[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think  you want to feel like we’re all perplexed when we’re actually not. Maybe one person in your life was confused and now you’ve turned it into a thing. [/quote]

Yeah, this. Honestly, no one cares and we don’t want to feed your odd need for attention. I know people like you seem to want to feel special for what is quite conventional.

I mean WOW. Are you really a Christian Arab? Well, I’ll be dipped in sht.

You could just as easily become an Arab Rastafarian, which would actually be much cooler.

But no, we’re all just ignorant Ameri-centric rubes.[/quote]

Many people are surprised that there are Christians in the ME and Africa, historically and currently. It’s a subject that is interesting to discuss, even if you don’t have interest in it. We all suffer through threads about atheist “testimony” detailing the events that led to there belief in nothing, and no one rudely comments about being “dipped in shit” because atheists feel like discussing their belief in nothing online.

You are just a rude person with no tolerance for anyone or anything other than what directly affects you. An entire world exists outside of you and if you weren’t so busy mucking about in feces, you might learn something about it all.

Yes many people are surprised to find out for instance that the Ethiopian Bible predates the King James one or that Palestine vs Israel is not a Muslim vs Jewish conflict and that Israelis are not all white . Many Israelis are Jews that came from the Middle East (Yemen, Syria, Egyptian, Iraqi, Moroccan, Libyan Jews) not Europe.

There is lots of nuance in the region that even people in governments do not understand [/quote]
