To cite just two authorities (among hundreds that I could mention), I refer you to two classic works of the field: Averil Cameron's The Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity 395-700 AD, and Peter Brown's The World of Late Antiquity, CE 150-750. Or you can just check Wikipedia if you're too ignorant and lazy to actually open a book. It is now increasingly recognised among scholars of the period that Islam, like Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism, is a religion of Spätantike, a product of and actor in the late-antique Mediterranean world. My "barrage of trivia" is a direct response to your idiotic and historically-illiterate contentions. Like all dishonest actors, when you cannot reply to an argument - because you are so obviously wrong - you simply try to change the topic. Constantinople, incidentally, was conquered by the Turks in 1453, a full 800 years after the Rashidun conquest of Jerusalem. And far from "buying a playground and converting it to a cemetery," the Ottomans turned a run-down, impoverished and diminished city into a revived European capital. Ottoman Istanbul was also one of the greatest cultural centres in history for boylove, but I'm sure you don't care about any of that either. You are not actually interested in debating history and you don't care about whether anything you say is actually true. All you care about is spouting your toxic racist filth all over this board. |
