...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
is in talks with three countries in a bid to develop a Spaceport in Somalia and a rocket to carry out lunar landings,
Lunacy!

#3  Supplying rocket tech to the Abnaa ul-Calipha in Puntland or the Wilaya al somali, while roping in other islamic or mentally retarded nations in what anyone with sense would call a fool enterprise.

#2  Caliphates, Ertugrul,
Hamid Karzai's own LAX,
and hunting Gulens, inter alia.

We're, busy, busy Ottomans.
And shall now be bringing
outer space to Allah's own Somalia.
