Dozens detained after Syrian shops attacked in Turkey

www.france24.com

turks trying to get rid of arabs who refuse to go back and rebuild their country. this comes shortly after some syrian dude stabbed a turkish guy to death.

literally the exact same thing that's happening with them in europe. doesn't matter if they're all muslims! jfl

meanwhile gulf arabs never even took them in in the first place.

why do muslims always preach this unity thing when arguing with others?

Tribalism, nationalism, etc, these movements have always existed in the muslim world and especially outside of the muslim world, where they were promoted into the Islamic world, just look at Saddam's and Assad's Baathism which was forced unto muslim nations by the hand of a so called christian (Michel Aflaq, who was probably atheist anyways), nowadays these movements are more promoted than ever by external forces using all measures and skirmishes possible to do so, sanctions, pushing secular dictatorships, prevention of goods entering the land if you don't legalize such and such, etc. The fact that Islam made the most tribalistic societies of human history (and there isn't even a doubt on this) and made them join one flag and become in less than a century the biggest power in the world shows it's ability of making people unite, clearly more than any kind of ideology. If you go to ask people in Morocco or Algeria or whatever "What are you first, moroccan or muslim?", like 70% will answer muslim.

Don't see what is the matter, knowledgeable muslims know that we are one ummah according to Islamic teachings and even here you can see a Moroccan or Algerian calling a Balkan person or a Turkish "brother" and consider themselves such, but of course there are divisions because it's in human nature and at the end of the day it was prophesied nontheless.
