"Rageh Omaar, who has reported from across this former empire, sets out to discover why the Ottomans have vanished from our understanding of the history of Europe. Why so few realise the importance of Ottoman history in today's Middle East. And why you have to know the Ottoman story to understand the roots of many of today's trouble spots from Palestine, Iraq and Israel to Libya, Syria, Egypt, Bosnia and Kosovo."- published: 12 Dec 2013

The Final Destruction Of The Ottoman Empire
The Final Destruction Of The Ottoman Empire
The Partitioning of the Ottoman Empire (30 October 1918 -- 1 November 1922) was a political event that occurred after World War I. The huge conglomeration of territories and peoples that formerly comprised the Ottoman Empire was divided into several new nations. The partitioning brought the creation of the modern Arab world and the Republic of Turkey. The League of Nations granted France mandates over Syria and Lebanon and granted the United Kingdom mandates over Mesopotamia and Palestine (which was later divided into two regions: Palestine and Transjordan). The Ottoman Empire's possessions on the Arabian Peninsula became the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Sultanate of Nejd (today Saudi Arabia), the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen, and the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. After the occupation of Constantinople by British and French troops in November 1918, the Ottoman government collapsed completely and signed the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920. However, the Turkish War of Independence forced the former Allies to return to the negotiating table before the treaty could be ratified. The Allies and the Grand National Assembly of Turkey signed and ratified the new Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, superseding the Treaty of Sèvres and solidifying most of the territorial issues. One unresolved issue was later negotiated under the League of Nations in 1926. The British and French partitioned the eastern part of the Middle East (also called "Greater Syria") between them with the Sykes-Picot Agreement. Other secret agreements were concluded with Italy and Russia (see map). The Balfour Declaration encouraged the international Zionist movement to push for a Jewish homeland in the Palestine region, which was the site of the ancient Kingdom of Israel and at the time had a significant Jewish minority population with respect to a majority of Arab--Muslim population. The tsarist regime also had wartime agreements with the Triple Entente on the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire but after the Russian Revolutions, Russia did not participate in the actual partitioning. The Treaty of Sèvres formally acknowledged the new League of Nations mandates in the Middle East, the independence of Yemen, and British sovereignty over Cyprus. The Ottoman Empire had been the leading Islamic state in geopolitical, cultural and ideological terms. The partitioning of the Ottoman Empire led to the rise in the "Middle East" of Western powers, such as Britain and France. Resistance to the influence of these powers came from the Turkish national movement and became more widespread in the post-Ottoman Middle East after World War II. The Western powers had long believed that they would eventually become dominant in the area claimed by the weak central government of the Ottoman Empire. Britain anticipated a need to secure the area because of its strategic position on the route to Colonial India, and perceived itself as locked in a struggle for imperial influence known as The Great Game. As world war loomed, the Ottomans sought protection from the Great Powers. They were rejected by Britain, France, and Russia, and finally formed an alliance with Germany The partitioning was planned by Western powers in several agreements made by the "Allies" early in the course of World War I. These powers disagreed over their contradictory post-war aims and made several dual and triple agreements. Syria and Lebanon became a French protectorate (thinly disguised as a League of Nations Mandate). French control was met immediately with armed resistance, and, in order to combat Arab nationalism, France divided its Mandate into Lebanon and four sub-states. Greater Lebanon was the name of a territory created by France. It was the precursor of modern Lebanon. It existed between 1 September 1920 and 23 May 1926. France carved its territory from the Levantine land mass (mandated by the League of Nations) in order to create a "safe haven" for the Maronite Christian population. Maronites gained self-rule and secured their position in the independent Lebanon in 1943. French intervention on behalf of the Maronites had begun with the capitulations of the Ottoman Empire, agreements made during the 16th to the 19th centuries. In 1866, when Youssef Karam led a Maronite uprising in Mount Lebanon, a French-led naval force arrived to help, making threats against the governor, Dawood Pasha, at the Sultan's Porte and later removing Karam to safety. The British were awarded three mandated territories, with one of Sheriff Hussein's sons, Faisal, installed as King of Iraq and Transjordan providing a throne for another of Hussein's sons, Abdullah. Mandatory Palestine was placed under direct British administration, and the Jewish population was allowed to increase, initially under British protection. Most of the Arabian peninsula fell to another British ally, Ibn Saud, who created the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.- published: 17 Jan 2014

The Battle Of Chaldiran - Ottoman Sunni Supremacy Over Persian Shia
The Battle Of Chaldiran - Ottoman Sunni Supremacy Over Persian Shia
