Anthropology tells us that early modern humans slowly populated what is now sub-Saharan Africa and then began to migrate out into the rest of the world. Whether this was out of curiosity, the search for food or population pressure is unknown, but it was probably some combination of all three. The most likely route was along the western coast of the Red Sea and then into the Eastern Mediterranean. From there, humans slowly fanned out across the globe. It’s all speculation, but that’s the logical route out of Africa.

The point here is the first wave of human migration was south to north. Humans appear to have made it as far north as Siberia and Scandinavia before changes in climate forced people back south again. There are some who think that the populations to the north had acquired better cognitive and maybe even physical tools that allowed them to migrate south and displace the populations in the more temperate zones. The changes in climate had the effect of improving the human populations in Asia and Europe.
That may be debatable, but what is not debated is that large scale human migrations change both the invaded and the invader. The people being conquered are either massacred or bred out by the winning tribes. On the other hand, the invading people tend to borrow things from the conquered people, including genetics from the female line. The Irish say the Vikings took the best looking women with them to Iceland, which is why Icelandic women are some of the most beautiful in the world.
A good example of this may be Islam. Historians have assumed Islam grew out of the polytheistic religions of Arabia in the late 6th century. While the details of Mohamed’s life are not clear, it has generally been accepted that he was a real person, who lived around Mecca in the 6th century. It has been assumed that Islam was an Arab response to the growth of Judaism and various Christian sects. In time, Islam spread through the Middle East, as the Arabs conquered the region.
There’s some interesting revisionism of the origins of Islam and the accuracy of the alleged Arab conquests. This New English Review article from a few years back is a nice summary of it. The archaeological evidence suggests that Islam was a Persian implementation of a Jewish-Christian sect that disappeared after the Council of Nicea in 325. Persian coins from the period, for example, when Mohamed was allegedly leading the Islamification of Arabia, have Christian symbols on them, in addition to Persian symbols.
The revisionist think Eastern Christians migrated into Arabia and Persia. In time, their form of Christianity evolved into a monotheistic religion of the Persians. According to this line of thinking, the Persians actually conquered the region and spread this hybrid Christianity that would evolve into Islam. It was only later, when the Arabs took over for the fading Persians, that the tale of Mohamed was created, as well as the story of the Arab conquests. Islam as an off-shoot of a now extinct form of Christianity is not implausible.
What’s interesting about both approaches to the origins of Islam is the base assumption that it filled a void that existed within Arab populations. Christianity and Judaism were the dominant religions of the Near East, but those people were the hated rivals of the Arabs and Persians. A need for a unifying faith to compete with the monotheism of their rivals was probably understood by Persians and Arab rulers. Religion has always been the business of kings, so it is reasonable to think they encouraged this development.
It’s also interesting that Islam most likely evolved from a mix of Judaism, Christianity and other ancient religions. What may have started out as a Jewish heresy was transformed by the people into a religion that was useful to them. Put another way, Christianity made its way into a less than fertile land, but adapted and mutated until it was something that could thrive. The fact that Islam has not spread too far past the boundaries of the people who created it suggests something about religion in general and Islam in particular.
When you look at what is happening to Europe, there are some similarities to the Arabs and Persians in late antiquity. The attempts to replace Christianity with the sterile bureaucratic super state have largely failed. Falling birth rates and an unwillingness to resist invasion are signs of a people who have no purpose. The average European today lives for carnal pleasures and the acquisition of goods. There’s a void in the center of European life and perhaps Islam is what is going to fill it.
It could very well be that the Muslim invasion of Europe is the end of a cycle that was started by Emperor Constantine when he made Christianity the religion of his empire and bound the Church to Rome. The losers at Nicea wandered off into the desert, presumably to be forgotten, but instead, their decedents are back to reclaim Europe. Like the people who migrated north and then returned ahead of the ice sheets, the Muslims are coming into Europe armed with a purpose, against which the locals have no answer.
Alternatively, maybe the people in charge of Europe, away from the public and the press, know that their people need a religion. Maybe like the Persian king Chosroes II, who historians are sure practiced a form of Christianity, the leaders of Europe are inviting Islam into their lands, even if it means taking in Muslims. After all, the Archbishop of Canterbury seem pretty keen on Islam. It’s unlikely that there is a secret mosque in Brussels for the EU rulers, but maybe they think some form of Islam would not be such a bad thing.
Regardless, we may be seeing the start of a reconquest, of sorts. Instead of Christianity making a come back in the West, it is the forgotten version, the one many think was the first and therefore the correct version of Christianity. Islam as practiced today will never work in Europe, but it could certainly evolve into something that does work. Maybe what’s happening is that the old original form of Christianity is coming back, but first as its foreign incarnation. In time, it will evolve into something the West can use.
