Hatred between Turks and Arabs?

[Robocop]

Many people are not awared the fact that (in general) Turks and Arabs do not like each others. I found this when I was traveling Germany 10 years ago.

I was eating in one Turkish restaurant in Munich, so I was talking nicely with boss of the restaurant, he was stunned that I thought that Turks are friends to Arabs, he was SHOCKED LOL.

I asked him how come do you dislike each others?

He said to me it goes deep into history.

THEN I DO MY RESEARCH ABOUT THIS when I came back to Croatia, I wrote a seminar about this on my University of History, and I suggested one theory and idea to my professor why Arabs hated and hate Turks, in general, my professor was (I have to say) shocked in positive way, because he never thought of this in this way, so my theory is this (and this are facts):


1. To Ottoman Empire it was always Empire primary thing and Islam was secondary thing.

2. Ottomans used Islamization in same fashion as Roman Empire used ROMANIZATION, means; they used it to make BETTER CITIZENS of Empire. Now this doesn't mean Ottomans didn't care for Islam, they cared very much, but you get the point.

3. Ottomans could used Islamization on non-muslim population very well to make better citizens of Empire, but they couldn't used it on Arabs for obvious reason , Arabs were muslims long before Turks.

4. So what happened? Turks were killing Arabs like flies in Ottoman Empire whenever they would notice some rebellion, so it's not wonder Arabs joined English and French AGAINST Ottoman Empire in World War 1.

In general it's more turks who hate arabs, it's most of the time not reciprocal many arabs are neutral or admire Turks/turkey

I feel like the hate is not as much as compared to Arab vs. Persians

Well hate between Persians (primary Iran) and Arabs rest in Sunni vs Shia...

But Im talking here about something totally different, the fact that Turks were killing Arabs like flies durin Ottoman Empire.

Paradox is that Ottomans were even more friendly toward Christians in their Empire than to Arabs. IN GENERAL.

Generally some Turkish people hate arabs because of some Arabs betrayed us in WW1 (this is disappoinment for Turks) and saudis act like dog of america

But if you ask to me i dont have problem with arabs just i dont like saudis because of their acts also i think saudis hate Turks too much

This is not true. Only in the late period with the rise of Nationalism did Ottomans start to view Arabs suspiciously.

In the early and middle period, Arabs were viewed positively, as fellow muslims. Ottomans trusted Arabs (and Persians) more than Turks when it comes to arts and knowledge, but didn't trust Arabs when it comes to administration for obvious reasons.

Current hatred between Turks and Arabs mostly come from Turkish side, and it's a very recent thing due to Refugee crisis and Arab migration. I don't remember anyone hating Arabs when i was a kid. Turkish and Arab diaspora may have their own reasons to dislike each other.

Well, their small eyes and flat noses really seemed to trigger the Arabs. It was even in the Hadiths.

Abu Huraira reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people wearing shoes of hair and the Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people having small eyes and broad snub noses.

Abu Huraira reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: The Last Hour would not come unless you fight with people whose faces are like hammered shields and the Last Hour would not come until you would fight against those wearing the shoes of hair.

I learned that this anti-arabism really started with the young turks movement after arabs started to turn their back on the ottoman empire

Its true that they wanted to become independent and yes Ottomans stopped every rebellion hardly but they didn’t kill Arabs like „flies“.
