What's the most pleasant accent? I've heard it was Lebanese.
Adrian Scott
I don't like arabic. As a language, it's fine. But the fact there's a culture around it that see it as divine, as the only important language, that everyone should speak, that's bad.
Hudson Cruz
>MSA, it's the language of the Qur'an I thought that was classical arabic?
Weird that ba'athism didn't pan out. As a group arabs are practically as homogenous as Chinese, so why couldn't they hold together under a single state?

Lebanese sounds the most pleasant, yeah. It's the softest and least guttural sounding one. Honestly sounds like a completely different language when you compare it to other dialects like Gulfie.
It's mostly mentally retarded diasporans who have grown up in the West their whole lives and have never stepped foot in the Middle East who say shit like that.
Carter Garcia
Because the main proponent (Nasser) was terrible at diplomacy with Israel, and at one point he had to choose between "Cairo gets attacked, you look like a retard, but your allies still like you" and "save Cairo, get everyone angry at you."
Owen Kelly
That's true but Diasp*roids don't know that.
Modern Standard Arabic.
What? You honestly couldn't be more wrong.
Zachary Garcia
Lebs sound like shit
Nolan Gomez
the reason why the arab world has diverse dialects that are almost intelligible from one another is because none of these countries spoke arabic originally. it's the evolution of the language, in many different countries as it blended with the original local languages of these countries. all abrashitic religions are shit ideologies that aimed to replace the local culture and beliefs and replace it with even more illogical bullshit.
William Bennett
No they don't.
Gabriel Morales
>What? You honestly couldn't be more wrong. Sure. Clearly this group of north african desert dwellers is WILDLY different from this group of middle eastern desert dwellers, who just happen to speak the same language and have the same religion as them.
I mean obviously you're not all the same, and there's very large cultural differences. But it doesn't really match the great diversity of peoples that you see within a nation like India, for example, if you catch my point.
As an ex-muslim I can't help but to hate Arabic and Arab culture.
Gabriel Gonzalez
just a random picture I had, btw. I don't mean just Arabs within that small blue part of the arab world.
William Clark
>who just happen to speak the same language false >happen to have the same religion also false.
Lucas Hill
You're still very wrong. "Arab" is an artificial identity that was only invented in the ~20th century by pan-Arabists. In reality, "Arabs" can be divided into several groups all of which are extremely different from each other both culturally and genetically.
>same language We don't speak the same language. Arabic dialects are so vastly different from each other that they can be considered totally separate languages. The only reason they aren't is for the sake of "muh arab unity".
>same religion This isn't actually true in practice, unless you believe that shorts-wearing, unveiled Lebanese women follow the same religious morals as their Saudi counterparts.
Justin Gutierrez
This. Pan-Arabism is a failed ideology that should just stay in history books. Pan-Arabists fail to recognize that the Levant/Gulf/Maghreb all have different dialects, cuisine, traditions, etc. To unite all of those regions is to erase their previous culture in favor of a made up one.
Cooper James
Exactly. Pan-Arabists honestly have no convincing arguments, all they can do is go "REE MUH CALIPHATE MUH PAST GLORY".
Ethan Moore
we should strive for Pan-Levant, Pan-Khaleej and, Pan-Maghreb instead.
