Islam extinguished

[Codae]

If another religion pops up a couple hundred years after Islam, it might overrun it...

The chances seem pretty slim, though...

"The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters" -GENGHIS KHAN

You just don't see language like that from modern day perpetrators of mass genocide and slaughter.

The Khan is such a lady killer.

Honestly Genghis was just a throw back to man's oldest form of dealing with the "other": Kill the males, rape their women and have lots of kids. And thus winning the genetic race of supremacy. I think it ended being something like 4% of everyone in the areas the Mongols conquered decended from Genghis’ family tree.

It's really rather primitive thinking coupled with modern level warfare. Nazi were pikers by comparison.

I think so...or Sarmaritan - the group which included the woman at the well, whom Jesus spoke to in the Bible.

IIRC she was a Samaritan too.

A good part of Arabia at Mohammed's time was already Christian or Jewish, and Mecca was rather the exception than the rule. A Christian Mohammed could have started a puritan-like Orthodox Christianity instead. It's harder to tell what a Jewish Mohammed would have done - maybe even turn Judaism into a religion that actively proselytizes? This reformed Judaism might be similar to the Karaites' religion, based just on the Thora, but not the Talmud.
