Tell me about Axum.
How did they remain Christian, and true to Christianity, when so cut off and surrounded by Islam.
How different is Axumite Christianity to the rest?
For those who don't know, Axum was a Kingdom in East Africa from around 100AD to 940AD.

The answer to this is simple, both islam and christianity are desert religions from that very region

They ctually tried to invade pre-islamic arabia, Quran says their elephants were killed by birds caring rocks.
>>63541881Christianity has very deep roots there ; Axum also enjoyed a non-aggression pact with the muslims from the north ; they were not totally surrounded by muslims though.

This. Consider that even in the 20th-21st century Ethiopia was never really 'conquered' and in fact defeated the first Italian force sent there.
