The brief appearance of Islamic members.

Columbus was not the first person to propose that a person could reach Asia by sailing west from Europe. In fact, the idea is almost as old as the idea that the Earth is round = dates back to early Rome.

There's a big difference between having a religion and telling everybody what religion you are within the first five minutes of meeting them.

Look at J Goldman, a lot of his posts are saying that because he's a Christian certain rules of behaviour don't apply to him, that his religion allows him to be judgemental and bigoted.

The decent Christians don't need to announce their religion, they behave decently.

Do you call any migration period 'barbaric' or only those that correspond to your crude historical ideas?

Seriously? There's all sorts of information, including Sufi sites.

There any number of Islamic sects the have elements of Christianity and/or Judaism.

"Preach the Gospel every day. If necessary use words."

Its credited to a lot of folks, but it's a good rule for me.

They were barbarians because they sacked Rome with violence.

If a person smashes up a signpost, mailbox, or telephone pole, would you call them civilized or barbaric?

Barbarism is as barbarism does, and what it does is destroy signs of previous civilization.

No this is not me being elitist, this is me saying things as they are. It wasn't "migration". They helped destroy Rome!

All cultures are not the same! And even though Germans later adopted post-Roman civilization (Muslims never have become civilized, because their stupid religion is actively at odds wuth civilization, blaming it for all of their problems), the fact doesn't change that a roving gang of thugs is not an "immigration." This is why the West is falling apart, we can't even figure out the difference between immigration and slow invasion.

You know nothing, the Goths were promised land and other things for services rendered.

The Romans reneged, so they took what was owing.

I see.


Wait: the Romans were non-violent? They annexed and conquered without violence?

That's why only now we get more information about the Etruscan civilisation destroyed by the ... who did you say?

Now, that's really interesting!
When did that happen?

Sometime just before Sat 19 Feb, 2022 07:49 am, apparently.

He's learned about "The Pax Romana" and somehow missed the bit about the Roman Army part in it.

It's the sort of Christianity that allows the Roman Empire to wash its hands completely and blame the occupied Israelites for everything.

Yet still manages to attack Catholicism, it's a pretty all encompassing condemnation of all the Abrahamic faiths, (he's hardly complimentary about Islam,) with the exception of the version he has just pulled out of his arse.

As Walter Goffart wrote: "The volume of the Cambridge Ancient History for the years AD 70–192 is called 'The Imperial Peace', but peace is not what one finds in its pages".[

That would be with the Romans a. d. xi kal. mart. anno 2775, VII hora.
