Iranians will rather die than see Iran being swallowed into the darkness of the islamic Ummah. We shall be the barrier hindering the Indonesia islamists and Morocco islamists apart!

What are you saying? Iran is run by another breed of Islamist, but it is a self declared Sharia state. They exemplify all of the attributes that are causing the peoples of the world to want to destroy all traces of Islam from their midst. Whereas the Moroccan Islamists and the Indonesian Islamists are subject to arrest, torture and execution, the Iranian Islamists rule the country.

You are so right about that. Egypt & Syria, both Arab states, were temporarily unified from 1959-1961, but it didn't work out. Bangladesh and Pakistan couldn't stay unified either.

I couldn't imagine trying to unify Indonesia, with Iran, and Saudi Arabia, and Chad and Albania. They are just too different. It wouldn't last.

The Ottoman Empire lasted quite a while

Yes, and many Arabs fought against the Ottomans during the first World War. It was inherently unstable, because it wasn't an equal and voluntary partnership of its peoples.

Right, which nation would enjoy to be ruled by other countries?

Exactly, right. It is just human nature.

Look at Canada. They bend over backwards to have the entire country bilingual because one province speaks French and still a sizable minority in Quebec want independence.
