subtlety was never an arab/persian forte
Haha, so true :D

It's unrealistic to expect otherwise. We have certain points of reference in the West that are never disputed, like Greek philosophy, or the French revolution. But those are... concessions. We've made peace with them. But on the whole the people from any country would love to be told that their compatriots are the most acclaimed people of all.
We just expected you guys to be a lot less biased in teaching history, how naive of us :D

It's not a history module, the module is called Religion & Politics in the middle east. I am also doing a history module called The Middle East in the twentieth century, which is really interesting, i am writing an essay on the decline of the ottoman empire.

The seminar we had after the lecture was nuts, everyone was shouting at eachother. What do you think, is Iran an democracy?



I wish i did International Politics & Military History as opposed to film, i would be doing the same kinds of modules but more of them.

Interesting topic. If you don't mind, could you send it to me after you're done?

Would love to read an outside perspective on the ottoman empire.

Its a fairly short essay (2000 words) and im doing it for the 22nd, i am arguing 4 main points - Young Turks, World War 1, The Arab revolt led by Hussein and out of date politics/over sized empire against its enemies. Does that fit into your ideal or not? I havent studied the Ottomans in depth before this.
