Half of your region is in constant war because you cant figure what you are, even with all the tribalism you are condused and have to constantly flp flop between larping as some primitive bedouins from arabia and mesopotamians, the things that are pointedoutin your historiography are normally greek conquests, roman conquests, turkic conquests, and finally the anglos pulling up and bombing your region into a parking lot while you are impotent to even do shit about israel for the last 2 centuries. Striking contrast with the pretense of a warrior culture that some meek ashkenazis inna tiny strip cant be defeated no matter how much you rage against them.

You bring up the ottomans, but down there you are also aware they were turkics from china that contributed to the endless age of humilliation haunting your region, including turning the jewel of the arab world, baghdad, into a burning ruin by raping all the women and slaugthering all the men while you were impotent about it.
Even today half of your region is some hapa churkoid abominations spawned by mass rape

Whenever you are not reading about arab feuds within your region is about being colonized by some foreign power
Which is humilliating and burns down your skin, even the islamic golden age mytheme is a cope you propped up because you felt overshadowed by the european reinassance, colonial era, industrial revolution and whatnot
