Imagine if the Islamic world was 90% Shia rather than Sunni...
Only 5 lashes instead of 10.
And women only need be buried up to their waste, instead of up to the neck.
imagine if the islamic world had communist regimes for decades and they're nowadays mostly atheist and culturally islamic
>Shi'ites are bro-tier
loving this meme
Don't Shia have that fuckinwotm8 tradition of chopping their own flesh open for the laugh?
Theres a gif floating around of some bloke lashing his own back with a machete and his back just splits open like a skin jacket.
Imagine that being on your streets every year

we don't need more albanians
shias are brotier if u disagree u are butthurt salafist

Everything about Islamic extremism leads back to the Soviet-Afghan war and how Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the US spread wahabbism.
Imagine if NATO didn't try to remove secular leaders simply because they wanted cheaper oil (Iran)
Imagine if NATO didn't chimp out and remove Gadafi
You reap what you sow faggots

I think that islamic culture is ok as culture
But not as a faith because leads to extremism
So I think that one of things that communism did right was laicism in islamic countries.
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan... the central-asian ex-soviet muslim countries are muslim but totally different to the rest, because they're now peaceful.
Before the soviet union they were caliphates too

I think Azerbaijan is the best example of a secular Islamic country after being under the influence of communism.
Keep in mind they still hang gays from cranes, or so I've heard.
>>52049078
It's easy to relapse. The gypsies here were non-religious during communism. Then western evangelics came here and they turned protestan. Now the saudis have come and they turned wahhabi.
>>52049187
Kemalism is easily the best political ideology the Muslim world ever spawned.
Not quite Arab though.
>>52049187
>Keep in mind they still hang gays from cranes, or so I've heard.
I see nothing wrong with that.
>>52049187
Azerbaijan was ok in these things during communism (I'm not a commie, it had really bad things too) but in the fall of the soviet union they developed a turkish-brotherly nationalism embracing islam and these things sadly
It's the same than Ukraine that became stupidly nationalistic after the fall
Anyways Azerbaijan isn't taliban
>>52049179
Well shiites are a minority and most of them live in somewhat homogenous Iran.
Both are cray cray, but i'll give you that, on an internationnal scale they're less of an annoyance. Hwever it can be eplain by geopolitics and how they are mostly self contained outside of lebanon for nstance
>>52049261
Yeah despite the memes, turks knew how to get some things right
>>52048856
nigga.........
>>52049425
Shia extremists kill Sunni extremists like ISIS
Sunni extremists kill Muslims and western civilians
>>52049736
I agree, it's just that statiscally a list of such factions is bound to have more sunnis, for the sake of the argument y'know.
But th self harm shit weirds me out bruh (still better than blowing up markets thpough)
>>52049888
I'm quite sure a grand ayatollah in Iran has issued a fatwa against that sort of gruesome self-flagellation.
>>52049888
Cutting yourself is banned in Iran, Lebanon. I think I some pakis and Indians do it.
Hezbollah and Khameini tell people to donate blood.
>>52050071
>>52050043
good for them then, desu
I might be a bit drunk but has a region is history been as much as a clusterfuck as the middle east nowadays? i feel like a lot of cultural potential is lost on this bullshit
>>52049261
Kemalism is worse than islamism. Remember the genocides, ethnically cleansing, the fascism and social engineering. Stop believing Turkish memes. Kemalism is terrible.
If they were more independent of Iran, it'd be okay. Shias were less crazy before the Islamic Revolution and I imagine they still could be.
But if Iran had the sway it has now, it'd be pretty terrible. One Islamic Republic is enough.
>>52050226
same as baathism. still better than churkas durkin it out in the streets
>>52050226
>genocides
>ethnic cleansing
well meme'd
>>52050198
Nope. It's probably the worst I can think of.
Africa is shittier if you want to count that.
>>52050284
>Denying early 20th century history of Turkey/kemalists.
>>52050258
Or they are all terrible ideologies.
>>52050290
lel, everybody always forgets about africa
white privilege is comfy af if i do say so myself
>>52050284
Kemalism is literally worse than everything. Do you know the shame of learning your native language from dictionary ?
>>52050571
I read somewhere that one of Kemals speeches had to be translated like 3 times over the years because his Turkish was so different to the modern one
>>52050644
They claimed they were going to cleanse Turkish from foreign words because of muh nationalism and stuff. Then they removed only Arabic and Persian ones and replaced them with either retarded mongolian versions or european versions. Literally just fuck my shit up. And these people are called our "saviors"
