Today marks the 10th year of Arab Spring. The man immolated himself on Dec 17th, 2010. And Tunisian president fled Tunisia on Jun 15th 2011. It hit all Arab states including Syria. Syrian gov cracked down hard, leading to Syrian civil war for 10 years.

People fled the Arab states into Europe. Europeans greeted them but that created turmoil inside themselves. Rise of the far right and then Britain rather opting to exit EU than to host the immigrants.

And then it hits US politics too. Trump gained to power promising to build "the wall" to block the flow, which was supposed to be financed by Mexico. Plus, "Why would you not pronounce the words rad***l muslim te****st?"

10 years of Arab Spring from which Muslims gained nada. But it tilted the world nevertheless on its head for ever.
