Why does Western powers, specially the United Kingdom and the United States, always support the Muslim side in civil wars between Christians and Islamists?
>civil war in Nigeria between Christian Igbos and a Muslim-dominated military junta >the West supports the Muslims
>war in the Caucasus between Christian Armenians and Muslim Azeris >the West support Azeris
>war in the Balkans between Christian Serbs and Muslim Albanians and Bosniaks >the West supports Albanians and Bosniaks
>civil war in Ivory Coast between supporters of Christian politician Laurent Gbabo and Muslim politiciann Alassane Ouattara >the West supports Ouattara
>civil war in Syria between a dictator that defend Christians and moderate rebels who want to slaughter them >the West support the rebels
It's too consistent to be a coincidence.
Adam Hernandez
Pragmatism over ideology, same reason Austria defender of the faith allied with Protestant GB >west unilaterally supported the Muslims in the balkans You do realise it was a proxy war between the president and the papacy right
Asher Torres
would you back the losing horse?
Carter Martinez
Actually, that's exactly what the West does. It backs losing horses and put down competent peoples like the Igbos and Tutsis so Third World countries stay always shitholes whose only export are refugees.
Matthew Watson
These entities are fully controlled by Jews, then don't give a slightest shit to Christians
Easton Ward
Israel supported Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War, though.
It seems like secular Jews in the West hate Christians more than religious Jews in Israel.

Russia has the highest percentage of Muslims of any country in Europe and Putin has said Orthodoxy is closer to Islam than Catholicism
Connor Harris
Being Saudi bitch probably.

The state department is bribed to hell and back by people from the gulf states. The average guy in the consulate corps making $90k a year yearns to work in the gulf states because they're treated like royalty out there.
Brayden Diaz
That's because Russians conquered the steppe hordes who'd converted to Islam earlier, and have consistently attempted to convert them when they didn't need good relations against other steppe hordes.
Clearly what he meant by that was that Orthodoxy and Islam share respect for tradition (Wahabbis and Nikon aside) and are less willing to compromise in the face of secularism than Catholicism. Furthermore their priests can marry and have children, they produce tougher people, and appreciate mysticism (Sufis and Hesychasm).

>civil war in Nigeria between Christian Igbos and a Muslim-dominated military junta
This wasn’t the West, this was the UK supporting Nigeria because it was larger and the Brits figured they’d have more economic opportunities in a larger unified nation.
>war in the Caucasus between Christian Armenians and Muslim Azeris
The West wasn’t involved in this in any way, outside of Armenians living in the West helping out their relations in the old country.
>war in the Balkans between Christian Serbs and Muslim Albanians and Bosniaks
The Serbs were megalomaniacal assholes and if they hadn’t been such dicks about it, the West would have probably redrawn the borders in their (and the Croats) favor.
>civil war in Ivory Coast between supporters of Christian politician Laurent Gbabo and Muslim politiciann Alassane Ouattara
One Black dictator of a shitty African micro state is the same as the next.
>civil war in Syria between a dictator that defend Christians and moderate rebels who want to slaughter them
This is all about insuring Israel’s security but keeping the Muslim world in a perpetual civil war (i.e. it’s the Jews fault).

>whose only exports are valuable minerals, cheap manufactured goods, and oil for exploitatively low prices Fixed that for you.
Jose Baker
Also, Catholicism has the Pope, while Orthodoxy and Islam lack a supreme ruler (save God and Allah) and make change by a consensus of the learned (synods and schools of jurisprudence).
Certainly Orthodoxy has had its share of autocrats (Nikon, Leo III the Isaurian), and the Patriarchs have a lot of authority, but it hasn't had a chain of them.

Literally none of these fall within the 25 year rule except Biafra, kindly fuck off.

Lol you are so fucking off it's not even funny. What makes Tutsis and Igbos any special?
Aaron Ortiz
You're a rebel group, we were once rebels for our future homeland.
Also if Biafra did become a state ISrael gets free shit from Biafra and deals because Israel funded them just like other nations who did. Israelis did it for their bottom line, not out of sympathy for Igbos who they give no fucks about.