Islam can’t evolve into anything meaningfully different than what it is. Once a religion has its foundational, immutable texts, its’s bound by them. If an “evolved Islam” were possible, Bahai would be a significant sect, rather than the tiny offshoot understood by actual muslims to be heresy. The Reformation is not analogous, no matter how much it gives false hope to those hoping for an Islam without the head-lopping. The Koran not only commands “slay the unbeliever”, it’s also replete with threats to the “hypocrites” – heretical muslims. Ergo, ISIS kills mostly muslims. People who hope for a Reformation in Islam are either people who don’t understand Islam or who don’t understand religious people in general. Those who think “all religions are equal bullshit” are stupid. Even if all religions are bullshit, it doesn’t follow that they’re bullshit equally. I don’t see any airplanes blown up by Buddhists or Quakers.
Malaysia is majority muslim and they dont seem to be killing everyone else there. It also gets modern and developing fast. In the 1990s they started making a handful of old model mitsubishi based cars for domestic market, the Proton. Now they have what they call the Detroit of Asia, all the Japanese pickup trucks are made there. Compare that with the christian country neighbor with no real domestic economy, the Phillipines that doesnt have progress.
Of course Europe is not filling up with Malaysian and Indonesian Muslims though. Europe continues to vote for open borders until the alliance between leftists and muslims have the numbers to block nationalist candidates.
Immutable foundational religious texts havent stopped christianity go from interpreting homosexuality as an acceptable abomination and women being inferior and subservient to a feminist church.
“Anthropology tells us that early modern humans slowly populated what is now sub-Saharan Africa and then began to migrate out into the rest of the world. ”
I don’t accept this simple theory. On average, European / Asian people have considerably higher IQ’s than the jungle bunnies (85 IQ for American Blacks, and 75-80 for Sub-Saharan Blacks).
It doesn’t seem likely plain old ‘evolution’ that we have lighter skins and finer features, straight hair, and substantially higher IQ’s.
More likely we have a had a VERY DISTANT ancestor – but I think the races split long before the first humanoid.
Europeans shouldn’t be elevated to the same level of intelligence as Asian and Jewish if they are devolving and dumbing down (not all, just the average). They are going in the wrong direction to be equal with Asians.
there has been dna testing evidence that suggests the pharaohs had celtic traits and, in addition, nearly every culture east to west, north or south has pale skinned gods that came to them to give them knowledge…
Not very likely, the reality is this;
So-called Liberals are able to reconcile their expressed beliefs of tolerance and diversity with sympathy for the intolerance of Islam simply because they hate God, and arrogantly align their thinking with a religion of hate. Jews, too, hate God, and are far more stealthy than Muslims.
I applaud Mr. Spencer. Unfortunately, I feel he’s right for the wrong reasons. The bright line is whether one loves or hates God. Christians are being persecuted as much today as any other time in history. It is Christian countries that are under attack. Judaism is a dead religion, and the Ashkenazim Jew, the ruling class in Israel, are not even hereditary Jews. They are from a tribe called the Khazars who converted to Judaism, rather than either Christianity or Islam. There is no mention of them until 1000 AD, 300 years after the advent of Islam.
Islam is the spearhead into Europe and the West, but the one wielding the spear is the Jew. Soros is one of the main antagonists, as are the Rothschilds, who are intent on controlling Europe and global hegemony. The US is complicit and the American public are fooled by the propaganda of Zionism.
This is not a matter of debate. It was all written down by the poet Ferdowsi in his epic work Shahmeneh. Considered on a par with Homer, Ferdowsi wrote his work in Persian at the time when others wrote in arabic and is credited with single-handedly saving the Persian language from extinction. From wiki:
The Shahnameh, also transliterated as Shahnama (Persian: شاهنامه pronounced [ʃɒːhnɒːˈme], “The Book of Kings”), is a long epic poem written by the Persian poet Ferdowsi between c. 977 and 1010 CE and is the national epic of Greater Iran. Consisting of some 50,000 “distichs” or couplets (2-line verses),[1] the Shahnameh is the world’s longest epic poem written by a single poet. It tells mainly the mythical and to some extent the historical past of the Persian Empire from the creation of the world until the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 7th century. Modern Iran, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan and the greater region influenced by the Persian culture (such as Georgia, Armenia, Turkey and Dagestan) celebrate this national epic.
