1. Colonialismo Occidental y sus Consecuencias.
El colonialismo occidental es frecuentemente criticado por su impacto destructivo en las culturas y economías de las regiones colonizadas, especialmente en el Medio Oriente y África.
- "all the land in the middle east region was subject to colonialism. Iran, iraq, syria, lebanon, turkey, saudi arabia, the list goes on. They were all decided by shaped by the european colonial powers after they won wwi and ottoman's lost empire.".
- "the middle east is a lesson in how the colonialism led by white european christian hypocrisy and unbridled capitalism has destroyed any chance of democracy or the collective good of ordinary people vs the might of corporations".
- "current middle east conflicts have their roots in european colonialism.".
2. Colonialismo Árabe/Islámico: Un Debate Controvertido.
Existe un debate sobre si la expansión árabe/islámica debe ser considerada como una forma de colonialismo, con algunos argumentando que comparte características con el colonialismo occidental, mientras que otros lo ven como un proceso diferente de expansión imperial.
- "she's right about colonialism, though. Arabs have, for the centuries following their armed conquest of the levant, colonized and oppressed native peoples, forcefully converting them to their culture. Imperialism at its worst. Time for arab colonialism to go. Land back.".
- "you’re taking about islamic colonialism except they pursue the homelands of the indigenous.".
- "arab muslims love to defend their colonialism and slavery, but chastise the west for its history of colonialism and slavery. No brain cells. Both are horrific.".
- "settler-colonialism is literally how arabs went from despised tribal fringe culture to the language and culture of 400 million people across two continents. It's as inseparable from islam as empire is from christianity between rome and abyssinia.".
3. Colonialismo y la Identidad en el Medio Oriente.
El colonialismo ha tenido un impacto profundo en la formación de identidades nacionales y étnicas en el Medio Oriente, a menudo exacerbando tensiones y conflictos existentes.
- "fucker was probably an arab ultra-nationalist too. When will egypt be free from an occupation of a foreign identity? egyptians are not arab. They are egyptian. They have their own unique culture, heritage, and identity. But arab colonialism like european colonialism rots everything.".
- "the "middle east" is a gross colonial construct to lump a multitude of peoples into one easily prejudiced group'".
- "do you know why most people in the west know nothing about the indigenous peoples of the middle east and their ancient cultures ? it’s because fundamentalist arab-islamic colonialism erases them.".
4. El Legado del Colonialismo en los Conflictos Contemporáneos.
Muchos de los conflictos actuales en el Medio Oriente y África son vistos como resultado directo o indirecto de las políticas coloniales y la división arbitraria de territorios.
- "the last scars of colonialism linger in the middle east. Sponsored by america and former allies as a necessary evil. Of course, the displacement serves the zionists and monarchist oil states of the region, as they have corruptly achieved wealth and security through patronage and arms.".
- "the entirety of the arab nations as we know them today are a result of the english-french colonialism and the sykes-picot agreement. Literally, if it was not for the english and french, we would not have as many issues with radical islamism, nor would the "near east" be so politically instable.".
- "the modern view of islam and ara8ic culture as fundamentally “8ackwards” is merely the result of centuries of white supremacy and colonialism enforcing itself on a vast spectrum of people so white people can feel superior".
5. Colonialismo y Recursos Naturales.
La explotación de recursos naturales, especialmente el petróleo, es un tema recurrente en la discusión sobre el colonialismo en el Medio Oriente, con acusaciones de que las potencias occidentales continúan ejerciendo control a través de la manipulación política y económica.
- "it always starts with colonialism, whether direct or indirect. In the middle east, that means replacing political leaders who want to use oil revenues for the benefit of the people of the nation that owns the oil.".
- "equating medieval islamic governance with modern settler colonialism is a false equivalence that oversimplifies a complex and historically rich period of shared life in the region & continues the racist/western colonial agenda".
- "meddling and exploiting the middle east in the rush for oil by us ,russia and uk was the curse after world wars. Colonialism imposing on independent nations drawing lines in the sand creating the underlying problems for today!".
