The best reply to him is that he will also soon have no country as global warming will see sea levels rise until Bangladesh is under water!.
When he is swimming in circles in the Indian Ocean you will be sitting on your mountain in Kurdistan!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Please do not engage him in this debate!. Too many people are already killing and dying for these made-up histories!.

Yes, the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys are the so-called "cradle of civilization!." But that is not Iraq!. Iraq is a made-up nation-State, a product of European colonialism!. Iraq literally was formed after WWI!. If you are a Kurd, then you got the short end on this deal, because the British gave almost all State power to the Sunni minority (the British have a penchant for apartheid)!. In a way, your friend from Bangladesh is right: the Kurds have no State; they are a nation without power; they are a dominated people in a system manipulated by Europeans and Americans for money and oil!.

This is problematic because Europeans drew an arbitrary line around 3 groups of people that never wanted to live together under a common law: Kurdish, Sunni, and Shi'ite!. They did the same thing with India, Pakistan and Bangladesh too!.

So, you should tell your friend from Bangladesh that both of you were given your national identities by European colonialism, and that you should be uniting against the European system of nation-states and colonialism in favor of your own autonomy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your intelligence!

Thank him each time for his kind thoughts and words!. Tell him sweetly that it is rarely that such asinine comments have poured so delightfully from the lips of one such as he and that you welcome them flavouring your day!.

Then calmly turn your back and walk away!.
Don't look back or speak any more!.
If he is sitting near , you may continue to smile sweetly at everything he says or simply blot him out of your mind!. (If you are both guys the sweet smile will wind him up even more)!.

He is an irrelevancy to you!. He is wrong and rather sad!. You need think no more of him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