The Battle of Chaldiran or Chaldoran (Persian: چالدران; Turkish: Çaldıran) occurred on 23 August 1514 and ended with a victory for the Ottoman Empire over the Safavid Empire. As a result, the Ottomans gained immediate and permanent control over far eastern Anatolia and northern Iraq, as well as temporary control of northwestern Iran. The battle, however, was just the beginning of 41 years of destructive war between the two empires that only ended in 1555 with the Treaty of Amasya. The Ottomans generally had the upper hand, but the Persians for the most part held their ground. Safavid losses in Shia-dominated metropolitan regions of Persia, such as Luristan and Kermanshah, proved temporary, being eventually recovered from the Ottomans, but important Persian cities such as Tabriz were often the target of destructive Ottoman raids. An exception was Azerbaijan, which- though eventually taken back from the Ottomans, would later be permanently lost to the Russian Empire. Iraq, as well as far eastern Anatolia, would also be forever taken from traditional Iranian suzerainty. At Chaldiran, the Ottomans had a larger, better equipped army numbering 60,000 to 200,000, while the Qizilbash Turcomans numbered some 40,000 to 80,000. Shah Ismail I, who was wounded and almost captured in the battle, retired to his palace and withdrew from government administration after his wives were captured by Selim I, with at least one married off to one of Selim's statesmen. The battle is one of major historical importance because it not only negated the idea that the Murshid of the Shia-Qizilbash was infallible, but it also fully defined the Ottoman-Safavid borders with the Ottomans gaining northwestern Iran, and led Kurdish chiefs to assert their authority and switch their allegiance from the Safavids to the Ottomans. After Selim I's successful struggle against his brothers for the throne of the Ottoman Empire, he was free to turn his attention to the internal unrest he believed was stirred up by the Shia Qizilbash, who had sided with other members of the Dynasty against him and had been semi-officially supported by Bayezid II. Selim now feared that they would incite the population against his rule in favor of Shah Isma'il leader of the Shia Safavids, and by some of his supporters believed to be family of the Prophet. Selim secured a jurist opinion that described Isma'il and the Qizilbash as "unbelievers and heretics" enabling him to undertake extreme measures on his way eastward to pacify the country. In response, Shah Isma'il accused Sultan Selim of aggression against fellow Muslims, violating religious sexual rules and shedding innocent blood. When Selim started his march east, the Safavids were invaded in the east by the Uzbek state recently brought to prominence by Abu 'I-Fath Muhammad, who had fallen in battle against Isma'il only a few years before. To avoid the prospect of fighting a war on two fronts, Isma'il employed a scorched earth policy against Selim in the west. The terrain of eastern Anatolia and the Caucuses is extremely rough and combined with the difficulty in supplying the army in light of Isma'il's scorched earth campaign while marching against Muslims, Selim's army was discontented. The Janissaries even fired their muskets at the Sultan's tent in protest at one point. When Selim learned of the Safavid army forming at Chaldiran, he quickly moved to engage Isma'il in part to stifle the discontent of his army. The Ottomans deployed heavy artillery and thousands of Janissaries equipped with gunpowder weapons behind a barrier of carts. The Safavids used cavalry to engage the Ottoman forces. The Safavids attacked the Ottoman wings in an effort to avoid the Ottoman artillery positioned at the center. However, the Ottoman artillery was highly maneuverable and the Safavids suffered disastrous losses. The advanced Ottoman weaponry was the deciding factor of the battle as the Safavid forces, who only had traditional weaponry, were decimated. The Safavids also suffered from poor planning and ill-disciplined troops unlike the Ottomans.- published: 25 Jan 2014

Yes, I'm saying that it's all lies
http://gagnauga.is/index.php?Fl=Greinar&ID;=169
01.09.2011
Yes. You heard what I said. All of it. It's all a bunch of lies. I know that it is a shocking claim to many, that our trusted officials in concert with our reliable mass media actually participated in deliberate deception designed to get us to accept war, but deal with it. I'm making it.
Our biggest moral obligation is ensuring that wars are not waged against people under false pretenses. War is the most disgusting and horrible thing you can inflict on any person.
As you read this article I am sure you will find there are a number of things that will surprise you. After researching the situation for months I assure you I have investigated as many sides of the story as possible. But I did reach a clear conclusion and I will not shy away from openly expressing the views that I have formed during this process.
What we have been seeing recently in the media, this time with a special emphasis on the online community, is the most sophisticated propaganda firework display we have ever witnessed. It’s no surprise so many people have been duped.
But a lie can travel the world before the truth has tied it’s shoe laces. But I believe that once the laces have been tied and the truth starts walking, eventually it’s gonna get to people.
There are at least two sides to every story
None of us could possibly have avoided hearing NATO’s side of the story and the reasons and justifications given for Gaddafi’s removal and how military intervention is necessary to protect Libyan citizens.
