You made the claim, so why don't you... I know both Syria and Saddam used this line of reasoning to claim respectively Lebanon and Kuwait, but that does not make the claims valid... You are a common poster who does not back up claims with links, and then when this is pointed out shout either "you look it up" or "you link to a biased site" , as it truth is restricted to only approved PC sites
So are you going to back up your claim or just shut up or continue the crap you are posting on this issue??? For others to know how your claims are so tin-foil here are some maps see map 3.2, Note the borders of Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia (parts of which never a part of the Ottoman Empire), Egypt, or Palestine correspond to current borders. (Lebanon is the closest, but that was due to the pressure of the French which resulted in its creation in the 1800's) http://books.google.com/books?id=3kbU4BIAcrQC&pg=PA159&lpg=PA159&dq=map+ottoman+administration+districts&source=web&ots=Szh_-yEd1i&sig=JD6yNOESRY5FLzwr89mEPKUeOLw&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result#PPA161,M1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdivisions_of_the_Ottoman_Empire#Administrative_reform.2C_1864 On Jan 10, 2:50 pm, "Emin Mahmutovic" <[email protected]> wrote: > > FYI there are subjects we disagree strongly..
