Indian Classical Music is more theoretically complex than most of the western canon. The focus is moved from the composer to the musician who improvises using formal melodic structures and is generally religious in nature.

It's also worth noting that most western classical is tarted up folk dances and flashy medlys for easily entertained bougies.

No.

>Until the middle of the eight centuries, Damascus was the capital of the Umayyad caliphate, largely administrated by Syrians
>Uprisings against the Arabs throughout empire, Egypt had fallen from 3 million to less than 1.5 million Egyptians, by 1000 AD from Roman rule to Arab occupation
>Muslim discrimination and oppressive taxation stroked resentment among Copts, whose pride was wounded by coming of Arabs, continuous infiltration by nomads, repeated Coptic revolts suppressed with bloodshed.
>Many Copts convert to Islam after 832 due to irrigation system falling into disrepair making them unable to pay taxes, more and more migrated to towns leaving fields uncultivated. Not until the 1th century did the majority of Egyptians finally adopt Islam
>The decline of Syria’s population led to a decline in its prosperity, subsequently leading Arab to become the majority language not Aramaic, leading to some sirens revolting, immigration from Arabia also led to Arabisation
>Fatimid’s were arabs from Syria, walked around north Africa, who settled in Egypt, establishing Shiite caliphate in 969, based around Cairo

>Around the turn of the 4th century, as Memphis was continuing to decline in importance the Romans established a fortress town along the east bank of the Nile. This fortress, known as Babylon, remained the nucleus of the Roman, and, later, the Byzantine, city and is the oldest structure in the city today. It is also situated at the nucleus of the Coptic Orthodox community, which separated from the Roman and Byzantine church in the late 4th century. Many of Cairo's oldest Coptic churches, including the hanging church , are located along the fortress walls in a section of the city known as Coptic cairo
>Mamelukes were kipcak Turks or whites from the Russian steppe originally. Purchased as mercs for a sultan, who’s slave wife made herself sultan, then betrayed by her mameluke mercs who made their commander sultan the succession followed from there

I don't think you'd care about decency and modesty beyond simple taste if you literally have Carthaginian loli sex slaves.

Read about the rape of lucretia, severitas was a big deal for early romans.

Stalin was jewish himself.

>>2676629
>Why would Jews kill someone who hated religion on principal.

It's basically extreme self-reliance in all things, combined with collecrivization. It's incredibly retarded.

Specialization has so many benefits, what is their trade off?

What is hard to understand?

Authoritarian Autarky dressed up as a variant of Marxism.

No, Karaites are the descendants of Khazars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_Karaites .

>>2676495
Pavić stated that the Khazars were a metaphor for a small people surviving in between great powers and great religions. In Yugoslavia, Serbs recognized their own fate; it was the same in Slovenia and elsewhere, a schoolbook on survival. The same in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and on and on. A French critic said, 'We are all Khazars in the age of nuclear threat and poisoned environment.'[5]

>>2676495
The Khazars never followed judaism it's a meme created by the Rabbis(see Kuzari)

In the first place the Jews were never proselyte, unlike the Karaites and the Sadduceans

This might sound extremely euro-centric but they "re-opened" the Silk Road and Asian trade with Europe, so it can be reasonable assumed they introduced(or at least introduced the vector for) the Black Death to West.
That helped develop certain immune systems and genetic dispositions towards it, and (sooner or later) Europe learned that "hey maybe it helps if we dont have shit everywhere"

They also killed like 40 million people in the day of swords and arrows so that's cool too

>>2676459
Brought plague faster and to newer areas.

No.

>Religious freedom
Killing everyone and allowing them to be buried however they want is hardly religious freedom. Besides, they were just apathetic most of the time, not purposely tolerant. They wiped out religious sects that opposed them and murdered the Caliph of Baghdad. What freedom did exist either already existed (in China) or was revoked when Mongol rulers started converting.

>trade
Not much trade when sedentary society is destroyed. The Mongols caused economic collapse where they ruled due to destructive land and taxation policies, population decline and the destruction of cities. Opening up trade routes, which already existed anyway, didn't do much to fix this.

>Technology
There's no solid evidence that the Mongols actually used gunpowder outside of China, so they can't really be credited with its spread. They did introduce the counterweight trebuchet to China, but so what?

>>2676455
No

yeah

>>2676455
No

No more or less than any other colonial action.

Does it really matter now?

>Nor is it any longer possible for you to give up this empire … Your empire is now like a tyranny: it may have been wrong to take it; it is certainly dangerous to let it go.

No more or less than any other kind of paid soldiers, surely?

>>2676282
Totally.
A nation has to pay regular soldiers wages, so it's literally no different.

>inb4 war crimes
There's no such thing as a war crime.

GENOCIDE? WHAT GENOCIDE? I DIDN'T SEE ANY GENOCIDE.

>>2676277
Have some examples?

>>2676277
My country doesn't do that.

>>2676226
No. While there are wars the American's don't really "win" (Vietnam), the US has always been good at killing their enemies.

No, but you must remember what the US hasn't been invaded in the last 200 years and is geographically removed from all theaters of war, so it can bid its time and choose which battles to fight. Most countries don't have this privilege.
