Reader comment on item: Turkish-Iranian Rivalry on the Rise
Submitted by Dick McPherson (Canada), Aug 8, 2011 at 17:37
"...before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother;me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel."
Leon Uris: The Haj
(Could be applied to all Muslims)