The work is of central importance in Persian culture, regarded as a literary masterpiece, and definitive of the ethno-national cultural identity of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.[2] It is also important to the contemporary adherents of Zoroastrianism, in that it traces the historical links between the beginnings of the religion with the death of the last Sassanid ruler of Persia during the Muslim conquest and an end to the Zoroastrian influence in Iran.

Oh shit !!!! You guys Make everything to brainy . Here’s my take. Both Judaism and Islam are Anti – Christ religions that are Satanic to the core.Any Religious system or political
Ideologies the rejects Christ are by default Satanic.This is the problem my little children. There will never be peace in the Middle East or anywhere else for God is not going to allow any Tower of power Ziggurats to challenge his authority on earth or in heaven. Including the New World Order.Got that ?

Islam’s founder was a murdering pedophile who unleashed upon the world a virulent, violent ideology that allows for no separation of spiritual and temporal power. Islam produces theocratic nation states. Someone please point out to me a Christian theocracy existing in the world today.
The inherent barbaric qualities of Islam preclude any possibility of reform. The punishment for apostasy is death in any number of gruesome ways. Questioning the tenets of Islam is apostasy. An Islamic Martin Luther would have his head sawed off before he could nail his 95 theses to the mosque door.
Christianity has a history of meetings, conclaves, and councils held with the express purpose of clarifying doctrine and correcting errors. From Nicea to Vatican II, the Church possesses an inherent mechanism that allows it to evolve within certain spiritual parameters. To my knowledge, Islam has no such history or mechanism of self-correction. I once read an essay describing Islam as being trapped in an “evolutionary cul-de-sac.” I see nothing in its modern iteration that will allow it to escape.
The rise of Islam in the modern world is just a continuation of a 1400 year war against…well…against anything that is not Islam. Rationalize and pretend all you’d like, in the end it will be us or them. Take an honest look at the history of Islam and tell me if there can be any other outcome.
Think about this for a moment. Who benefits from your hating Islam and everything attached to it? Do the vast majority of muslims live normal lives in the sense that non-muslims do?
Given that there are over a billion muslims in the world, what do you intend to do about them?
I don’t give a fuck what you think about islam or it’s prophet. I don’t really give a fuck what I think about it, or its prophet.
It is here, it is queer. Deal with it, or die poor and miserable after refusing to.
Here’s what I think of Islam and its prophet Zara, and this is what should be done about it. I wrote this in response to a namby pamby post by Scott Adams. Maybe it will cross your mind as the knife is being drawn across your throat.
The “tipping point” has been reached when guys like Dilbert here can spout off about the “reasonable middle” as if there can be such a position with regard the barbarism which is Islam. If anyone has even a reasonably detailed working knowledge of Islam (murderous cult), its founder (murdering, rapist, pedophile), and history (murder, rape, pillage, conquest, slavery), then they should come to the rational conclusion that the reasonable rate and type of Muslim immigration to be desired by any Western nation is none and…none!
Oh my Scott!! How ever will we know what the right amount of Islamic immigration is without the proper studies? Look, asshole, there is no “right amount” of Muslim immigration. Study Islamic history you buffoon and open your eyes to the truth about these barbarians. Maybe do a little cursory research into the terms jihad, hijrah, taqiyya, etc. before you open your yap about where the tipping point might be with regard to cultural suicide. For God’s sake, watch the news once in a while!
Moron
All Muslims in the U.S. should be given a choice: Disavow Mohammed while standing in a vat of pigs blood and pissing on the Quran (make sure the process is videotaped and filed in a central data base), or be forcibly deported (men, women, and children) and abandoned on some stretch of North African beach.
All Islamic teaching materials of any kind in U.S. should be incinerated. All mosques and madrasas should be burned to the ground or bulldozed and the ground soaked in pigs blood and sown with salt. Maybe mix in some Jack Daniels for good measure.
The practice of Islam in any form or iteration should be banned, references to it excised from all American educational material at any level. Islam must be eradicated to the greatest extent possible within American borders and it should be guarded against as if it were an infectious, deadly disease.
If we don’t do it to them, you can be damned sure they’ll eventually do it to us, but then that little realization doesn’t come to a guy like Scott Adams until he finds himself kneeling beside the raped bodies of his wife and kids just before his head is sawed off.
There’s your immigration model dumbass.
Or we could worry about the traitors occupying the highest positions of power in our own government. But then I don’t have the big I.Q. to pull out of my pants like others around here so what do I know?
Jesus Christ is God’s Son and everyone will have to deal with that Truth or rot in Hell. For your sake, at least watch from 4:54
