"Sometime You need evil sinful people - in appearance or ideology - to make you realize to reform your World"--[x] [Sociopolitical-Understanding].

Holes of Arabia[1]: The Beginning;
Back to the desert land, before the Arab men even knew something called borderline or flag or a constitution or at least the concept of "my country is better than yours", all they knew were natures and statues- idols to worship, and tribes to obey. 40 years of Bloodshed over a camel, a poem killed its poet or its savior, an innocent baby girl got buried alive, a baby was born as a slave or a clan leader, all these were just part of their daily costumes, belief and news. Their abnormal love and loyalty toward their tribes made them the weakest, the most separated people of the same blood on the region. While Civilizations scientifically and sociopolitically rose and fell, they stayed the same. Until one day, a man with a message, a very powerful message - There's no God but Allah - his message shook the world, and reformed it to something very unique, since then till today it's been reforming and reshaping the world.
When Islam expanded, from far East to far West, some might believe that it spread by the sword, but that's far from the truth. Islam's peacefulness and civil laws qualities made itself the most acceptable way of life at that time to preserve any one's rights as a human being. Therefore, many people converted and it was easy to keep them under control. For example, Muslims did not unleashed their swords in Indonesia for Islam, nor in America today, the first is the largest Muslim country and the second has Islam as the fastest growing religion. Islam is the most powerful tool to unite people under one umbrella of faith, of social equality and clean from Nationalistic emblemism, and Tribalistic dogmas & unIslamic mythical traditional set of believes.
When We were on the top, and everyone else was wondering and roaming around us, thinking of a way to destroy us, to make us broken pieces of a mirror. When we were careless and got busy about life's wealth and fortunes, when we were busy fighting each others. When we forgot the message we shall spread. The West was rising slowly, peacefully and also bloody aggresively & effectively through revolutions such as the Fall of Andalusia 1492 & The Rise of the Naval imperialist Expeditions powers - Spain, Protugal, & Britain. Then later the American Revolution 1775-1785 & The born of the new nation, then the French revolution in 1789 & The rise of Napoleon. Eventually, The Aftermath of WWI, we fell completely in 1922, historically it's marked as The fall of the Ottoman empire.
The Muslim world in general, and Arab World specifically was gone into an age of darkness and ignorance. The Rise of the Arab nationalism - Thanks to Lowrence of Arabia! - helped so much to end the Ottoman role. In fact, the Ottoman role was very abusive of power in its final days. It actually made the Arab world - ignorant. Maybe, it would be better if Arabs replaced the Ottoman role with Islam - not Nationalism. With the Sykes-Picot agreement of 1916 among the colonial powers - without mentioning their ugly names - Most Arabic tribes were happy to be divided in fact, each created its own country, and claimed its "Independence" and labeled itself with weird names, either names associated with their founder or an alienish ancient name.
The questions now are;
Good Night dear readers.

The questions now are;
- -Was the way these countries were created and divided fair enough?
- -Or was it to serve the colonial powers If so, why does a citizen of any of these new born countries become so proud and nationalist toward his so-called flag?
Good Night dear readers.
