I've often wondered why so many people

think that it's so perfectly natural that Arabs would possess and rule over the entirety - 100% and nothing less - of the Middle East. Of course any reasonable person would acknowledge that Arabs are the majority in the region, but they're far from being the only people to have lived there throughout history. Is already having 22 (23?) countries not enough for the imperialistic desires of Arab civilization? Is there not even room for one tiny slice of a nation for a minority of non-Arabs? It's amazing to hear all the bitching about the trampled rights of the poor Palestinians when you consider how ethnic and religious minorities have been treated in Arab countries.
