Explain to me how the Christianity, which was practised far from the Arabian peninsula at the time when Islam came into existence, had any bearing on the Paganistic Arabs who first began practising Islam, other than minor mentions of Jesus in the Quran.

>if some staff officer hadn't forgotten his cigars in September 1862, Harry Turtledove would be writing alternate history novels where a failed art student takes over Germany and kills all the Jews

>>3199860
In Egypt, Palestine and Iraq, sure. But as I said, not in the Arabian Peninsula where Islam originated. It was a very small minority there at most.
So as I said, Christianity would have had little influence on the development of Islam

If a German chancellor hadn't put out a seemingly harmless welcoming message to refugees Europe never would have been fascist in 2032

>>3199886

Next you are going to tell me the Ghassanids weren't in the Arabian peninsula

Also once again, Jesus is a prophet in Islam

>>3199886

Jesus is literally the most mentioned figure in the Quran and is central to the Quran with him being the penultimate prophet to Muhammad.

A 5 minute google search can reveal this to you.

If some lazy greek faggot paid his debts and didn't purge Constantinople's trade quarters both world wars wouldn't have happened an non existent hitler wouldn't had to divert 30 divisions to yugoslavia

Actually McClellan had already begun moving his troops even before 191 had reached him.

>Christianity would have had little influence on the development of Islam

I think he moved but he just didn't move fast enough and he delayed before the battle which allowed time for A.P Hill to begin moving from Harper's Ferry and other reinforcements to arrive.
If he had done a significant push at either the passes or on the day before the battle he would have put Lee in a sticky position.

If some dude wasn't a manlet, or didn't sit behind a tall woman wearing a hat, then he wouldn't have had to stand on a wobbly chair. FDR would have been assassinated instead of the mayor of Chicago. The US would never have passed the New Deal. Some theorize that the extended Depression would have led to a second revolution.
