The fact is, even though we fought for independence back then, the way the world is now dictates that we should probably stop thinking about ourselves as 'Americans', 'Brits', etc.... And we should start thinking about ways we are similar... Eg.. we are western nations... Independent in rule but very much from the same barrel..
Us, England, France, Germany, Australia, and a few select other European nations are all Western nations... We have similar governments, customs, traditions, etc...
Even our languages are derived from a common tongue! Our core languages are, English, French, and German... German, is derived from High Germanic, as was Olde English when Germans moved into England and begat the Anglo-Saxons... And Olde English is the basis for modern English, no matter what version of it you speak... French is a blend of German, Latin, and later Anglo Olde English...
Our religions are all basically derived from either Rome, old Norse traditions, Egyptian mythology, or the Byzantine Empire... EG.. Christian with unique blends of the 12 Norse gods, the 12 original Roman pantheon, The 12 Original Egyptian pantheon, all of whom are the same people just with different names and such. Even our Christian tradition of Jesus Christ is not much more than the re-telling of the Horus/Osiris myth...
Islamic states are all independently governed, but show a lot more solidarity than does the west... They understand that even though Egypt, and Syria are governed by different bodies, and they have slightly different political views, they are all part of a greater Islamic society...
We are hard pressed to find any solidarity on our side...
Yes, the French piss me off... But so do people from Mass... But I'd be damned if I'm gonna let someone, Even Germany, invade them!
I think the English are too liberal to be considered Capitalists, or even a democracy in some sense, but Muslim riots on the streets PISS ME THE **** OFF!
And the Australians are assholes! But they are OUR ASSHOLES! Death to anyone who tries to **** with them!
It's wonderful that we can sit here and pick apart other western nations... I guess that's just another thing about Western culture that Islam will never understand. But a little solidarity would benefit us ALL nowadays...