But are you sure you’ve heard both sides? Have you heard Gaddafi’s perspective on this issue? Or have you just heard “his side” as represented by the mainstream western media? If so I can start by telling you that his words, and the words of his son, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi have been deliberately misinterpreted and edited out of context to create simple soundbite propaganda to influence people.
You will find that there is a completely different side of this story that is being completely ignored. It is not even being debated for it's merits, it simply is not talked about at all in the mainstream media.
Think about it. How much do you really know about Libya? Did you in all honesty know anything about the country before these events started unfolding? If I would have asked you back in February 10 questions about Libya and it’s affairs, how many do you think you would have answered correctly? And how much do you honestly know about what is going on there now?
I often find it intriguing how people tend to think they are qualified to give their view on things that in reality they know next to nothing about. They might have vague ideas generated by the mainstream media, biased textbooks and general pre-conceived notions, but not an actual thorough understanding of the country and it’s people and customs.
I had a discussion with a guy at a local bar the other day and I began the conversation by asking if he could tell me on what continent Libya was. Neither he nor his friend could answer correctly, picking Europe and Asia as their educated guesses. For some reason this guy still felt that his take on the situation was more accurate than mine, even as I told him I had been spending weeks investigating the matter. For those of you confused the correct answer is Africa.
I want to ask a simple question to make a simple case? Can you name me one current Libyan government official? You’re not allowed to say Gaddafi. Who holds the position of “Secretary of the General People’s Assembly” a position comparable to that of prime minister, although with a slightly different emphasis as he does not represent a political party and does not alone hold significant power. Did you even know that such a position exists in Libya and that he is elected by the people?
The less you know about something, the easier it is to deceive you.
My intention for exposing your potential and likely ignorance on this subject is not an attempt to show that I’m smarter or better than you. As I found out myself researching this article I knew remarkably little about Libya. And that is my point.
The mainstream media is focusing entirely on a set of news stories that have the specific intention of gathering support for military action and actively suppressing any story that would lead to people opposing it. This pattern will be exposed clearly as this article progresses.
It’s no wonder we don’t know much about Libya. Of course it gets confusing with all the different stories we hear of dictators and tyrants oversees. It is difficult to be an expert on all nations in the world. Just consider how many nations have existed and how long and rich each of their history is and how complex and

Inhedam e Jannat ul Baqi - Documentry - Urdu
It is a documentary about Destruction of Baqi, Aal e Saud and the West. It is in Urdu with English subtitles. This is an analysis of the political scenario of Hijaz. It discusses how the Aal e Saud captured the throne. The British sought help from two tribes one Saud from Najd, and the other, family of Sharif Husain of Macca. The well-known spy T.E.Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia was in charge of the Sharif Husain’s family, and Captain William for Alsaud. Because they did not want to fight within Mecca and Medina with the muslims as this could ignite the flames of hatred in the Indian sub-continent and in all of the Muslim world. Al-saud belonged to Najd in Hijaz and were trying to capture the throne of Hijaz for the last 225 years. In 1790, they occupied Makkah Medina and Taif. In 1801, Abdul Aziz Alsaud attacked Karbala and Najaf in Iraq. 15000 were martyred in Karbala and 5000 to 15000 in Najaf by AlSaud. Besides they looted many valuables from both the cities. AlSaud also banned Haj for one year for the muslims from the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Mehmood-II sent an army under the command of Ibrahim Pasha in 1818 A.D who destroyed Darayya which was the capital of wahabi looters. The final shutdown of the Ottoman empire was in 1918 with the help of these two tribes. Sharif Hussain was exiled in Cyprus and his four sons were given the rulerships of Iraq, Syria and Jordan.

Masjid Al-Nabawi Rev. 2. Medinah, Saudi Arabia, 12-11-10 - YouTube
Uploaded to Vimeo September 3, 20012
Islam is the fastest growing religion and consequently this religion has largest followers on this planet. At this date the Muslim population is about 2.1 billion human beings.
The video and chant calling the Muslim faithful to prayer are quite different from what Westerners and non Muslims usually are used to or watch and hear on YouTube. Please keep an open mind as you watch this video and do not believe all what negative things we are being bombarded with by the Media , Governments and the Zionist detractors and their supporters about the Muslim Religion. Muslims are human beings just like we are and have an amazing history.
I hope that you will like the YouTube "Video" which I created of the Masjid Al-Nabawi, (The Prophet Mohammad's Mosque and Tomb) in Medinah, Saudi Arabia.
