@CapturingChrist It is delusion to believe that we all worship the same God simply because we are all monotheists and there is absolutely nothing to be gained from pretending that we do. I don’t see how you can hold this view without accepting Muhammad as a prophet.
@JesvinGeo In all fairness, at various points in history it was the other way around too. That’s just the reality, and we can’t get around it or ignore it. Misrepresenting the truth doesn’t help.
@kipchakistan @That_Guy_Amin0 @CSSML57@abdallh_flby392 Fair enough about the Chagatai khanate but the yuan dynasty was huge. And don’t forget about the mongols who were still living on the Mongolian steppe.
A lot of mongols did convert to Islam but to say it was all or almost all is an exaggeration.
@Lund1120790 @That_Guy_Amin0 @CSSML57@abdallh_flby392 No, the original point was about the Golden Horde and Ilkhanate specifically. Not central Asians as a whole. You’re the one who mentioned all these other people and trying to somehow lump them all together. Highly disingenuous, even if *some* were descendants of the mongols.
@Lund1120790 @That_Guy_Amin0 @CSSML57@abdallh_flby392 It is well known that the ottoman collapse began long before then. It’s not like they were a powerhouse right up until WW1 and then it all came down. They were struggling against the Russians for a long time. WW1 was really just the final nail in the coffin.
@Lund1120790 @That_Guy_Amin0 @CSSML57@abdallh_flby392 Even if the ottomans were “Turko-mongols”, which is think is a huge distortion, remember they also collapsed. They were strong until they became the “sick man of Europe”. And when exactly did the Golden Horde turn away from Islam?
@DrZen555 Evidence was provided and the fact that you say it wasn’t shows you didn’t look into this properly or you are wilfully ignorant. And even if they provided 0 evidence, that doesn’t mean people are entitled to make up conspiracy theories about who’s to blame.
@ianmiles He won only the first round, not the actual presidency and the evidence provided of Russian interference was extremely significant. If you haven’t looked at the documents, researched the Romanian electoral system or can’t find Romania on a fucking map, mind your own business.
@RealCandaceO You’re the one that’s brainwashed if you think Russia is some bastion of Christianity. People have used and manipulated religion and “spirituality” throughout history and Russia is no different.
@visegrad24@GPiperea Mass immigration is not a thing in Romania and this party getting into government would harm Romania’s support for Ukraine, the EU and NATO.
@Catholic_bro A chapter and verse would be needed to prove that she *can*, not that she cannot. The burden of proof lies with the one making the positive claim. There is no reason to believe she can hear any of us unless evidence of that is provided.
