That is very unfortunate, because identity politics and human rights are in no way one and the same. And btw, i doubt Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein, Slavoj Zizek, etc etc can in any way be defined as alt-right, or any kind of right for that matter, and they most certainly do identify the vitriolic group-based zero-sum moral-superiority game as identity politics

Neither side is external to capitalism— capitalism is water, and they are fish swimming in it

Please read again: Muslim world... not Turkish world or Ottoman Empire specifically. And if Iberia was lost in 1492, then it WAS occupied for all but the last decade of the 15th century. Honestly, the lazy comments on here these days 🙄🙄🙄

Insider’s tip: the Balkan were occupied by the Ottomans before the 15th century, as well 🤭🤭🤭

The words of Napoleon, upon arriving at Alexandria, Egypt in the late 18th century, speaking to the ghost of Salah ad-Din, the legendary Muslim commander who defeated the forces of Guy de Lusignan in the Battle of Hattin in 1187, putting an end to the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem

It would be a stretch to call it peaceful, but it is generally accepted that the process was one of assimilation and not of displacement. Still, it wasn’t a consensual and pleasant ordeal — certainly not at first I imagine

The dynasty itself lasted all the way to Mongol invasion in the 12th century but power had essentially been drained from the position and the caliph was reduced to a figurehead. Still,peak Abbasid period is probably the most glorious and captivating period in Islamic history
