How to attract more members from Arab nations ?

[Full Moon]

We need better Iranian and Israeli trolls.

I'm saying the truth.

That should do it.

 

[Hashshāshīn]

There should be more (sensible) Israeli members here too, and central Asian members. There are too many Indians, though.

With the amount of anti Israeli and anti Jewish posts and threads - I am afraid that PDF might get declared to be an anti Semitic site (whatever that is).

That medal has been given to us already, no one gives a single hoot!

[American Pakistani]

I wanna see PDF becoming universal.

Hopefully PDF team will attract Arab, African, Irani, Central Asian, Turkic, East Asian, Latino & American members.

 

[Mugwop]

I'll try to get some of them here.

Anti Israeli is not equal to anti Jewish. To defend Israel, dont create this mischievous slant.

What Israel has done in Gaza recently, do you think we should sing songs of praise for their inhumanity?

The Turks and Pakistanis can generally communicate in English well and we love defence related stuff. Thats why theres a lot of us here.

Arabs in Western nations are too scared thinking they'll be arrested for anything they say. Most of them don't like getting into politics. The ones that do, are western mainstream types. You can find these Lebanese Arabs on right wing military forums. Since after the Syrian crisis, they found new friends.

Arabs overseas are fed too much politics which is discussed more than needed in normal day to day conversations and news programs.

Arab westerners also can't deal with too much pressure and have their feelings hurt. They believe whatever they do or say will go to waste.

I personally would like to see more Palestinians, Iraqi's, Syrians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Algerians, etc...

The gulf Arabs seem to be more active.

HOW do we get them here. Are there any other places where we can reach out to them?

It really isn't your fault that Arab members don't have much interest in military affairs. Their militaries are generally serving to the state and to protect the power rather than serve the population. There is a lack of pride. There also isn't any interesting military news coming out from the Arab world. We only hear of billion dollar defense deals once in a while in nations that have no significance or don't make use of their potential significance.

Best thing would be for Arab members here to try to initiate discussions here. Problem is, one portions dislikes the other. They get too tangled up in politics. So if I made a thread and called on Saudi members to discuss military strategies against Israel. Improvements Hamas can make. Most won't cooperate because they can't picture a scenario and also their state policy is anti-MB.

Most Egyptians will react in the same way. Iraqi's are mostly shia here so they won't get along with Saudi/Gulf members. There is a deep hatred between Saudi-Shia people in general. It's harder than you think.

I will try making catchy threads in this section in the near future in hope it will attract more Arab members. The Arabs interested are more pan-Arab mentality who don't realize that era is over by now.

Literally all Arabs are involved in right now is infighting everywhere even if minor or only causing massive damage/loss of life to one side. Even Hezbollah has been involved in it lately. Except the Palestinians.

None of them care about strategy, they could care less about achieving any objectives. Unless they are persecuted or under occupation. Which is why I'm very into strategizing in the Arab world. But, when every leader and population around you doesn't take the world seriously you lose all hope.
