Use your head

What you're positing would be around 80,000 Arab soldiers somehow completely displacing and replacing a settled Iranian population of about 30 million people

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is

>>1743173
Persians were ruled by foreigners for 1000+ years so it is likely

>>1743160
Even In Turkey east asian admixture is miniscule, and they look far more like a greek or armenian than like a krygz or uighur.

More than likely that the migrant populations were very tiny compared to locals, and they were asimilated into them.

Of course. But comparing the soviet states to ISIS isn't a good comparison. The post soviet states destroyed things related to communism. Isis is destroying ancient artifacts that go as far back as the Assyrians and Mesopotamian. They've destroyed Egyptian mummies as well. That places ISIS in a different league from the Soviet States.

But yes it's obvious that destroying historical monuments is horribly wrong.

Depends. Most soviet monuments are worthless mass produced garbage.
Lenin statues are copy paste junk. And you can actually find them still in random places because of how numerous they were.

I like what they did in Hungary, and just pile them all up just outside Budapest and make it a tourist attraction.

What does it feel like to be a goy and be so thoroughly deluded? I'll be counting your shekels, remember we're your greatest ally.

I am pretty sure I have seen exactly the same post a few months ago.

Probably bait, don't reply to this faggot.

Aren't the Indonesians muslims?

Indonesia and Borneo had a bunch of Hindu and then Muslim Empires. Well, Indonesia has had two Hindu ones, then it broke up into tiny Muslim states. 1200s is the century of Major Islamic conversions.

Then the next big Maritime power was the Bruneian Empire (yes, that tiny Microstate today), which ran a sultanate that occupied the whole of Borneo and some subjects in the Philippines.

The Philippines was largely Greek City States/Vikings/Celtic Barbarians in that no single power ever held rule over there. The land was divided into local hegemons of tribal kingdoms of either pagan or muslim faith, in addition to semi-nomads, Chinese/Japanese pirates hanging in between them. Which is why it was first colonized as Spics basically set up shop in empty land and dabbled in local hegemonic/penis measuring contests with the local power brokers.

I am totally guessing here, but it's probably because China had a very bureaucratized government and government culture. Cities were not only economic centers, but centers of prestige and political power.

Japan was far more dominated by a warrior aristocracy for much of its history, and you had more powerful nobles vis a vis the central government than you did in China. For reasons I'm not 100% certain of myself, that sort of feudal/warrior aristocracy tends to ground itself in rural areas rather than urban areas. With them the dominant social class, they'd be more focused on protecting the countryside and their own fiefs.


But I don't actually have any particular knowledge of either society in any great depth, so take this with a large grain of salt.

Those are not city walls. Your point?

Because he god stereotyped as weak manlet.

In fact, Reagan receives credit for Carter's achievements like putting an end to stagflation or making the sharp turn in the Cold War.

Because when Americans have an accurate self-image, are governed soberly, and aren't murdering anyone overseas, they call it 'malaise'.

Reza Aslan isn't a scholar. He's a creative writing teacher. He has no business writing about history, he isn't a historian.

question: where does the giant cube factor into christ's ministry?

>>1742278

Right because one's current profession means that a person is barred from doing anything else regardless of their entire background. By that fucking logic Eisenhower had no right to be president because he had no previous political office and spent most of his career in the military.

This.

When it's not about crafting an identity for yourself.

Yes, World War 2.

Lots of time, you might want to study history.

For a starter, why don't you go look up the wars between Russia and Lithuania in the late 15th centuries that saw Lithuania's easternmost strip being torn away into the "Third Rome".

>>1740833
Only under Suvorov. But this is indeed a fair assessment of Russian military history.

It was never taken literally aside from a minority of idiots.

"It not infrequently happens that something about the earth, about the sky, about other elements of this world, about the motion and rotation or even the magnitude and distances of the stars, about definite eclipses of the sun and moon, about the passage of years and seasons, about the nature of animals, of fruits, of stones, and of other such things, may be known with the greatest certainty by reasoning or by experience, even by one who is not a Christian. It is too disgraceful and ruinous, though, and greatly to be avoided, that he [the non-Christian] should hear a Christian speaking so idiotically on these matters, and as if in accord with Christian writings, that he might say that he could scarcely keep from laughing when he saw how totally in error they are. In view of this and in keeping it in mind constantly while dealing with the book of Genesis, I have, insofar as I was able, explained in detail and set forth for consideration the meanings of obscure passages, taking care not to affirm rashly some one meaning to the prejudice of another and perhaps better explanation" (The Literal Interpretation of Genesis 1:19–20 [A.D. 408]).

It depends on your interpretation of 'literally'.

Words can have more than one meaning.

>>1742924
What is the literal interpretation?
Did the "Day of the Dinosaurs" last 24 hours? Does saying "back in my day" mean that I'm only 24 hours old?

>>1745116
Yes. The only non-evil country is UK.

They were a beacon of freedom and tolerance for many years, it is truly a shame that Germany and Russia had to ruin it.

Ever heard of Nibiru? Yeah, it was those guys.

You'd have made a success of your life and be chilling in your mansion on Malibu beach, watching your white wife and twelve blonde children frolicking in the sea.
