B.t.w., on a more useless note, i've been playing with some possible acronyms for the past hour, without success, my favorite for now is « I(ran) B(razil)E(thiopia)A(rgentina)R(ussia) E(gypt)C(hina)E(mirates)S(audi arabia)I(ndia)S(outh africa) ».
An ecesis being the successful establishment of a plant/animal in a habitat that was barren previously.

Here's some failed attempts :

  • scareee ibis
  • see, ibis care
  • erase ibices
  • i see bear, sic!
  • icee braises
  • ricee biases
  • baeee! Crisis!
  • raise, EECbis
  • And i'll spare you even worse ones

Yeah, i'm not sure that they'll be called by their acronym anymore, but who cares right ? They've made an alliance with the Middle-East, now include the two largest countries in South America, and even set a second foot in Africa with the ultra-famous Ethiopia(, one of the first christian countries, a communist history, one of the few never colonized, etc.) ! Well worth more than a single toast.
The world doesn't have to be divided, it's the west who refuses to live with such differences as socialism, islamism, or whatever survived the colonization, if this alliance enables diversity( in unity) then that's a good thing.

Are you making an allusion to the destruction of ancient buildings around Mecca ?
Or is it that you may want to have a discussion on wahabbism and/or salafism, and how it's not muslim enough for you ? I undoubtedly have much to learn about everything, so i'd very much like to have an exchange if you're interested and know things about it.
In my point of view, we're praising the same God, the only being that could possibly be 'worthy of'/'defined under'/defining the highest possible title. And theocracies are disappearing, i won't give up on them as long as they don't give up on our God. Some things are too important to be held back by details on religion, or politicial, or socio-economic structures, they're wearing my colors and i'm wearing theirs as far as i'm concerned.

I'm not talking about buildings, I'm talking about their far-right domestic policies (particularly when compared to some other Muslim countries like Iran), and their actions in Yemen
