| Michel Aoun goes off the reservation |
Patronage, graft and nepotism were rampant in the Ottoman Empire. Landowners lived in Constantinople while collecting rent from properties in Lebanon, Syria, Macedonia, Rumelia, Crete and the Morea. The Ottomans swung between benign neglect and vicious vindictiveness in the administration of their colonies. It was government by decree and no one knew what the policy was from one day to the next.
Think this pisses the Turks off, just try mentioning something about Armenians…….or for that matter Aramaic Christians, or Kurds. Oh and theres this modern myth about how multicultural and tolerant the Ottoman Empire was. If you are even faintly entertaining that fraud, read up on your history. Not only in the Lebanon was Islamic rule marked by injustice and repression.
The 700 years of Islamic rule in the greater and lesser parts of India weakened their Dharmic society irreparably ( read V.S. Naipaul “ India – a wounded civilisation “. It is a miracle that their native society survived such a vicious onslaught. And so the Turks are enraged as Michel Aoun goes off the reservation. “Tension between Lebanon and Turkey after Aoun statements,” ANSAmed, September 6, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):Read it all here....................
