  1. As a Nigerian, my simple answer for why Arabs continue to fail militarily and socioeconomically is: Bad geography, poor social and economic systems, poor culture that rejects innovation, meritocracy, or modernity, poor political systems, failing legal and social institutions, dutch disease, tribalism and others. Also, the colonialism excuse is just lazy and mainly used by tribalist Arabs as an excuse. Same way Pan-Africans use it as an excuse for Africa's failings.

  2. Come to what? Israel still exists for more than half a century, has stable/good relations with more Arab neighbors, has a strong military and economy, while their enemies are increasingly losing militarily and politically😂😂😂

  5. No, it's Arab culture. Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, even Muslim Balkans are more developed and have better economies a d cultures.

  11. @UnknownUser-f9w  respect to you Turkish people, from Nigeria 👍You remind me of the Southern Yoruba Muslims in my country. You people are a largely Muslim country but your culture is not like the Arabs and that is why you progress. You value education, tolerance, innovation, industrialization, capitalism, modernity and it has served to help advance your country. This was happening thanks to Ataturk and the innate culture of Turkey during the Ottoman empire that was even trying to modernize back then.

  12.  @HistoryBasis  yes, they are Islamic but they are not Arabic. That's why they succeed 😄

  13. @moveone9013  yep. That's why they are underdeveloped and unstable

  14. @moveone9013  I feel it's more their culture. Indonesia and Turkey and Malaysia are isIamic but have better developed, capitalist, modern and largely stable countries. Arab culture is the problem.

  15.  @Nation654  but they have South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, all places with history of war, and they also have oil so you are either ignorant or just making useless excuses😕
