I wasn't blaming Arabs I was just saying if a region turns into desert it was probably due to humans living there. Doesn't matter what their religion.
I think that's true.. A family might also have a slave who was the chicken boy or worked with camels and goats..hauled water.. The houses were very tall with real thick walls that got thinner going up.. and typically there were "camel stairs".. so a donkey or camel could carry fuel to the roof where the cooking was done. The design of the house helped keep it cool and acted like a flue for hot air.
Margot2 gave this fact on his/her claim that there were Arabs hundred of thousand years ago. This is of course not true, which I stated in my comment. I dont have a clue why you qouted me, to be honest.
The Arabian peninsula is still slowly tilting toward the East. The Persian Gulf was once a lake closed to the Indian Ocean.. The lake was shallow and fed by the Tigris and Euphrates. Underneath Arabia is a huge aquifer of fossil water that also flows to the East. KSA has built some 300 recharge dams to capture ground water. Depending on the substrata this helps replenish the aquifers. When I was little there were fresh water springs popping up in the Persian Gulf... and I believe the Bahrain archipelago has many fresh water springs dating back to Dilmun.
You'd think with so much ground water the Arabs could grow food to feed themselves instead of raiding caravans and pirating vessels at sea. Why doesn't Saudi Arabia resemble the wheat fields of Kansas?
Because they don't have enough water to grow grains. That's why they have leased thousands of acres in Sudan. Why did you think Arabs were pirates? They were traders and merchants selling everything from salt to silks ..to dates... They did raid from time to time, but most caravans traveled to Egypt, Mesopotamia, Yemen, and the Levant. They did sail dhows to Eat Africa and the Indus Valley.
It highly depend of what you call arabic for that. Arabs from the arabic peninsula have few richness. However, arabs from the maghreb (Algeria, Morroco, Tunisia from the small maghreb) or Palestine, Syria and Lebanon have rather rich lands. Egypt was rather rich with the nil.
While I have your attention any truth to the rumor Arabs are still selling black Africans into slavery or is that one of those internet fake news stories? I value your opinion.
It's not about black people, but many associations alerte the conditions of life and work of nepalese workers in Qatar for soccer world cup, their conditions of life are close to slavery.
Egypt is no longer rich.. They have a problem with literacy and too many people living on a dollar a day. I agree about Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Syria has very little arable land... Palestine still has a huge water deficit compounded by the destruction of the water table in the Jordan Basin.
Not trying to be sarcastic but didn't people warn the Arabs whatcha gonna do when the oil dries up? It's not drying up I know but it's getting cheaper than dirt.
In 100 years? More oil is being diverted to downstream manufacturing and they sell thousands of tons of fertilizer to SE Asia. They are building 17 nuclear power plants and have many solar applications.. Nuclear will drive more desalination and produce cheap electricity. They are expanding their mining and manufacturing sectors. (500,000) new manufacturing jobs 3 years ago. They have gold, uranium, lots of bauxite... other ores. They are serious planners and take the long view.
Turks aren't arabic but their muslim leader Erdogan declared the demographic war to Europe by encouraging every turks to breed as fast as possible. Secularity don't exist in islam, and so it can't exist in a secular state without threatening it. How can we imagine that a pictureless culture who encourage the veil could exist in a culture who have a 5 centuries old pictural tradition of the nude ?
So, if they are coming from Syria, they are not Arabs? Who trusts globalists organizations like UN an UNHRC, who created the problem in the first place? We all saw pictures and videos about how many women and how many young men there were. Who are you trying to fool?
Mmmm .. Arabs are origin Bedouins. Palestinians are Bedouins. The Syrian Arab refugees are the 2017 Bedouins ... in this case they will settle in Europe.
