No such thing according to who? Since you mentioned creed and Islamic ideology you should be aware that we have such a principle in our religion. Even if you would consider these leaders the worst of the worst, that does not mean that it's in the best interest of the Muslim nation, and arab...

We need to adopt the "The lesser of two evils" concept which I see that you have failed to address a couple of times. A destroyed Jordan, or Egypt, or any other Middle Eastern country only serves the expansionist, and interest of the Americans, and their Western counterparts. There is time for...

400? Do not forget that Turkey is working on network-centric warfare, and fighter jets are not the only asset. We are talking about drones of various types ranging from TB-3, ANKA-1/3-4, and Kizilelma that work jointly with the future kAAN. Turkey is operating almost 250 F-16s, and many of...

@Kartal1 Perhaps time to change the title? The Sahel region seems to be going towards a greater development then issues regarding terrorism.

No way it's 40 billion USD for the total deal. I remember doing a little bit of research in the past regarding the cost of the acquisition of the F-35, as well as equipment, and infrastructure costs. I found a number between 200-300 million USD per F-35 including maintenance, equipment, and...

There is no need to make such a move, Sebta/mellila are small cities that would be destroyed within an hour by the Moroccan artillery if needed. Spain deploying more troops to these cities would only make them vulnerable, since the logistics would only be delivered by sea, and air. Spain has...

Fierce rebellious warriors, the Amazigh of Morocco were the least Romanized/Christianized people in the entire Roman Empire. There were only 4 localities controlled by the Catholic Church in Morocco compared to 175 localities in current Algeria and 141 in Tunisia. Morocco was a powerful...

"These Berbers are magnificent, they don't know the word surrender, just one of them can attack an entire patrol. They never run away. I admire them and I love them but I kill them on sight." - French officer posted in Marrakech in 1934.

Mauritania, a former Moroccan territory, will be separated from the Alaouite empire after the French expedition and its creation by Xavier Coppolani in 1903. In a letter written by himself before his death, he said: "I hope you have not forgotten that Mauritania is the natural continuation of...

Moroccan involvement in WW2 Did you know? The 2 German tank divisions (750 tanks and 30,000 men) that crushed the Polish army in 1939 were defeated at Gembloux by Moroccan soldiers. The president of the French museum in Chastre assures that Moroccan soldiers changed the outcome of the...
