That's all ancient history by todays standards and has nothing to due with the current events happening now. ..Early in the last century the European powers destroyed the Islamic Caliphate and divided the land between themselves by drawing up artificial borders.
The muslim people have had a longing for the restoration of the Caliphate for a hundred years.
Now the dream is being revived right in the heart of the Middle East. ...
Not a pretty picture if you consider the armenian genocide or the brutality of the the brutality of Mehmed II.
STUFF THAT HAS GONE ON IN THE PAST 100 YEARS IS NOT "ancient" HISTORY----
IT IS MODERN HISTORY.
