@Energy_forsleep@A_ALYassir@thestevennabil So language is what definies if an ancient civilization belongs to a modern country, by your logic then, the italians have nothing to do with the romans, because the romans spoke latin while the italians speak italian
@PandaOfUrmia@idiebymyrespect@LibElba Then how come genetic studies point to iraqis having the closest genetic lineage to the ancient mesopotamians? Not persians or whatever youre peddeling
@Sarinahwuq@thestevennabil And yet, these sand dwellers conqured your people, theres a reason iran is muslim and that arabic is being taught in schools๐
@aronthebaron_@thestevennabil kept their language? iraqi arabic is more similar to the ancient mesopotamian languages that modern persian is to ancient persian๐
@Energy_forsleep@A_ALYassir@thestevennabil Your username is literally named after the sumerian god anu, yet you dont know basic history or genetics. DNA studies on ancient mesopotamian remains consistently show that modern Iraqis are their direct descendants, living on the exact same land for thousands of years.
Ashura is a time of remembrance, sacrifice and reflection.ย
Today, on the 10th day of Muharram, we are reminded of Imam Hussain's unwavering commitment to truth and dignity. His timeless legacy reminds us of the enduring values of faith, service to one another, and the belief that justice is always worth fighting for.
Our Cityโs strength comes from the many faith traditions that shape it โ and our shared struggle against injustice and oppression.
May we carry these values forward as we continue building a more just City for every New Yorker.
