAN CONTROLLING THE ARAB WORLD
sally ,   Tel Aviv   (04.15.10)
And the beat goes on.
17. Erdogan's dreams - Expansion?,Conquest?
joe   (04.15.10)
HE is quite correct " Turks & arabs are the fingers of one hand ". The then, Ismael Enver Pasha of Turkey, eliminated 1.3 billion Armenians, 830.000 Greeks, 500.000 Assyrians. A mere 2.530.000, while the modern disciples of muhammad , allah & Co. look forward to emulate him with 5.5 million Jews. --- Keep looking. With their fanatic upbringing, their koran's scriptures/commands, their kings, ayatollahs, imams, mullahs,etc, etc. are achieving (albeit to slow) self genocide: Immolation of their own children by grateful parents, teachers; killing their women via honor, stoning, whipping and more; slaughtering each other with gusto in mosques, markets, religious processions, streets of the muslim world. Is this Erdogan's utopia for his new and vibrant Turkey?. Then I think that he will need an additional 2 or 3 channels in order to convey his message to the masses. ------ A point of interest. The half hearted reaction of the world powers to the plight of Armenians was duly noted by a young politician Adolf Hitler who, after achieving total power, told his generals in 1939 " I have sent to the East my ' Death's Head Units ' with orders to kill without mercy or pity all men, women and children of Polish race or language. Who still talks nowadays about the Armenians ? " AH ! HISTORY ....!-------- ISRAEL,8367 sq miles with 7,3 million population. ---- ARAB LEAGUE, 22 countries 6.145.389 sq miles with 1.48 Billion population ( a 1/4 of world population) ----- EUROPE , 3.837.081 sq miles. As you can see according to idiotic ,vitriolic propaganda , Israel is about to conquer the world. Imbeciles, fools and Satan worshipers (including the UN) would believe it. --- It would take 735 Israels to cover the mass of arab land ; and about 457 Israels to cover the mass of Europe. Very obvious, Europe and the Arab world need Israel's land to expand !!!
