Loyalty: To Race or Ideology?

hey everyone. I'm a palestinian catholic (we exist mostly as diaspora) living in the US. from a young age I've been taught by my family to be wary of Islam and muslims in general. that most of them are decent people, but they will be caught up in politics and will have no issue sidelining and abusing non-muslim minorities for their own gain. despite being palestinian and speaking palestinian-arabic at home, I never was taught about arab history in any good way. the islamic conquerors are seen as heroic ancestors by muslim arabs, but my family sees them as foreign invaders that tried to destroy christianity in the levant and egypt.
my father always stresses that
> "we're canaanite/israelite, not arab. we dont come from the arabian peninsula and you're not muslim, user"
which some lebanese will find very similar to the "we're phoenician lebanese, not arab" argument, or the "we're coptic pharoahs, not arab" argument in egypt. so I've never really seen myself as arab or see any of their heroes as mine.
but who am I to support? fellow christians who 90% of which are non-arab, and a lot of which despise arabs?
or do I put aside my religious practices and side with my fellow middle easterners, despite their persecution of my people?
or should I admire European Christendom, but side first and foremost with fellow ME christians? I feel like I have to pick one or the other here. if there was another crusade between christianity and islam, I would have to either side with the crusaders or my "fellow arabs".
i mean there are already wars going on in africa where christians and slaughtering muslims and vice versa.

anyway please help Jow Forums. you can bring up Israel if you like but I can be anti-israel and anti-muslim at the same time. israel isn't christian

what world are you living in? european christendom is dead and buried, and unlikely to revive. if we ever kick out the arabs, it will be for racial reasons, not religious.
as for siding with global catholicism, why would you ever want to associate yourself with the subhumans of latin america (or with a pope who sucks muslim toes)? they aren't yours. stick with your middle eastern christians, and don't concern yourself with the rest of it.

>I'm a palestinian living in the US
Get out, shitskin. Go back to the shithole country you crawled out of, you aren't wanted here.

I'm not wanted in the shithole country I crawled out of, that's the fucking problem. if I side with arabs, i get the dhimmi stick in my ass and zero freedom. if i side with fellow based black men like yourself, i get told to fuck off. see my dilemna?

well maybe if your cuck government listened to Lawrence when they had the chance, Al Saud wouldn't be funding global terror and making the middle east a wahhabi death-obsessed shithole.
and in terms of christianity in Europe, I meant eastern europeans, russians, and then of course the hordes of non-euro christians. but you do have a point. what do latino catholics have in common with me? we pray the same way, if they're religious at all? i think you're right here as much as i dont want to admit it my man. west/best europe is too liberal as well

If the Arab Muslims won't accept you then stick to Catholicism because they will accept you regardless of race. In fact Catholics love hearing about persecuted christians in the Middle East so you should use this to your advantage

Brits are cunts for overlooking one of their finest countrymen

Hello, Lebanese Diaspora here. I would like to make a few comments. First, supporting the Arab rebellion against the Ottomans was the worst of all possible mistakes. He ruined a millennial and operative social order, and delivered the Levant to the shadowy interests of the West, and his representatives to Banu Hashemi (yes, the mea culpa is necessary).

That being said, what is done is done. We are not Arabs; nor are our Muslim compatriots. They were merely arabized - a result of the bad policy of the Umayyads, which tried to marginalize all non-Arabs, and created stigma for centuries.

You may think that the Arab conquest was a curse, but, in fact, made possible the resurgence of the Levant. Without the stifling tributes of Constantinople, without the Emperor's Melkite lackeys, without the systematic pursuit of the Miaphysites, without the lethal environment of enterprise and property.

The Crusades were propelling the demographic change. The Levantine Christians were the majority until then. From their protected status, Christians became enemies of their own homeland. Conversion was preferable to hostility for many.

Even so, the Levantine Christian community remained active and solid. Living up to the patriarchates of Antioch and Jerusalem, except for a few and regrettable incidents that dotted the centuries.

I have contact with the Palestinian community in my city - quite substantial. "Systematic Persecution" does not seem to adequately describe the form of coexistence between Christians and Muslims in Palestine.

There is a very special reason for the vast diaspora of Palestinian Christians. And it's not the Muslims.

Never abandon your roots, user.

The Palestinian territories used to be full of arab Christians. What happened?

Zionism + Islamism of course.
