What is "moral support" exactly supposed to mean ?

I mean, Palestianian freedom fighters have moral support from almost everyone in the world. However without Iranian and some Arabic support there would not be any Palestinian national resistance.

Default Re: The Middle East, Islam & Israel: Where do you stand?

I voted for:

Europe should not get involved in any actions against Islamic countries outside its borders, only get rid of Islam at home. No preemptive/preventive actions should be taken against trojan or neighbouring Muslim countries.

The notion of preemptive attacks sounds a bit barbaric and unreasonable to me. It reminds me of the Bush doctrine. No Islamic country possesses any sizable military force that could endanger Europe. Diplomatic actions would be welcome.

Of course, Europe should be militarily strog (now it is extremely weak)...this strength alone should be enough to avert any possible attack if one of these neighbouring countries comes into possession of any sizable military might.

Demography is problem though. An Algerian president (I think it was Ben Bella) once said: "Our women's wombs are our weapon." It is Europe destroying itself with low birthrates. Along with "getting rid" of Muslim immigration, European peoples should adopt a new philosophy of life because if this unhealthy life-style of most Europeans perpetuates itself, Europe will perish even without Muslim immigrants. It will depopulate itself and become prey to immigrants anyway...or it will be a thinly populated and poor region on the level of Africa. People represent riches. European peoples need to reproduce.

No, it was Houari Boumédienne in a 1974 UN speech.

"One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends.

Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory."

Iran in particular. Do not forget that - since the Young Turks' movement - the goal of Turkish nationalism, apart from expansion in the Balkans, has been "Turan" and pan-Turanism, which clearly goes against Iranian ambitions in this region.
Europe should also help the newly created states, Kurdistan and the Kabyle state, in order to strengthen them against possible imperialist views.
It is not Europe's task to shift borders elsewhere, this has be done before - Treaty of Versailles etc. Supportings Iranian Shia imperialism over Turkey's pan-Turan imperialism does not make sense.

Like I read in some Spanish newspaper, "it has not gone unnoticed by a United States keen on consolidating its world domination that Turkey holds the key to the Balkans, the Middle East and Central Asia".

France always played a much more significant role with the destruction of Europe and here values than the USA ever could. There was significant negrification to be found in France long before race-mixing and liberalism occured in USA and brought that via occupation to Europe. USA can be blamed for much, but EU immigration policy is domestic European policy - caused by European politicans following the freemasonic ideals of the French revolution!

Also, Syria being the least powerful of these Nations, it would perhaps be desirable to support projects of a "Greater Syria", including Lebanon, Palestina and Jordania.

Again, it's their lands, not ours. Neither Europe nor USA should usrp to play the role of a balancer or something like that. The only counterwights existing in these area will be Sunni Muslims vs Shia Muslims, and not single states.

Erm...Europe never had a status of world power. It were single European imperialistic states having had this status. Where was France's support when the Osman empire attcked Vienna in 1683? Again, France's and Germny's policy, not to mention GB's always has been much more devaststing than any US policy.

Of course. Iran's nuclear power is primarily meant as a Muslim counterweight to Israeli nuclear power, not directed against Europe. Contrarily to what many people think Iranian leadership is not a bunch of shiist fanatics. Most of them, including Ahmadinejad himself, are smart politicians and Iran has a clear geopolitical strategy.

But Algeria's nuclear power would be meant as a threat against France (and Morocco). There is a strong anti-French feeling in Algeria. For instance it is well-known that Algerian islamists are lobbying in the international islamist network for actions against France to be taken. These same islamists who were about to overcome Algerian governement some years ago. And could do it in the next years. If anti-French fanatics come to be in possession of nuclear weapons, with the possibility to wipe all Southern French cities off the map, what do you think they will do ? Play poker ?

"One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory."
Which parts of this statement don't you understand ?
On the other hand, please, show me one comment of Ahmadinejad or any important current Iranian leader (some mullah of Bandah-e-Busher or Gonbad-e-Kavus is not considered as an important Iranian leader) saying that they want to invade or nuke Europe. I am interested.

It is true. But it is also true that under the motto "Divide and conquer" the Anglo-Saxons have always tried to create or to increase animosities between the French and the Germans, France and Germany being the two pillars of Western Europe. They knew very well what a Franco-German alliance, or rather an united continental Europe with Russia, would have meant, and they still know it. We can still see it through Anglo-Saxon foreign policies.

Iran's geopolitical strategy is not based on creating a counterpart to Israel alone. It is directed in creating the so-called Shia Crescent too, in reaction to the more and more violent Sunni Islam.

These same islamists who were about to overcome Algerian governement some years ago. And could do it in the next years. If anti-French fanatics come to be in possession of nuclear weapons, with the possibility to wipe all Southern French cities off the map, what do you think they will do ? Play poker ?
"One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory."
Which parts of this statement don't you understand ?

The question is which part did you not understand? Islam is not a card in your poker deck, it is an independent operating force. Arabs are Arabs and behave like Arabs – show them you are willing to punish them hard for threatening you, show a point-blank sabre, give them no chance for backstabbing, and they are friendly and cooperative.
It is interesting you repeatedly talk about „Islamists“. This term was invented by multiculturalist dreamers that want to show Islam is the religion of peace and „Islamists“ are just a violent minority – having nothing to do with peaceful Islam.

You sounded like you would support any sorts of anti-Turkish etc. movements...
The main problem is neither to be found in Algier, Ankara nor in Tel Aviv, our main problem is directly located in Paris, Berlin, Brussels etc.pp. Always looking for foreign reasons for our mess is paranoid. Let's clean up out mess at home.
Winning the hearts and minds of our own people, that's th only way for our survival.

There already is a revanchist feeling.
