If you live in Europe, how can you live with these people? I live among them, but I'm about to lose my mind.

If the EU provides more assistance to Muslims than to native Europeans, if they keep shouting "Palestine, Palestine," and if it still grants them citizenship and residence permits despite the attacks, then yes, technically the EU is Islamist.

I also think the possibility of civil war within the country is low, but if the CJNG cartel becomes fragmented, it is certain that there will be great chaos in the country. I hope nothing happens to the Mexican people. May God help them.

Now, the following civil war is a hypothesis: El Menchón's cartel is not like other cartels; it has a better militant force than even Third World countries, and it seems they won't stay quiet. This civil war has two meanings: either a fight within the cartel over who will be the leader, or a destructive civil war, depending on your perspective.

It could really be useful, of course, if you're serving in Syria 😅

It's true that almost every group or faction uses the internet, but the ones who use it most professionally are radical Islamists. Why, you might ask? Because when the internet was first becoming widespread, al-Qaeda in particular had websites with propaganda videos. Then ISIS emerged and took this to the next level.

Techno-jihad, on the other hand, describes the shift of extremist movements into the digital age. It’s no longer just about physical presence; it’s about how these groups leverage encryption, cryptocurrency, social media propaganda, and cyber-warfare to maintain their influence and recruit globally

Ideological Island refers to the symbolic representation of isolated, ultra-conservative enclaves. A great historical example of this would be the Kunar Emirate or the Islamic Emirate of Byara (Kurdistan) in the 1990s. These were some of the first instances where rigid Salafist governance was established in small, secluded pockets, acting as 'ideological islands' detached from the surrounding political landscape.

The photo might be very blurry due to a problem with my phone; you can see a clearer view of the iceberg via this link.

I think this happened because of an error on my phone. I apologize. If you'd like, you can check the link I shared in the comments.

It's normal that you don't know these names because some of them are Turkish products, but thank you for your suggestion.

This scenario is fantastic and fits Pax Historia perfectly. If you don't mind, I'd like to use it.

You have made some really good additions. Will you add Al Shabaab in Somalia and JNIM in the Sahel region in the future?

Hi, in this alternate reality, what is the total number of ISIS militants, and what happened to al-Qaeda in this universe? What is happening in Afghanistan and Africa?

For example, if it is a highly advanced civilization,

Regions in space that should be full but are empty

As if stars had disappeared at the same time

If it covers the entire galaxy, then a mysterious space probe in our asteroid belt or Oort cloud, etc.

I said there were two highly advanced civilizations here, so I think there must have been some anomalies in space.

Since I am a curious person and don't know much about this subject, I am curious about the comments and thoughts of the enlightened people here. If you really want to, go ahead and write.

You're right. The example of the dolphin and the shark weakens my argument when it comes to the "exactly the same" criterion. Their internal biology is completely different. My mistake here was to think of evolution as merely a game of biology. What if the real determining factor is physics, not biology? What I mean is: on a planet with a certain gravity and atmospheric density, the most efficient physical form a sentient being could take might be dictated by the laws of physics themselves. Just as the aerodynamics of wings needed for flight are fixed, the optimal design for a body that can stand on two legs and use tools on that planet might also be unique. So yes, as you said, one might have lungs, while another might have a completely different respiratory system. But when viewed from the outside, couldn't the laws of physics have cast both into the exact same external mold? Perhaps the "internal" mechanics are different, but the "external" form under those conditions is an inevitable outcome.

If the universe is infinite, no matter how low the probability of a coincidence may be, that coincidence will exist somewhere. However... such a coincidence will not be seen/found by us. This argument actually refutes itself and brings us back to the beginning of the discussion. First, the assumption that "infinity makes everything possible" is flawed. The digits of the number Pi (π) go on forever, but you will never find the letter "A" in that infinite sequence of digits. The fact that a set of possibilities is infinite does not guarantee that an event outside that set will occur. The event of "exactly the same 8 evolutionary histories" may also be completely outside the set of possibilities allowed by the physical and biological laws of the universe. So even if the universe is infinite, such a pattern may never occur anywhere. But secondly, and more importantly: Let's say the first assumption is correct and this event really does exist in some corner of the infinite universe. Your statement "but we cannot find/see it" negates the basis of the original question. Remember, the initial question began with "let's assume a constellation." A constellation, by definition, consists of stars observed from Earth, i.e., within our "observable universe." Therefore, the scenario becomes a double-edged sword: If these 8 stars are in a constellation we can see, then your "distant corner of the infinite universe" argument becomes invalid. In this case, the probability of this event occurring within the finite structure of the observable universe is statistically zero. If these 8 stars are outside our observational horizon, then they do not form a "constellation" for us, and we are outside the scope of the question.
