A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Interestingly, we may not be speaking Arabic anyway.
Christianity wouldn't exist without Jesus as a central figure, and Islam probably wouldn't exist without Christianity, as there would be no background for archangel Gabriel to deliver God's "final" revelation, and he would just be the defender of Israelis as told in Hebrew Bible (correct me if I'm wrong).
Without Islam, there would be no single force to fuel Arabic expansionism, and so Arabs would find themselves on a similar ground with European civilizations. Israelis, on their end, could actually expand and permanently settle the land instead of rebuilding their country millennia after.
Did not consider that far, good thought! :)
Wonder if India and Central Asia would be Buddhist then.
Likely :)
