If there were not schism over the dual nature of Christ, and Islam never happened but rather Christianity maintained dominance in the Middle East, would Europe and the Middle East have wound up with a common identity? Perhaps even racially? I know it took a while for Catholics and Orthodox to be accepted as white by Protestants, but perhaps if they were, then the Middle East would have been too provided the conditions mentioned at the beginning of this post were in effect?

Stop applying an American perspective on world history.

If Islam never happened some other cult with similar beliefs would have replaced it. Religions are a result of their environment.


The early Christians, Gnostics, and Mithrists all had similar ideas. If the Christian cult failed than the Mithra cult would have taken it's place or the Gnostic one. The same would be true in the middle east, Muhammad was the strongest warlord so his religion won, if he died the second strongest warlord would take over and have a similar religion.

This sounds like nonsense. Why would a religion other than Christianity had to become dominant at that particular time?

This is my dream

Fug you Mohammad

Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Europe ended up with different identities instead of a single common one. Whatever pretense to unity and brotherhood they might have shared every now and then was periodically washed away by a lot of blood and spite.

So, no.

WHY DO DIS HAPPENED!!!

They share a pretty common identity today.

I'll concede that the West and Middle East would probably be closer if we had encouraged Arab nationalism, but as long as the ME is Muslim, it's culture is going to be too different to be assimilated into the West

The European Union is not an identity

No, for the sheer reason of distance. This, too, may likely fracture the ability for the people of the two continents to work together, but would most likely result in lots of petty wars between "kingdoms".

>>379222
There might have been petty wars, but I think the Western identity goes beyond that.

>Can't assimilate

Then that speaks to failures on its part.

Basically until the 60s some parts of Egypt and Lebanon were pretty cosmopolitan.

I mean, there were Greeks, French, British, Jews, Copts and Muslims in Egypt. Now only the last two remain.
