Kenan Evren and Zia Ul Haq were pretty similar. Both did a coup and came from military backgrounds.
Both shared anti communist sentiment.
It is said Kenan evren wanted to acquire nuclear weapons. Im...
It is said Kenan Evren and Hekmatyar kept in contact. Mainly due to Kenan Evren's anti communist sentiment. Kenan Evren sent support to the Afghan Mujahideen.
I cant find the source for it unfortunately because it disappeared.
Nalanda was a university but when the Muslim Turks invaded it was in decline.
I dont think the Turks destroyed it because they hated knowledge more like all nomads they loved raiding and looting.
Mongols and the Huns also practiced this type of warfare.
House of wisdom ended up in the same...
A lot of Turks love Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.
But they hate Rivaldo with a passion.
After seeing that shit I lost so much respect for that POS. A Ballon Dor winner too.

Also you have the missing link alongside human zoos.
Im really interested in finding proper sources...
Whats interesting too Judaism use to be a religion where they went and convert people.
But now being Jew is more of a race than a religious identity.
Everybody can be a Muslim or a Christian but not everybody can be Jewish.
Interesting how most of the ethnic groups in the Ottoman Empire rebelled at the end.
But we just love to single out the Arabs.
Sooner or later we were going to lose the Middle East anyway. It sucks how we lost all that oil and the holy cities also no Palestine vs Israel conflict.
Cant dwell...
