I've read that the crusades were never considered a major threat by the Muslim world and they don't cover it in depth in their own histories- is that accurate?
>>821350
Well, Salahadin continued to conquer North Africa. The Holy Lands were just the Stalingrad of the jihad these days.
I wonder whether the Ottmans were so in first place or if they've just adopted the Greek culture of Constaninople.
You gotta understand, for us Muslims the crusades were like a bullied group of autists who showed up with a big plan to shoot up a school over some old slight only to have their guns fail them so they start stabbing each other
The MONGOLS were fucking horrifying though

Kind of. It's more a case that the Crusades weren't distinguished from any other sort of Western or Eastern Christian threat, and Western historians like to categorize these things to the point where people start missing the forest for the trees.
The specific campaigns of specific years by specific Frankish princes didn't get as much press as they obviously did in Europe. But the Muslims did consider Franks overall as a major threat for their conquests in Sicily, Spain, North Africa, and their pirate...

You are now aware that this was a cowardly war crime and would be an egregious violation of the Geneva Convention.
Ruse of War. It's legit. It's like using camo.
It was a stupid ending to a really stupid war, can't the fucking Spartan dumbass king marry someone else? Can't Paris just fuck off?

Why didn't Islam ever catch on in most of India, despite centuries of rule? Shouldn't it have appealed to the lower classes? Why did it stick in Sindh and Kashmir but not the Gangetic plain or the Deccan?

>Why didn't Islam ever catch on in most of India
It did. 14% of the current population of India is Muslim, and that doens't include Pakistan and other places that are historically in the Indu sphere. Islam did appeal to the lower castes, from whom a large percentage of today's Indian Muslims descend from. If by your question you mean:
>Why didn't Islam ever have a super majority in most of India?
The answer is because of the lack...

Was the Nanjing massacre fact? And was it worse than the holocaust?

Yes.
>Worse than Holocaust
Less people died, but both were horrible experiences.

its the holoaust of the orient, both in how terrible it was, and how much the victims use it to gain political points even though the nation that commited said crimes payed reparations a long time ago.

Tell me about some interesting history in the Maghreb pre-Islam.
All I'm aware of is Carthage, Numidia, Vandal kingdoms and a few others. Is the area simply too unexplored or is there really not all that much more significant occurances that took place there than what we know?
Any recommended literature on the topic? Any interesting civlizations or cultures besides those I mentioned?

Berber as a linguistic family is very new compared to other afroasiatic languages
North Africans were originally Black and the oldest haplogroup is subsaharan
Tebu a nilo-saharan group found in southern Libya and Chad founded the first black african Islamic kingdoms and nations conquering the native Sao culture.

1. Muslims pride themselves on their conception of the covenant being always, immutable, black and white, with unchangeable laws of absolute morality. Now Mohammed is presented as the paragon of Islam, but he had thirteen wives, whereas Islam permits only four. Every Islamic rationalization I've seen of this uses consequentialist ethics.
2, The idea of the sacrificial victim being Ishmael instead of Isaac makes no sense. Isaac is Abraham's legitimate son, therefore a greater sacrifice. Isaac's faith is key here too, since it is his descendants which end up being given the covenant and producing all the prophets before Mohammed. Ishmael is father of the Arabs, and it seems to me that the only plausible reason to say he was the sacrifice is to accentuate the importance of the Arabs at the expense of the Jews.

3. When Christ asked to be forgiven in the Garden of Gethsemane, he said for it to be in the Father's will, not his will. Showing that he deferred to the Father. In Islam, the Father deferred to him, and saved him. This seems inappropriate.
4. Though more reasonable Muslims don't consider all artistic depiction to be wrong, most who are serious still think it is wrong to depict Mohammed. This grants enormous prestige to Mohammed in a way that is close to deifying him, since it is suggesting any depiction...

Didn't read. If you're a christfaggotard you have no right to criticize Islam as you all stem from Abraham flacid, circumcised penis.

We have an agreement Akhi.
