I'm sure, you respond by "I was just saying and never claimed to know", but the operative word here is, you haven't heard of this point in history. Which is why I advised to read a book at some point.
Which goes for the medieval muslim world also. You might start with where jews have been better off, as in not being the scapegoats for every setback, and actually could rise to higher office. Was it the christian or the muslim world?
Do you know how to have a conversation?
I'm talking to you about one thing then you're saying "You might want to look up if the Jews had it better in the Christian or the Muslim world, in ancient times"
Why would I look that up? Did I say the Jews had it better with the Christians? Did I mention the Jews? Did I say the Christians were at the forefront of equality in medieval times?
Ok I'll play along with this game.
Did you know that there's an island next to the maldives made entirely of landfill?
You might want to look that up.
It has absolutely fuck all to do with anything we've been talking about but you might want to look it up.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
