difference here in the UK they are very much looked down upon. While in the Middle East look at Hamas, Fateh, Hizballah, the jokers in Iraq they are unfortunately and embarrassingly celebrated.

You may wish to say so but another question raises itself is what if we get movements similar to BNP and BNF in principles in the Middle East, how would you expect people to react to them? HAMAS, FATAH and HIZBOLLAH are fighting over power and authority but do you really think they are fighting the demography of their own countries. For example imagine we get movements with names such as ENP (Egyptian National Party) calling for dominance of Pharoaic Egyptians for instance (there is no such party but just for the sake of argument)or may be Jordanian National Party (again does not exist) or Syrian National Party (again does not exist), what good or what bad would they bring upon? Hope you have an answer for these questions.

dont we see that in iraq now? Shia killing Sunni and Sunni killing Shia. Fateh is a nationalist party. Do you mean 'nationalist' as racist or supremacist? Obviously it will be sectarian rather than racial as societies in the MidEast are largely homogeneous. I mean we are not multicultural there are no races there as such.

You have made a very important point. What is going on in Iraq is a very great example of what I meant as they are trying to create states of one colour. Yet in addition to the sectarian killings there is another trend that can be noticed. First many of the Shiites in Iraq call others ARABS and at the same time many Sunnis call the other side terms like SAFAWIS and PERSIANS and both sides say that the other must be nuked i.e. look for a nation with a 'pure'race or sect. The reason why I brought up this blog is that if such thing, god forbids, works well, then it may affect other countries. I slightly disagree with you that societies in the MidEast are homogenous as there are groups (thank god in micro numbers)that called for supremacy of a group over others. If what you say about Iraq, god forbids, goes beyond the Iraqi border, then no one knows the consequences but god. Thanks for you contribution.
