It requires fascism and a a strong executive branch.

Well, for starters, Hitler didn't print money. And he certainly dind't preside over an increase in domestic consumption, which plummeted further than in the Weimar era. But in any event, his economic "solution" was a teetering structure that was always on the brink of collapse and eventually necessitated the invasion of other countries to bolster foreign reserves and add what was basically slave labor to the equation.

It wasn't sustainable by any means, and it wasn't really an economic recovery in the usual sense of the word. And ever since the 70s, the standard Keynsian line of government raising taxes (or printing money), spending a lot to encourage hiring out of any economic slump to attain full employment has fallen out of favor; monetarism is the main economic theory at the government level these days.

If I had a time machine, one of the things I would do is go back in time and murder the fuck out of Creasy before he ever wrote that shit book.

Tours was meaningless in regards to the "Christian vs Islam" conflict. And Martel doubly so, since he set the stage for Islamic incursion into what's now France by attacking Odo of Aquataine who had been keeping the Moors out prior to him wrecking shit.

>>2977987
>he fell for the "Martel stoped the muslims" meme
The battle of Tour didn't expell the muslims from France, much less from Europe, and the Caliph never wanted to settle in the north in the first place, the muslim troops were only there for the loot.

Plus Charles Martel usurped the french crown from the merovingians, who were the rightful leaders at the time since Clovis.

Plus Martel didn't care much for christianity or islam and killed more christian in his lifetime.

you mean besides the nazi vril ufo bases?

They probably would have had to abandon their Balkan ambitions. The Hapsburgs downplayed ethnic nationalism because the AH Empire was so multiethnic that it would cause issues.

>English translations of the writings of Mulla Sadra
Mulla Sadra's philosophy ambitiously synthesized Avicennism, Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi's Illuminationist philosophy, Ibn Arabi's Sufi metaphysics, and the theology of the Ash'ari school and Twelvers.

Mulla Sadra provides immutability only to God, while intrinsically linking essence and existence to each other, and God's power over existence. In so doing, Mulla Sadra simultaneously provided for God's authority over all things, while also solving the problem of God's knowledge of particulars, without being inherently responsible for them — even as God's authority over the existence of existences that provide the framework for evil to exist. This clever solution provides for Freedom of Will, God's Supremacy, the Infiniteness of God's Knowledge, the existence of Evil, and a definition of existence and essence which leaves two linked insofar as Man is concerned, but separate insofar as God is concerned.

Another central concept of Mulla Sadra's philosophy is the theory of "substantial motion", which is "based on the premise that everything in the order of nature, including celestial spheres, undergoes substantial change and transformation as a result of the self-flow and penetration of being which gives every concrete individual entity its share of being. In contrast to Aristotle and Avicenna, Sadra defines change as an all-pervasive reality running through the entire cosmos including the category of substance."

The Causal Nexus of Mulla Sadra was a form of Existential Ontology within a Cosmological Framework that Islam supported. For Mulla Sadra the Causal "End" is as pure as its corresponding "Beginning", which instructively places God at both the beginning and the end of the creative act. God's capacity to measure the intensity of Existential Reality by measuring Causal Dynamics' and their Relationship to Origin, as opposed to their effects, provided the acceptable framework for God's Judgement of Reality without being tainted by its Particulars. This was an ingenious solution to a question that had haunted Islamic philosophy for one thousand years.

Suhrawardi uses pre-Islamic Iranian gnosis, synthesizing it with Greek and Islamic wisdom. The main influence from pre-Islamic Iranian thought on Suhrawardi is in the realm of angelology and cosmology. He believed that the ancient Persians' wisdom was shared by Greek philosophers such as Plato as well as by the Egyptian Hermes and considered his philosophy of illumination a rediscovery of this ancient wisdom. According to Nasr, Suhrawardi provides an important link between the thought of pre-Islamic and post-Islamic Iran and a harmonious synthesis between the two. And Henry Corbin states: "In northwestern Iran, Sohravardi (d. 1191) carried out the great project of reviving the wisdom or theosophy of ancient pre-Islamic Zoroastrian Iran."[16]

In his work Alwah Imadi, Suhrawardi offers an esoteric interpretation of Ferdowsi's Epic of Kings (Shah Nama)[17] in which figures such as Fereydun, Zahak, Kay Khusraw[17] and Jamshid are seen as manifestations of the divine light. Seyyed Hossein Nasr states: "Alwah 'Imadi is one of the most brilliant works of Suhrawardi in which the tales of ancient Persia and the wisdom of gnosis of antiquity in the context of the esoteric meaning of the Quran have been synthesized".[17]

In this Persian work Partaw Nama and his main Arabic work Hikmat al-Ishraq, Suhrawardi makes extensive use of Zoroastrian symbolism[17] and his elaborate angelology is also based on Zoroastrian models.[17] The supreme light he calls both by its Quranic and Mazdean names, al-nur al-a'zam (the Supreme Light) and Vohuman (Bahman). Suhrawardi refers to the hukamayya-fars (Persian philosophers) as major practitioners of his Ishraqi wisdom and considers Zoroaster, Jamasp, Goshtasp, Kay Khusraw, Frashostar and Bozorgmehr as possessors of this ancient wisdom.

Poor catholics are a bane to society. Luckily they had a work ethic and took good jobs in law enforcement, fire fighting, etc., and made something of themselves. Assimilated, you might say.

Only the first four non hereditary caliphs are considered good caliphs (the rashidun). Nearly all hereditary caliphs are considered trash.

Sunni scholars consider only the first four elective caliphates.
Hereditary caliphates are against the Sunni Shariah (Law) anyways.
Muhammad (pbuh) said that it's the will of the people how the new leader will be chosen, even though Muhammad wished Abu Bakr (ra) to be the successor.In his last days of life, Muhammad let Abu Bakr to lead the prayers.

Twelvers rafidis disagree with Abu Bakr and claim that Allah (swt) is the only one powerful to pick a leader, therefore "picking" Ali ibn Talib (ra), which is considered one of the 10 companions of Muhammad (pbuh).

No, hussayn rebelled due to khawarij shia and we believe rebellion is wrong but he umayyads were tyrants and could be considered tahghout later on due to the fact they didn't enforce sharia.
The sunnis like myself believe that the caliph must be chosen by concensus and shia believe Ali (ra) was chosen by Allah and the imam is infallible and is from the family of the prophet which is objectively wrong.

Muawiayah was still the legitimate caliph

Not entirely true.

"According to Roman tradition, the Law of the Twelve Tables (Latin: Leges Duodecim Tabularum or Duodecim Tabulae) was the legislation that stood at the foundation of Roman law. The Tables consolidated earlier traditions into an enduring set of laws.[1][2]
The Twelve Tables are sufficiently comprehensive that their substance has been described as a 'code',[3] although modern scholars consider this characterisation exaggerated.[2] The Tables were a sequence of definitions of various private rights and procedures. They generally took for granted such things as the institutions of the family and various rituals for formal transactions. The provisions were often highly specific and diverse.[4]"

About as relevant as most retainers of important people of the time, which is to say not much.

Still, he really wuz the first western (lol) samurai n shiet

By all accounts, he was a capable retainer of Nobunaga's, and would have proved an intimidating sight at 6'2". A powerful and exotic warrior in Nobunaga's employ would obviously have enhanced his personal prestige, so his role should be fairly obvious.
