My marxist History prof blamed whites for the skin color Caste system, which predated British India by about 400 years. I posit that it was heavily enforced by the ruling Maharajas which were light skinned turks.

Is it true that higher caste members can have sex with lower caste with impunity and that they cannot be refused?
I know they can with the casteless.

Siding with the Germans.

In 1920 they were at the height of power, from Mecca to Budapest. But then in Istanbul some dude said that they should dismantle themselves so they did hahaha. Some say that dude was Hitler himself. I am inclined to disagree

It got ripped apart by nationalisms. It's main fault was therefore its failure to provide the various nationalities with a valid alternative to separate nation-states.
Such attempts were made, but it was too little too late. Besides, the state was absolutely unwilling dismantle the privileged position of Muslims, which made the Empire unacceptable to Christians.

No they were a cultural group. An Iberian Celt would not have looked like a Pictish Celt or a Pannonian

It sounds ebin but, from a westener perspective, it's pretty much like becoming a muslim monk. Not for most people here.

Sufism is what we need to promote in order to destroy salafism and wahabbism.

There are some people who hold to an old view of history: that it is driven by "Great Men". Of Kings, Prophets and Warriors shape the world. Of heroes and their struggle. Such views while they have some charge due to romanticism are overly simplistic and childish.
Social issues, economic realities, administrative capacities, environmental factors and the march of technology and science (a process done by numerous artisans, engineers and scientists bit by bit as they refine and build upon what others set out before them) all have a much greater effect on history. The introduction of the Potato to the Old World, an act done casually by Spanish sailors who sold off surplus rations after returning from the new world for a little extra cash led to a considerable increase of the population of Europe which lead to the Industrial Revolution.

Seriously the wheel shouldn't count as an invention. If it does then walking and breathing are inventions as well.

Oh wow, surprised someone saved that pic. Glad to see it circulating.

It's amazing how untrue it is that "not all mulsims are violent". Not only are a shocking 15-20% violent, but as the pic in OP indicates, the MAJORITY support said violence even if they don't engage in it.
How is Islam defensible?

No idea. Probably India tier though a bit better. And we'd get more cornier Chinese movies due to the lack of Cultural Revolution creating a generation of depressed directors.

No, it would have descended into another era of petty warlords and split the country apart.

His philosophy is pretty 3rd rate and none of it is novel. He's an apologist and debater first and foremost and in terms of debate he's a master. I think he chooses weak opponents most of the time but hey, that's his business.