I would especially like the poor and the sick Muslims, men, women and children in many parts of the worlds who cannot make the pilgrimage to Medinah and Mecca and the Palestinian Muslims, whose lands are occupied by Zionist Israel and who are not allowed by the Israeli's to travel or if they do so they are usually not allowed to return to their ancestral homes, to somehow be able to view this slideshow “video“ of the beautiful Masjid Al-Nabawi, their Prophets Mosque the second holiest Muslim Mosque, in Medinah, Saudi Arabia.
I want non-Muslims in the World to view this “video “ of the beautiful second holiest Muslim Mosque,The Prophets Mosque in Medinah, Saudi Arabia. Perhaps they will begin to understand a bit better about the greatness of Islam as a religion and its Hajj (Pilgrimage), to Mecca and Medinah, the two Holy Muslim cities in Saudi Arabia and its once great most long lived Arab Muslim Empire from about 638 AD (see further on below). The Third holiest city for Muslim is Jerusalem, Palestine, the city where I was born, with its beautiful Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Golden Dome of the Rock.
Perhaps it may inspire non-Muslims to seek more knowledge about Islam which is an extension of Judaism and Christianity whose ideas and doctrines the Prophet Mohammad adopted freely and which are in the Quoran ( Koran) their Holy Book. Perhaps they will seek more knowledge about Islam and its adherent's amazing history and culture and stop this unwarranted demonizing of Islam especially here in America and England and other parts of Europe. The Muslim religion and the Quoran recognize Christians and Jews as the People of the Book the Torah and the Bible. Muslims do recognize and respect Jesus (Jasuu in Arabic) as a very great Prophet.
I am working on creating a YouTube "Video" of the First Holy City of Islam, Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Mecca is a closed city and only Muslims are allowed to enter it. That bothers some non-Muslim people. I feel that it is their Holy City, their Religion and we must respect their about 1380 year old restriction. I never had a problem with that . When I was in Saudi Arabia I was treated very well and courteously. I was allowed close to the Holy City of Mecca but not allowed to enter it. The Prophet Mohammad is buried in Medinah in the Masjid Al-Nabawi with two other great early Muslim leaders, Abu Bakr (first caliph and the father of Muhammad's wife, Aisha), and of Umar (Umar ibn Al-Khattab), the Second Caliph. The outskirts of Medinah and the Medina Airport, are open to all. Non-Muslims are strictly prohibited from entering Central Medina. Some hotels are for Muslims only. I have no problem with that.
A bit of Muslim history may be in order here.
Islam, the longest lived of any empire, the Arab Empire of Faith, existed for about 857 years after the Prophet Mohammad died in 632 AD in Medina, Arabia. Islam would become the revitalizing force of a barbaric ancient Arabia returning people to God and bringing back the monotheistic message of Christianity and Judaism in its most powerful way. Muslim Women were given rights over their husbands, racism was annihilated and the rich were made equal to the poor.
During its Golden Years to about 1518 AD, for about 856 years the Great Muslim Empire stretched from the African shores of the Atlantic Ocean to China and India, a 200 days journey. While Europe was in the Dark Ages, the Arab Muslim Empire flourished as great works of architecture were built, reading and writing, mathematics, medicine, and astronomy to name a few blossomed. Even before the printing press Muslims would have hundreds of scribes writing all at once so they would learn and reproduce the writings.
The conquering Ottoman Turks adopted Islam shortly after about 1518 AD and ruled for 400 years more as Muslims until 1918. History of Islam http://www.barkati.net/english/,

Bonds of Captivity: Indians and Armenians in the prison camps of Ras al-‘Ain, 1916-18.
In April 1916 a large British-Indian force, under the command of Major-General Charles Townshend surrendered to the Ottoman army at Kut al-Amara in ‘Iraq. Amongst those who went into captivity were some medical auxiliaries from Calcutta: they were young volunteers, of low rank, and they belonged to a hastily-formed unit called the Bengal Ambulance Corps. Along with a number of Hindu and Sikh prisoners-of-war they were made to march to Ras al-‘Ain, in northern Syria, where they were made to work on a rail line. In thisarea there were a number of prison camps, holding thousands of Armenians. They had been transported to this region from cities like Mardin, Diyar Bakir and Erzurum: a great number had been killed and many had died of disease. The Indian and Armenian camps were close to each other and at times the lives of the prisoners became intricately intertwined. Decades later one of the volunteers of the Bengal Ambulance Corps, Sisir Sarbadhikari, would write a memoir of his war years based upon a journal that he had kept during his time in the Middle East. Written in Bengali, the book was privately published, under the title of Abhi Le Baghdad (1958): it attracted little notice and soon vanished into obscurity. This is a recounting of Sisir Sarbadhikari’s narrative of his encounters with Armenians during his years in captivity.
