The alleged centuries of convivencia of Christians, Jews and Muslims in Spain and scintillating Islamic intellect are largely academic agitprop.

If you meant to talk to americans, you shouldn't use convivencia, scintillating and agitprop in your sentences.
Also, no. Arab imperialism was very much violent towards locals, as all imperialism.

Explain to me why Anna Karenina is seen as such an important work in literature. From my viewpoint it seems like a novel filled with really stockish characters and a pretty damn cliche plot, albeit one controlled pretty well.
Did the novel pioneer all these things? Did it have some really delightful voice that I can only experience if I read it in russian? Or is it something else?
Pic unrelated

Why didn't the American Empire invade south america?

Why waste men and resources for pitiful returns when we could economically and politically dominate them and get a lot more shit easier? Besides, we were busy bullying other countries throughout the world along with filling out our own current borders, fighting Native Americans, Mexicans, and our own people at times to do so.
Plus in the modern day, conquering other places is a giant red mark on a nation's image in the international community, so you can't just willy-nilly invade people for full-on conquest. Better to just establish peaceful relations and establish trade deals that will ensure a low-cost, high-yield result.

I think the whole "Taung v Piltdown" fiasco definitely shows that bias and hoaxes will eventually be weeded out by newer evidence. Any thoughts?

What would the Knight Templars call one another?
Were noblemen and commoners alike meddling together without deference, calling each other 'Brother'?

Commoner means any non-royal. But kind of yes. Templars were all nobles or gentry to begin with.
Tell me about Methodism.

It's a movement started by the Englishman John Wesley and focuses on the "praxis" or "method" of Christian living, hence its name. Many of Wesley's followers went on to establish their own churches such as the Church of the Nazarene which is known for its doctrine that a Christians can achieve a level of spiritual development so that they no longer commit any sins.
