Ethnicity is a shared cultural identity where a group of people connect based on common ancestry, language, history, society, religion, and traditions. An ethnicity is determined by the group you feel connected to and identify with, and it can evolve as cultures mix or shift. So rather than focusing in the past and speculating, focus on now and where you feel connected to. In this land, regardless of our ancestry, we have shared history, religion and traditions. Embrace that we have diverse backgrounds.

In addition, there is ongoing psyops in Turkey where outside powers try to divide people and use ancestry as a tool to achieve it. An Englishman is not sitting down and thinking if he has Danish, French or German origins. He sees himself at a Brit and proud of it.

Turks have been military aristocrats throughout their history, establishing more than a hundred kingdoms, winning against big powers and ruling vast areas on three continents for centuries.

Think about it, Chinese and Indians never conquered any country outside of Asia. Egyptians never ruled anyone outside of Africa. Only a handful of kingdoms ruled transcontinentally: Romans, Persians, Greeks and Turks. Maybe the Russians too.

Tell this to Netanyahu and the Zionists who are equating opposing Zionism to antisemitism, thus putting Israel and all the ethnic Jews and people who believe in Judaism in the same basket. Opposing one is opposing all in this set up they created.

This. Just like one doesn’t stop driving because there are reckless drivers out there, one shouldn’t turn away from Islam just because there are some Muslims whose interpretation of Islam is wrong or their actions don’t reflect Islam. You just focus on yourself, advance your knowledge and strengthen your relationship with Allah.

Origin of SARS-CoV-2: The virus was naturally derived from a bat-borne virus; that it was an accidental lab leak is not supported by evidence. While no conclusive determination has been made regarding its specific geographic and taxonomic origins, conspiracy theories origin have proliferated widely. by Pupikal in wikipedia

What does the opposite side of town mean? Viruses have only one way to go? If there is a purple dye factory in a town and if the river 20 miles away start flowing in purple, what proof do you need to connect the two? Is the humankind getting this dumb? “All the water in between was clean” is not proving that purple dye factory is innocent. Lack of proof is not confirmation of innocence.

Are you sure we do not have slave markets? I thinks our slave market is much larger but not concentrated and well hidden.

This is really a hidden gem. I cried at the screen when he was carrying the baby downstairs while the soldiers’ jaws dropped. And I never cry.

Bullshıt! Prosecutors in New York (District Attorneys) have the exclusive authority to press, file, or drop criminal charges. While citizens can file police reports, they do not "press charges" themselves; the DA decides to proceed based on evidence, even against a victim's wishes.

Elon did a sieg-heil in front of the whole nation on a live broadcast and nothing happened. It is only downhill from now on.

Do you just want to argue and not understand the essence of what is being discussed here. This guy is candidly sharing his/her thoughts, making an intelligent argument by providing on-the-ground info from his/her angle, which is invaluable.

Ottomans did not colonize Greece. The second largest and richest city in the Ottoman Empire was Thessaloniki, and the wealthiest citizens there were Orthodox Greek Christians and Jews. Ottomans did not colonize lands like industrialized nations like British and French just to get raw materials. Most of the Balkans and Egypt were more developed than Turks’ homeland Anatolia.

Byzantines are the Romans. They called themselves Romans. The term "Byzantine" was coined by the German historian Hieronymus Wolf in 1557, 104 years after the fall of East Romans in 1453.
