Hello Erci,
I think you forgot about the Tribal School, or Mektebi-i Asiret.
The school was founded, during the Hamidian era, for the purpose of
training the children of Arabs sheikhs and notables to be good
Ottomans. After completing their studies in the Tribal School,
they were sent to the Military Academy, or Harbiye.
Where these graduates were posted to serve depended on an imperial order, or irade.

Hello again Erci,
If Mustafa Kemal Pasa had called for a "Turkey for Turks," would it
make sense to have other nationalities serve in the Turkish army?
I cannot answer to your question because I don't know anything about the Turkish independence war.
However, according to Wikipedia:
The war followed World War I, and the Treaty of Sevres.
It culminated with the establishment of the modern Turkish Republic,
which was cleansed of minorities through the Greco-Turk population
exchange of 1922, and the dissolution of the 500 year old Ottoman
Empire. It also left the Kurdish question unresolved, as the Kurds were promised an independent state in the Treaty of Sevres, which was not ratified, and the majority of Kurds ended up under Turkish rule.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_War_of_Independence
So it makes sense that minorities and other nationalities were waved at with a farewell kerchief, no?

if you knew the meaning of the Turkish independence war then you would
understand why.Would you rather him to say Turkey for Turks and Arabs
if arabs helped him?That's why we have very good relations with
Pakistan today.I hope this makes sense.it was a war between Greek, British, French and Turkey.
treaty of serves?it was a plan to share Anatolia even the parts where
Turks were majority had been shared between christians. you should read
more about this war.who denied minorities or Kurds?

Erci,
I wasn't even talking about Kurds.
It is worth mentioning that Indian Muslims from Karachi and Lahore
(prior to the separation) were never under Ottoman rule. Many of
them were greatly impressed by Mustafa Kemal Pasa, including Dr.
Mohammed Iqbal, the well-known poet and philosopher. However, Dr.
Iqbal was under the impression that Turkey was going to be a modern
Muslim country, that would re-open the door of Ijtihad, (the process of re-instituting Shariah laws in light of modern thought and experience.)
The re-examination of the role that Islam plays in shaping the
foundation and structure of a modern state was seen as crucial and
necessary, whereas the total exclusion of Islam, and the secularizing
of the state was not thinkable to any Muslim.
What do you think made Muslims of the sub-continent identify with Turks, if not Islam?

Arabs are the 3rd worst warriors in the world. They are just too
peaceful. Thats why they are still being oppressed by invadors.
At one point the Americans were going to attack and ethnic turkish
village in Iraq. Chasing "insurgents" or some such reason. Turkey
decleared that if America attacked that village then Turkey would
withdraw all privilages america has with turkey concerining Iraq (like
trucks driving across the border etc). The americans called off the
attack.
I haven't heard of fighting for turkey in the 20's but it is certainly
very likely. I do know that in Broken Hill, Australia a few of the
paki's that were brought out to run the caravans, launched an
insurrection against the British-Aussie government when britain
attacked turkey. So if Paki's in a majority english land are prepared
to fight for turkey then it is very likely people went across to fight
for turkey in turkey. Also best not to call paki's muslims indians.
Call us subcontinent muslims, or even afghans. In fact muslim indians
are called paki's in places such as england.
Why pakis and turks get one so well is hard to put a finger on.
Certainly historically turkic and muslim mongols are always the good
guys on the subcontinent.

Lol! That's true actually. It seems to be the Indians that get called Paki more, and on AE the Pakis get called Indian.

Also i disagree, kinda. Arabs would do well with some training and an alien concept called "unity" which they realised sometime in the 7th century AD, but somehow it eroded real quick a few centuries later.

Italians would be the 2nd worst, and australian aboriginies the worst.
I think the only person ever to truely unite the arabs was the prophet (pbuh)

that was actually afghans i beleive... the first muslim immigrants to come to australia wer the afghanis and yes it is true that they reacted this way due to the decision of the australian govenrment to go war with the ottomans...
but its ironic that they were actually treated like some sort of heroes even by australians coz of there courage... today they would be seen as terrorist...

They were considered heros? Wow. And they were called Afghans then, but
would now be called Paki's. Most came from Balchistan or Sind and left
from Karachi, and the guys who rebelled at least wrote in Urdu.

yea sort of heroes, coz today there is not one australian that thinks that going to war with the ottomans was really nessacerry. it was a meaningless war for the australians since there soldiers died for abslutely nothing, coz it wasnt there war. These muslims that stood up for there countries (ottoman empire) really got the people of broken hill emotional...
"The first day of January 1915 was long remembered as a day of tragedy, terror, heroism and high emotion in the city of Broken Hill."
and yea on second thought it could be possible that they are pakistanis
