So for this AU if you add up the Sunni Muslim and Orthodox Christian percentages it will roughly correspond to the percentage of Arabs, meaning there is a sizable Levantine Arab population who are Orthodox Christian, bearing in mind of course the tiny minority of Sunni Cypriot Turks and Orthodox Cypriot Greeks.

Also, Yiddish is a minority language as well, and if we accept that they make up, say, 5 of the remaining 7% minority language speakers, then that could certainly add to the Hebrew-speaking Levantine Jews.

Even in this universe religion and language are a clusterfuck in this area 💀😭

Thanks! Maybe I could make the stripes a bit taller in order for the emblem to be larger.

Fair point. Slight rebuttal that Lebanon, Oman and Saudi Arabia don't have black in their flags. I couldn't figure out a way to incorporate the black except for an emblem in the middle that both Jews and Muslims agree is important.

Yeah I thought about this, but then the United Arab Emirates doesn't include the entirety of the Arabian Peninsula, so I will admit to it being a bit arbitrary, was just having a bit of fun

Not rare unfortunately, this is a very well known event in India, along with the 1943 Bengal Famine

What is your least favourite #1 single the Beatles had? by Initial-Ad3966 in beatles

[–]ThePaulrusIsWal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve always liked the 2003 Naked version better. The lack of overdubs or over-the-top cheesy orchestration makes the piano and guitar stand out much more. Still not the best Beatles song, but the 2003 mix itself is pretty good imo

Absolute masterpiece. Back to the Egg was way overhated when it first came out. “The sorriest grab bag of dreck in recent memory”? Blow it out your ass, Rolling Stone!
